06.09.2026 P&Z Agenda Packet
[3925 Muriel Avenue, Sebring, FL 33870; case P&Z 2192] The Planning & Zoning Commission/Local Planning Agency is considering a rezoning request for an approximate 9.11-acre parcel at 3925 Muriel Avenue, Sebring. The applicant, JI Realty LLC (c/o Dana Riddell & Jeff Kennedy), seeks to change the zoning from AU Agricultural District to R-3 Multiple-Family Dwelling including Motel and Hotel District. The property is identified by Parcel ID C-21-34-29-050-0550-0000. The proposed development is for multi-family residential use, with an anticipated 36 to 72 dwelling units. The Planning and Zoning Division recommends approval to the Board of County Commissioners. The property has a Future Land Use designation of Medium Density Residential (RM). Concerns were raised by Highlands County Road & Bridge regarding ingress/egress from Muriel Avenue and widening requirements for several roads. Highlands County Fire Rescue noted that multi-family dwellings over 3 units would require sprinkler systems and fire hydrants. The property is within MAZ III (Military Airport Zone). The next hearing is scheduled for July 21, 2026, by the Board of County Commissioners. [2601, 2603, 2605, 2703, 2707, 2709, 2711, 2803, and 2809 Valerie Boulevard, 782, 784, and 786 Memorial Drive, Sebring; case P&Z 2193] The Planning & Zoning Commission/Local Planning Agency is considering a rezoning request for twelve parcels totaling approximately 6.3 acres, located at 2601, 2603, 2605, 2703, 2707, 2709, 2711, 2803, and 2809 Valerie Boulevard, and 782, 784, and 786 Memorial Drive, Sebring. The applicant, Orange Capital Group, LLC (c/o Genesis Moro), seeks to change the zoning from R-1 Residential District to R-2 Two-Family Dwelling District. The applicant proposes to develop two-family dwellings on these parcels. The Planning and Zoning Division recommends approval to the Board of County Commissioners. The properties have a Future Land Use designation of Medium Density Residential (RM). Highlands County Engineering requires a replat to accommodate drainage, shared access, and dedicated right-of-way, suggesting a Planned Development approach due to increased intensity. The Florida Department of Health noted wastewater flow estimates and minimum lot size requirements for duplexes. Several lots are constrained by a wetland conservation easement and buffer, potentially limiting buildable area. The properties are within MAZ III (Military Airport Zone). The next hearing is scheduled for July 21, 2026, by the Board of County Commissioners. [3810, 3818, 3822, 3904, and 3906 SR 66, Sebring; case CPA-26-653SS] The Planning & Zoning Commission/Local Planning Agency is considering a small-scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment for five parcels totaling approximately 1.9 acres, located at 3810, 3818, 3822, 3904, and 3906 SR 66, Sebring. The applicant, Ivan Barajas (c/o Lew Carter & James Leonardo), requests to amend the future land use map designation from Agriculture (AG) to Commercial (C). The Planning and Zoning Division recommends approval to the Board of County Commissioners. The parcels are currently vacant and heavily vegetated, with a current zoning of B-2 Limited Business District, and vested rights for commercial development. The proposed change aligns the Future Land Use Map with the existing commercial zoning. There is a companion zoning change request (P&Z 2194) for these parcels to B-3 CU Business District with a Conditional Use for open storage. The proposed amendment is considered consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's growth management strategy, efficient infrastructure provision, and discourages urban sprawl. The next hearing is scheduled for July 21, 2026, by the Board of County Commissioners. [3810, 3818, 3822, 3904, and 3906 SR 66, Sebring; case P&Z 2194] The Planning & Zoning Commission/Local Planning Agency is considering a zoning change for five parcels totaling approximately 1.9 acres, located at 3810, 3818, 3822, 3904, and 3906 SR 66, Sebring. The applicant, Ivan Barajas (c/o Lew Carter & James Leonardo), requests to change the zoning from B-2 Limited Business District to B-3 CU Business District with a Conditional Use for an open storage lot for cars, trucks, boats, RVs/campers, and the like, with an accessory office building. The Planning and Zoning Division recommends approval to the Board of County Commissioners. This request is companion to a Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA-26-653SS) to change the Future Land Use from Agriculture (AG) to Commercial (C). The parcels are currently vacant and heavily vegetated, with vested rights for commercial development. The proposed zoning aligns with the requested commercial future land use. The next hearing is scheduled for July 21, 2026, by the Board of County Commissioners. [3810, 3818, 3822, 3904, and 3906 SR 66, Sebring; case P&Z 2194 / CPA-26-653SS] The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval for a zoning change for five parcels totaling approximately 1.9 acres. The request is to rezone from B-2 Limited Business District to B-3 CU Business District with a Conditional Use for an open storage lot for vehicles, boats, and RVs, along with an accessory office building. This is accompanied by a Future Land Use Map amendment from Agriculture (AG) to Commercial (C). Highlands County Engineering approved with conditions, requiring commercial development review. The Florida Department of Health had no objection regarding septic systems and wells. Highlands County Fire Rescue noted the inclusion of a water tank and dry hydrant on the plans. The property has vested rights for development consistent with B-2 zoning. The proposed use is considered compatible with existing development patterns along SR 66. Conditions of approval include limiting the use to the specified open storage and office building, shielded commercial lighting, a 20-foot transitional landscape buffer from the northern property boundary, a parking buffer along SR 66, and access solely from SR 66.

