Planning & Zoning Commission / Local Planning Agency Regular Meeting · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

A rezoning proposal is under review for two separate parcels of land within the City of Sebring, historically used as an orange grove and now vacant. The property, currently designated for Medium Density Residential (RM) future land use, is proposed to be rezoned to accommodate approximately 36 to 72 multi-family dwelling units. This rezoning is considered consistent with the RM designation, which allows for densities between 4 to 8 dwelling units per acre, and aligns with the surrounding residential neighborhood. The project is currently under review by the Planning & Zoning Commission. If approved, the rezoning would allow for site preparation, grading, utility installation, construction of multi-family structures, and final landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's scope as it moves through the review process, potentially securing work before final plans and permits are issued.
