Commission transmits comprehensive‑plan amendments to Florida Commerce
Summary
The county adopted Ordinance 20 26‑01 — the first part of a comprehensive‑plan update of administrative housekeeping and data updates — and will send the package to Florida Commerce for compliance review.
The Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance 20 26‑01, a set of administrative amendments to Hardee County’s comprehensive plan that the Central Florida Regional Planning Council packaged as part one of the update. Presenter Jennifer Cotto Salisbury said the changes mainly update data and planning horizons to remain consistent with state law and earlier guidance.
"Today before you is the adoption of the first part of the comprehensive plan update," Salisbury said, and explained the package had been through an earlier Commission review and a 60‑day transmittal to Florida Commerce. The board heard that the changes include interim year data for 2036 and text that cites the relevant statutory elements, while remaining consistent with Senate Bill 180 limits on new restrictions.
Commissioners and staff praised public turnout at a regional event (Heartland 2070) that fed into the later, broader Part 2 work. With the board’s unanimous vote the ordinance will be transmitted to Florida Commerce for its compliance review and further comment; commissioners signaled they expect Part 2 later in the fall to address broader visioning topics.
