An office park is proposed on Fitzgerald Road in South Lakeland

Where it is. On Fitzgerald Road in south Lakeland, about 600 feet from Dona Julia's Restaurant and about 650 feet from Marco's Pizza. Distance measured from map data, October 2026.

Two of the places within a quarter mile, nearest first; the nearest large store is kept when there is one. Straight-line distance between the mapped points. Restaurant locations geocoded from the Florida DBPR active food-service licence file, read Oct 7, 2026.

A rezoning filing would clear the way for business office buildings on two parcels off Fitzgerald Road.

R Nunez Homes LLC, led by Robert Frank Nunez, has filed to change the zoning on two parcels near 155 Fitzgerald Road in South Lakeland so the land can be used for a business office park. The records describe office buildings as the intended use.

The filings are early and still being sorted out. The earliest application mentioned a BRC 1 zoning designation, while later filings point to BPC 1 for business office use. As of the most recent record, Polk County has marked the application "Additional Info Required," meaning the applicant still needs to supply more before review moves forward.

What happens next

The applicant needs to provide the additional information the county has requested before the rezoning can advance through review.
