City of Florence Planning Commission - April 14, 2026

The City of Florence Planning Commission held a meeting on April 14, 2026, primarily focused on zoning and land use matters. A key procurement-related discussion involved a rezoning request for a 50-acre parcel on Stokes Road from Commercial General to RG3 Residential to allow development of a single-family subdivision with approximately 155 lots. The commission heard from a civil engineer representing the developer, who highlighted the suitability of the site for residential use and the inclusion of significant green space and buffering. The commission voted to approve the rezoning request. Another agenda item involved annexation and zoning of a 13-acre parcel adjacent to Grove Boulevard to correct a property boundary issue related to an accessory structure, which was also approved. No contract awards, RFPs, or vendor selections were discussed during the meeting.
