A small lot near Highway 540A gets cleared for office use
Polk County commissioners changed the land-use designation on 1.35 acres along Highway 540A from suburban residential to office center.
A 1.35-acre parcel along Highway 540A had its Future Land Use Map designation changed from Residential Suburban-X (RSX) to Office Center-X (OCX). The change was requested by Tim Campbell of the Clark, Campbell, Lancaster, Workman & Airth law firm and moved through the county as a small-scale comprehensive plan amendment.\n\nAt the June 16, 2026 adoption hearing, Land Development Director Ben Ziskal told commissioners that staff and the Planning Commission both recommended approval, and that the site sits directly adjacent to a church. No one spoke during the public hearing, and the Board approved the amendment.\n\nThe records show the land-use category is now set for office use, but they do not describe any specific building, tenant, or timeline for what would go on the site.
