Polk County staff presented the year‑based comprehensive plan amendments required by Florida law; the board approved adoption and final submission to state agencies. Staff said the separate, broader comprehensive plan rewrite will follow and that the year‑based amendments were transmitted to the state with only minor comments.

Other land‑use actions approved or transmitted during the expedited public‑hearing block included:
• Old Tampa Highway CPA: A request to change 2.5 acres from Residential Low to Industrial (approved for transmittal/approval).
• Motor Vault East CPA: A change from Residential Low to Institutional for approximately 2.28 acres to expand an existing institutional motor club (approved).
• Poinciana Bayberry Street CPA: Future land use change from Development of Regional Impact to Institutional on approximately 72.27 acres to facilitate a future high school site identified by the school board (transmitted to state review as recommended by staff).

Staff also brought forward land development code (LDC) text amendments as first readings — changes include allowing cargo containers for storage on residential properties at a rate of one container per acre (minimum one acre required), aligning pool safety language to the Florida Building Code, and removing conditional use standards for individual mobile homes in the Southeast Polk selected area plan. The planning commission recommended approval on the items shown; most LDC items were first reading only and scheduled for adoption on December 2, 2025.

One agenda item (referred to as O1 in the public block) was continued to the December 2 meeting due to a publication error.

Provenance: Planning presentations began at 00:58:34 with the expedited hearing block and the comprehensive plan adoption recorded at 01:02:21.
