The Hardee County Planning & Zoning Board set a date‑certain hearing on Oct. 1 to consider application 26‑58, a request by the Hardee County Industrial Development Authority to rezone approximately 82.89 acres from Farm Residential (FR) to Planned Unit Development (PUD).
The proposal would allow roughly 111 single‑family residential lots with internal roads, stormwater infrastructure and recreational tracts. Chair (Speaker 1) read the staff summary and asked for a motion to schedule the hearing; a committee member moved to set the Oct. 1 date and the motion carried by voice vote.
The board did not debate the merits at length during the meeting; the scheduling action reserves a full hearing on the rezoning for the Oct. 1 agenda. The item will return to the board for substantive testimony, evidence and any quasi‑judicial findings at that date.
