On January 5, 2022 the Polk County Planning Commission unanimously approved a binding site plan for 232 apartment units on 11.6 acres off Lake Hatchineha Road. 

 The project is located “on the north side of Bayberry Street, west of Marigold Avenue, east of Allegheny Road, north of Hatchineha Road, east of the city of Dundee.” The land is owned by Gordon Land LLC. 

 This proposal is part of the larger Poinciana Planned Unit Development — addressing the remaining portion of Neighborhood 3 within Village 7. The area was rezoned to multifamily in 2005 but was in need of a binding site plan. As a result, commissioners were evaluating the design of the proposed project, rather than the compatibility of the proposal’s high density. 

 The project is proposed as a 55+, retirement community, but Florida law prevents the county from enforcing age restrictions on development requests, according to county documents. 

The planned buildings will be four stories and courtyard style. Access to the development will be via an extension of Allegheny Road. 

The RE/MAX Heritage team is trying to obtain all details and we’ll be sharing shortly.
