Summary

On second and final reading the City Commission approved Ordinance O-25-21 (future land use amendment) and Ordinance O-25-22 (assignment of C-3 zoning) for a roughly 33-acre property at the northeast corner of Snively Avenue and Eloise Loop Road.

The Winter Haven City Commission on second reading approved two related ordinances that amend the city’s future land use map and assign Commercial Highway (C-3) zoning to a 33±-acre annexed parcel at the northeast corner of Snively Avenue and Eloise Loop Road.

Why it matters: The ordinances change the property’s long-range growth designation and assign a commercial zoning district, enabling development consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan and zoning code.

City attorney read the ordinances by title. The measures were described as: Ordinance O-25-21 amends the 2035 Winter Haven Comprehensive Plan future land use map by revising the parcel from Neighborhood Suburban to Neighborhood Mixed Use Hub future land use and assigning neighborhood mixed-use hub to an annex parcel; the site was described as approximately 33 acres. Ordinance O-25-22 assigns Commercial Highway (C-3) zoning to the same annex parcels and was presented with no changes from first reading; staff recommended approval on second and final reading.

There was no public comment at the hearings on these items. Commissioners moved and voted to adopt O-25-21 and O-25-22 on second and final reading by voice votes, with no recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript.

Implementation and context: Staff noted there were no changes since first reading and that the planning commission and staff review had been completed in advance. The approval assigns the zoning to the property; subsequent site plans, permit reviews and any required infrastructure or concurrency reviews will follow established development-review procedures.
