At its May 26 meeting the Winter Haven City Commission approved ordinance O‑26‑12 (rezoning for a convenience store/fuel sales), ordinance O‑26‑15 (budget amendment for Diamond Plex), resolution R‑26‑15 (right‑of‑way vacation at Lake Eloise), and resolution R‑26‑17 (acceptance of Willoughbrook North infrastructure).
The Winter Haven City Commission voted on several docketed items during the May 26 meeting. Key outcomes:
• Ordinance O‑26‑12 (second reading): Approved. Rezones approximately 0.46 acres at 2001 First Street North from MX to C3 to permit a convenience store with fuel sales; staff recommended approval based on consistency with the future land use designation and surrounding C3 parcels.
• Ordinance O‑26‑15 (second reading): Approved. Authorizes budget transfers and additional appropriations related to the Diamond Plex softball complex design‑build guaranteed maximum price and associated roadway improvements.
• Resolution R‑26‑15: Approved. Vacates a portion of the platted West Lake Eloise Drive right‑of‑way; staff corrected a legal description error from a previous action and referenced county right‑of‑way maps.
• Resolution R‑26‑17: Approved. Accepts remaining improvements and dedications in Willoughbrook North and authorizes release of the developer’s performance bond for completed phases; the city will not accept maintenance responsibilities for internal subdivision drainage or internal rights‑of‑way.
All items were approved following staff presentations and with no public speakers recorded on those specific items during the public‑hearing periods.
