the
proposed
future
land
use
amendment
consistent
with
the

the

That's
one
dwelling
unit
for
10
acres
to
city,
low
density,
residential,
that's
25,
dwelling
units
per
acre,
subject
to
the
findings
of
the
staff
report
for
the
property
owned
by
apopka
center
line
development
llc
and
located
at
1879
boy
scout
road,
and
we
have
a
staff
presentation.
C
Good
evening,
allison
williams
planner
one
with
the
city's
planning
division.
The
applicant
is
requesting
a
small-scale
future
land
use
amendment
to
change
the
future
land
use
designation
from
county
rural
to
city,
low
density,
residential,
the
subject:
property
is
located,
1879
boy
scout
road.
The
property
was
annexed
to
the
city
on
january
20th
2021.
C
D
On
the
the
document
we
received,
that
talked
about
the
project
and
at
the
bottom
it
says
existing
and
proposed.
D
D
Yeah,
okay,
it
might
be
a
typo
or
maybe
I
just
don't
know
well
where
it
says
proposed.
It
says:
47
eu
slash
ac,
but
isn't
it
should
that
be
47
du
slash,
108c
for
10
acres.
E
E
D
E
We'll
get
that
corrected
for
city
council.
A
Okay,
does
the
petitioner
have
a
presentation.
A
And
seeing
none
we'll
close
the
presentations
and
open
sure?
D
All
right
in
reading
about
the
additional
comments
it
talks
about
the
applicant
who's
going
to
develop
the
property
that
we're
talking
about.
It
also
says
in
the
surrounding
properties
located
on
the
northern
and
southern
sides
of
boy
scout
road.
Now,
just
just
I'm
just
thinking
future.
Does
that
mean
that
quite
possibly
that
on
both
sides
of
the
road,
it
might
be
development
of
homes?
E
E
E
F
D
F
Erica
hughes,
vhb
225
east
robinson
orlando
florida
3-2-8-0-1.
I
just
wanted
to
come
up
to
explain
like
the
process
that
we're
going
through.
I
don't
know
if
we
can
go
back
to
the
map
right
now.
F
F
So
right
now
going
through
the
process,
we
annex
and
we're
bringing
the
future
land
use
up
to
city
code
based
on
the
jpa
in
the
surrounding
area,
for
the
low
density
and
then
part
of
this
rezoning.
We
will
be
including
it
in
overall
pd
and
during
that
process
that
we
are
going
through
with
the
city
right
now
we
are
doing
a
traffic
study
to
look
at
the
improvements
needed
in
the
surrounding
area,
based
on
the
impacts
from
our
proposed
development.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Then
we
will
close
the
presentations
and
open
the
public
hearing.
Anyone
wish
to
appear
before
the
commission
on
this
item
and
seeing
none
we'll
close
the
public
hearing
and
bring
it
back
to
the
commission.
What's
your
pleasure.
D
Mr
chairman,
I
make
a
motion
to

use
amendment
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan
and
compatible

the
character

the
surrounding

and
recommend

A
A

h
of
the
future
land
use
element
of
which
25
units
per
acre,
could
potentially
be
assigned
to
a
property.
So
this
is
one
of
the
four
zones.
That's
in
the
comprehensive
plan
that
allows
that
a
concept
plan
was
submitted
as
a
point
of
discussion
by
the
applicant
to
just
kind
of
give
an
idea
as
to
what
they're
going
to
propose
on
the
property.
H
A
A
Okay.
Our
next
item
is
a
request

We

I
I
The

is
owned,
mixed-use
east
shore
gateway
and
an
application
for
cc.
Community
commercial
zoning
has
been
submitted
and
will
be
presented
at
the
next
agenda
item
the
property
or
the
subject.
Property
is
approximately
2.93
acres
with
commercially
zoned
or
commercially
oriented
properties
being
in
the
vicinity.
I
I
The
development
review

