U-HAUL Moving and Self-Storage Facility Considered for 4+ Acres of Land in Lake Wales

Date:

by James Coulter

A U-HAUL Moving and Self-Storage Facility could potentially be built upon 4+ acres of land now that the Lake Wales City Commission has given preliminary approval to annex the land and change its zoning and land use designation.

At their regular meeting on Tues. Dec. 17, 2024, Lake Wales city commissioners voted unanimously to approve the first reading of three ordinances about 4+ acres of land.

The subject property, according to the city agenda memo, is located “east of US Highway 27 and adjacent to the Parc at Lake Wales multi-family development underway” in unincorporated Polk County.

The ordinances would annex the property into the city limits, change its future land use designation to LCI Limited Commercial, and amend its zoning to LCI Limited Commercial Industrial.

The new designation will help facilitate the proposed development by permitting “low traffic generating commercial and industrial uses fronting on major roadways that will not result in commercial strip development.”

Lake Wales city staff had reviewed the proposal, and determined that the proposed development “will maximize existing infrastructure investments by connecting to municipal water and sewer.”
