The wait is finally over for the start of the North Park Isle subdivision development. Commissioners approved a final plat for North Park Isle Phase 1A during last week’s commission meeting and now the developer is officially ready to start the vertical development on the initial
phase. The applicant also requested a waiver to allow dead-end streets in lieu of cul-de-sacs for areas that will connect to future phases, which commissioners also unanimously approved. North Park Isle has a long and complicated relationship with Plant City. The development was first approved by commissioners in 2006, then modified in 2016 and again in 2018. Then the applicant asked commissioners
to approve the Planned Development District as a mixed-use residential development allowing maximums of 1,100 single-family lots and 250 multi-family lots. Construction plans for Phase 1A and 1B were approved by staff in January 2020. CONTINUED ON PAGE 6
