Medical office planned for South Florida Avenue redevelopment
A rezoning application aims to clear the way for medical office use at 5955 S Florida Ave.
The owner of 5955 S Florida Ave has filed to rezone the property from BPC-2 to LCC (Local Commercial Classification), with the stated purpose of redeveloping the site for medical office and other potential uses.
The rezoning request was filed in late June 2026, followed by a companion plan amendment filed in early July. A design review filing from June suggests preliminary planning is underway.
