At the Monday, Oct. 10, City Commission meeting, no residents spoke against the addition of 22 new homes in the Park Place subdivision, located north of Historic Downtown Plant City. City Commissioners unanimously approved the addition of a 22-lot single-family plat.
The 7.67-acre addition to the gated Park Place subdivision received preliminary approval by the City of Plant City’s Planning Board in 2014. Construction plans were approved in November 2015, and final approval from the board was received in January.
Park Place is located east of North Johnson Street and west of North Gordon Street and currently has 71 homes.
Each of the lots in the new addition, with the exception of the four lots located on the addition’s corners, will be about 8,500 square feet.
There are no restrictions on the new addition by the City of Plant City, because Park Place does have an existing HOA in place, and is a gated, deed-restricted community.
The City of Plant City zoned the land for R-1A, single-family homes, which may be either single- or two-story.
A sidewalk will be added to both sides of Wild Daisy Drive upon construction.
Wild Daisy Drive was formerly named Park Place Drive, but a street with that name already exists in Hillsborough County.
The developer will be responsible for extending existing water, sewer and reclaimed water lines to the community’s 22 new lots.
UPDATE MARCH 2017: A previous version of this story said that there are no restrictions in place on the new homes. While the City of Plant City is not adding additional restrictions, Park Place is gated, deed restricted and has and will continue to maintain an HOA.
The story also previously stated that the land was zoned for multi-family homes. While the future land use designation is for multi-family homes, the zoning is strictly for single-family homes. We regret the error.
