Cogent Capital Management has requested to change the zoning of 4.33 acres to C-2 commercial zoning in order to build a 94,000-square-foot self storage facility at 2575 Harden Blvd. in Lakeland, FL. The site is next to the Azalea Park retirement community, east of Muirfield Village condominiums and south of Beacon Terrace Mobile Home Park. Neighboring residents and Lakeland officials denied an earlier request from Cogent. Proposed changes to the plan lowered the warehouse size by 8%, mainly by eliminating the third story. Cogent also eliminated its request for 17 outdoor storage spaces for RVs and boats on the west side of the building.
