Update: Moving Forward in the PUD Process

We’re excited to share that Payne Creek Preserve is advancing through the Comprehensive Plan stage of Hardee County’s Planned Unit Development (PUD) review.

Standard, transparent process for master-planned communities:

  • Staff analysis
  • Public input opportunities
  • Review by the Planning & Zoning Board and Board of County Commissioners

Once complete, we move into full PUD approval and detailed Site Plans.