This civic agenda item concerns a proposed development in Highlands County that is currently under review. The proposal involves potential road widening and access management. Specifically, Highlands County Road & Bridge has commented that if ingress/egress is granted to Muriel Avenue, then Amy Avenue, Muriel Avenue, and Douglas Avenue should be widened to a 22-foot paved county standard. Cemetery Road may also need widening from Amy Avenue west to MLK Jr. Boulevard. Highlands County Engineering notes that the applicant must go through the commercial development review process, which may reveal further requirements. Highlands County Fire Rescue has suggested that the development should consist of single-family dwelling units up to quadplexes, and any structures over three units will require fire sprinkler systems and fire hydrants. This review process could lead to site clearing, grading, underground utility work, road and driveway paving, and potentially construction of residential structures. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should engage early to understand the evolving site plans, bid requirements, and permit timelines, as this project is in its early stages of review.

1. The Departments, Divisions, and Agencies listed below provided comments
Highlands County is reviewing a proposal that includes a replat of a subdivision to manage drainage, provide shared access, and create a right-of-way for a roadway. The project also involves a proposed rezoning that would allow for greater development intensity on the same land. A Planned Development approach is suggested to ensure adequate infrastructure for safe entry and exit, as well as necessary drainage. The proposal also addresses wastewater flow, with duplex units estimated at 600 gallons per day. For properties using city water, each lot with a duplex will need at least 0.24 acres. If a single lot with one duplex is split between two owners, each new parcel will require its own septic system. This project is currently under review by the Planning & Zoning Commission. The work would likely involve site clearing and grading, underground utility installation for water and sewer, stormwater management systems, road construction, and potentially building construction for duplex units. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out early to understand the project's scope as it moves through the planning stages, before final site plans, bids, and permits are issued.

2. Soils: The soils underlying the sites are Satellite-Basinger-Urban Land
This item concerns the soil conditions for a planned development in Highlands County. The soils identified are Satellite-Basinger-Urban Land Complex, Basinger Fine Sand, and Hontoon Muck. The Satellite-Basinger-Urban Land Complex has very low water capacity and very rapid permeability, with a water table 12 to 42 inches deep. Basinger Fine Sand also has very low water capacity and very rapid permeability, with a water table near the surface during the rainy season. Hontoon Muck has very high water capacity and very rapid permeability, with a water table over 80 inches deep, but presents severe limitations for urban use due to its high water table and low bearing strength, requiring major reclamation for development. This item is currently under review by the Planning & Zoning Commission. The project will likely involve extensive site preparation, including clearing, grading, and significant soil reclamation and management, followed by underground utility work, foundation construction, and final building and landscaping. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, heavy civil work, and potentially specialized soil remediation services could find opportunities as this project moves forward. Early engagement is advised before detailed site plans and permits are finalized.
