Polk County Commissioner Bob English wanted the support of his peers on the board for his request that county staff develop changes to the Land Development Code Text. He was rebuffed, but not entirely.

His concern centered around two types of businesses. In the first category were bars, lounges, taverns and inns. The second category was gas stations. English began by pointing out that the matter had first been brought up at the May 1 Board of County Commissioners meeting.
