The Charlotte County Planning and Zoning Board unanimously recommended that the Board of County Commissioners approve four related amendments to the Babcock Ranch Master Development Order (MDO) and Increment Development Orders (IDOs) to reflect a required five‑year master traffic study update and adjustments to development rights and exhibits.
Staff presentation: Community Development staff summarized the proposed changes, saying the amendments update the MDO and increments 1–3 to reflect the results of a 2024 master traffic study (using FDOT District 1 modeling out to a 2045 horizon year), incorporate the land‑use equivalency matrix into the MDO and increment exhibits, and reallocate residential and nonresidential development rights among increments to match current project buildout patterns. Staff said public notices were mailed within 1,000 feet and that the properties lie east of State Road 31 and total approximately 13,630 acres across the DRI.
