Restaurant site on Florida Ave South moves toward redevelopment

3437 Florida Ave S, Lakeland Applicant: Chris Ziegelmeyer; Julio Sandoval; Janet Lopez

A vacant restaurant property at 3437 Florida Ave S is undergoing concept planning.

The site at 3437 Florida Ave S, currently vacant, is the subject of concept plan filings dated early 2026. Records show two separate concept plans completed for the location, along with a zoning verification request. The filings suggest preliminary design work is underway, though specific details about the intended use or scope remain unclear from public records.
