Davenport seeks recreation area on Alabama Avenue

Where it is. On Alabama Avenue in Davenport.

A proposal to rezone 7.31 acres on Alabama Avenue from residential to recreation and open space.

A comprehensive plan amendment filed in late August would change how Polk County zoning designates a 7.31-acre parcel at 430 Alabama Avenue in Davenport. The property currently carries a Residential Low-4 (RL-4) future land use designation.

The proposed amendment seeks to establish a Recreation and Open Space (ROSX) future land use designation instead. The application is from John Adams RJWA, Inc., based in Kissimmee.

What happens next

The application is currently being reviewed by Polk County. A public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners would follow if the application moves forward.
