Mayor Sortal's Plantation Update - September 4, 2026
In response to residents’ requests for more time to decipher the updates to the City’s Comprehensive Plan, I am moving the final approval hearing from Sept. 9 to Oct. 21 and now Nov 18
The Planning, Zoning and Economic Development Department has been working on these updates for years.
Back in May 20, 2025, this newsletter shared a notice for a Planning and Zoning Board meeting to discuss the plan, along with the backup documents. One of the documents is a three-page summary of the notable plan elements that may be worth reviewing again.
The latest version of the Comprehensive Plan that incorporates the State’s required revisions can be viewed on our agenda page.
It contains 15 elements, including the Water Plan we are required to review and incorporate into the in the Comprehensive Plan every 5 years. We’ve requested South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) to extend this deadline more than once. Until this plan is adopted, the City is not eligible to apply for any SFWMD grants, loans or other funds.
