ADDITIONAL LAND ANNEXED/REZONED AT CITY COMMISSION MEETING PLANT CITY GROWS BY MORE THAN 217 ACRES AND A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT COMES ONE STEP CLOSER TO BREAKING GROUND. MICHELLE CACERES STAFF WRITER
Plant City’s boundaries have expanded again when Plant City’s City Commission voted to annex 22 parcels totaling approximately 217 acres into the city limits. The approved annexation also means that a proposed residential development project in Plant City is one step closer to fruition.
More than 118 acres of the annexed land, located on the south side of Trapnell Road and east of James L. Redman Parkway, is slated for the Southwind Planned Development District. At the same meeting, a Future Land Use Amendment was requested, and approved, to change the land use from Hillsborough County- Residential 1 (one housing unit per acre) to City of Plant City Residential-4
(up to 4 housing units per acre.) The developer and builder, Cardel Homes, plans to build up to 249 homes on the property, which would mean a gross density of 2.1 housing units per acre.
