Commission adopts map amendment to allow new Willow Oak fire station
Summary
The board approved a small‑scale comprehensive plan amendment to change 2.15 acres from residential suburban to institutional to facilitate a new Willow Oak fire rescue station.
Polk County commissioners adopted a small‑scale comprehensive plan map amendment (LDC P A S‑2025‑520) to reclassify approximately 2.15 acres from Residential Suburban to Institutional to accommodate construction of a new Willow Oak Fire Rescue station.
Staff said the proposed new station will be located northeast of the existing station at the intersection of Willow Oak Road and Willis Road; the site will replace a small existing facility. The item had unanimous planning commission support and was processed under expedited hearing procedures. Staff identified the correct parcel size as 2.15 acres after noting a typo in a staff slide.
No site plan or construction contract was approved at the meeting; the adoption changes the comprehensive plan designation to allow institutional uses, permitting future permitting and design work to proceed.
