THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The county is processing a large-scale Comprehensive Plan amendment to re-designate 1.49 acres on Socrum Loop W from Residential Low-4X to Linear Commercial Corridor-X. The site sits by US 98 N in a Transit Supportive Development Area and is envisioned for future commercial redevelopment in line with nearby NAC and convenience uses. With transmittal and adoption hearings scheduled through October 2026, corridor property owners will soon be able to pursue new retail, office, and service projects needing planning, design, and construction support.
Amendment increases existing LCCX node to 2.92 acres near growing Lakeland suburbs; area lies in TSDA and Transit Corridors and Centers Overlay, with sidewalk and transit expectations for future projects.
