LDPD-2026-6 — Rural Residential Development (RRD) with 145 single-family lots at 0.95 DU/AC net density of 1.69 DU/AC in Polk County, FL

Applicant requested approval for a Rural Residential Development designation to increase density from 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres to approximately 1.69 units per acre on property in a Residential Suburban future land use district. The Planning Commission voted 7-0 to deny the application without prejudice, finding the proposed density incompatible with the surrounding low-density rural area and citing infrastructure concerns including historic flooding in the Kathleen Drainage Basin.
