Parker Commission to Vote Nov. 17 on Comprehensive Plan Update

The City of Parker Commission will hold a public hearing and a final reading of Ordinance 2026-430 on Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. CST at City Hall, 1001 West Park Street, in Parker, Florida, according to a city public notice.

The ordinance would adopt the 2026 Large Scale Update to the City of Parker Comprehensive Plan. The notice says the amendments are city-initiated under section 163.3184 of the Florida Statutes. They update the goals, objectives and policies of nine plan elements: future land use, transportation, housing, infrastructure, coastal management, conservation, recreation and open space, intergovernmental coordination, and economic and capital improvements.

The ordinance also updates the future land use map series. The notice does not describe specific changes to the map.

At the hearing, the commission will accept public testimony before considering adoption. The notice says the hearing may be continued from time to time as needed.

Copies of the comprehensive plan amendments are available for public inspection at Parker City Hall, 1001 West Park Street. The notice does not list an online location for them.

The notice also says that anyone who decides to appeal a decision made at the meeting will need a record of the proceedings. That person may need to arrange for a verbatim record that includes the testimony and evidence on which the appeal would be based.

Residents with disabilities who need help taking part should contact the City Clerk’s office at (850) 871-4104 at least 48 hours before the meeting.