the
small
scale
feature
lanes,
amendment

and
the

subject

the
findings
of

staff
report.
This
concludes
my
presentation.
The
applicant
is
available
tonight
and
I
do
believe
he
has
a
presentation
as
well.
D
Phil
phil
the
I
have
five
questions.
A
D
They're
light,
though,
don't
don't
sweat
it
all
right.
So
one
thing
I've
always
been
curious
about,
and
it
might
really
have
nothing
to
do
with
this
project.
But
I
see
harman
road
east
somewhere
near
this
project.
D
I
There
is
a
harman
road
to
the
east
next
to
the
emerson,
north
town
homes
or
what
is
now
being
called
the
crossing
at
emerson
park,
town
homes,
and
there
have
been
propositions
to
connect
the
two
segments
going.
I
mean
in
a
very
conceptual
way,
going
southwest
and
then
later
connecting
on
to
the
intersection
of
harmony.
E
E
D
E
E
Already
been
absorbed,
it's
it's
not
actually
a
road
or
is
it
the
access
point
anymore.
D
All
right
and
regarding
the
project,
where
is
the
access
to
this
project
off
of
cooley
road?
I'm
looking
at
the
map,
but
I
have
a
little
difficulty.
You
can
point
out
with
your
pointer
right.
There.
I
So
koipapka
road
is
going
southwest
northeast
and
then
the
access
driveway
is
proposed
and
about
the
west
central
side
of
the
parcel.
Okay.
I
D
E
D
Okay,
does
that
include
a
question
about
it?
Will
there
be
a
sufficient
parking.
A
D
J
E
It
does
this,
it
probably
won't
change
too
much,
there's
always
a
little
bit
of
shuffling
of
the
buildings
to
make
sure
the
setbacks,
because.
A
Okay,
thanks
phil
and
then
we'll
go
to
the
petitioner
to
your
presentation
and.
K
Thank
you
very
much.
My
name
is
jeremy
anderson,
I'm
with
common
oak
engineering,
we're
at
1209
edgewater
drive
in
orlando,
I'm
a
professional
engineer
and
an
engineer
on
the
project,
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
I've
got
just
a
short
presentation
to
walk
through.
I
can
address
some
of
the
questions
that
you
had
on
the
conceptual
plan.
K
I
totally
we
fully
understand
and
clearly
understand
that
you
know
the
conceptual
plan
is
not
a
part
of
the
rezoning
application
necessarily,
but
we
do
like
to
share
what
our
intended
plan
is,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
I
have
been
released
to
proceed
with
construction
documents
on
that
plan.
So
that
is
definitely
the
path
that
we're
moving
forward
with
at
this
time.
K
Okay,
yeah,
I
can
yeah
again,
the
project
is
located
at
1537
harmon
road,
it's
approximately
2.93
acres
in
size,
it's
somewhat
directly
across
the
street,
from
from
the
advent
health
apopka
hospital
and
with
the
approval
of
this
request,
the
applicant
is,
is
proposing
to
submit
construction
drawings
consistent
with
with
this
request.
K
Currently,
we
have
approximately
22
000
square
feet
of
office,
medical
office,
buildings
proposed
roughly
2
000
square
feet
of
restaurant,
with
the
drive-through
and
around
900
and
some
odd
feet
of
retail
space
proposed,
so
a
total
of
approximately
24
990
square
feet.
Of
course,
driveway
access
is
proposed
off
of
the
ocoee
apopka
road.
K
Sanitary
sewer
and
water
service
is
available
to
the
property.
However,
both
will
require
an
extension.
The
force
main
stops
at
the
lift
station.
In
front
of
the
hospital
so
we'll
be
doing
an
extension
to
that
force
main
and
again
we're
doing
a
water
main
extension
as
well.
So
there's
some
good
public
improvements
associated
with
the
project.
K
I
like
this
play,
we
wanted
to
throw
this
in
here
this
aerial,
because
you
can
picture
you
can
see,
really
see
the
proximity
of
the
project
to
the
hospital.
I
also
we've
talked
a
little
bit
about
how
the
harman
road
and
the
plant
extension.
K
You
know.
I
understand
that
it's
kind
of
preliminary
in
nature.
At
this
time,
however,
I
did
include
a
slide
with
that
extension
shown
and
you
can
see
where
our
property
is
in
relation
to
to
that
extension,
we're
just
to
the
north
of
the
pond
and
the
what
might
be
a
new
fire
station.
So
so
that's
that's
where
we
are
in
related
to
what
what
could
become
of
that
extension,
so
we
feel
like
we'll,
be
safe
from
a
fire
perspective.
If
that
happens,
this
is
once
again
the
conceptual
plan.
K
In
addition
to
the
public
improvements
in
the
turn
lanes.
There
are
some
other
challenges
with
the
site:
there's
over
20
feet
of
grade
differential
between
measured
from
the
south
property
line
to
the
north
property
line.
We've
been
working
with
our
geotechnical
engineer
and,
of
course,
myself
to
mitigate
that
that
slope
and
and
we've
developed
a
plan
that
works.
So
it's
a
real
challenge
for
the
site.
It
makes
it
really
difficult
to
develop,
but
we've
found
some
solutions
to
to
that
challenge.
K
Another
big
challenge
with
this
site
is
related
to
the
existing
zoning
category.
The
mixed
uc
skate
short
gateway
district,
and
that
is
that
it's
it's
a
designation
for
a
real
high
intensity
and
in
fact,
that
intensity
requires
a
minimum
of
0.25
florida
area
ratio
which
we
have
not.
We
can't
meet.
So
that
is
really
the
biggest
reason.
Why
we're
here
today
for
the
change
in
zoning
request,
as
well
as
the
small
scale
land
use
amendment.
K
These
are
some
the
land
use,
charts
that
I
guess,
if
you
look
to
the
bottom
right
hand,
corner
of
these
charts,
you
can
see
that
the
mixed-use
is
a
minimum
of
0.25
far,
whereas
the
community
commercial
is
a
0.25.
K
K
Part
of
the
staff
report
is
a
discussion
on
the
consistency
of
the
comprehensive
plan,
and
it
says
in
there
that
the
proposed
community
commercial
zoning
is
consistent
with
the
proposed
future
laney's
designation
of
commercial,
and
it's
also
consistent
with
the
character
of
the
surrounding
area
and
so
there's
a
recommendation
for
staff
for
the
approval
of
this
request,
and
we
are
here
to
ask
for
your
approval
as
well
and
here,
if
we,
if
you
have
any
questions,
so
thank
you
so
much
for
the
time
today.
Okay,.
K
That's
a
great
question
in
order
to
try
to
increase
the
the
density
of
the
buildings
as
much
as
possible,
we're
going
underground
with
all
the
whole
storm
water
system.
K
A
L
I
move
that
we
find
the
proposed
future
land
use
amendment
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan
and
compatible
with
the
character
of
the
surrounding
area
and
recommend
approval
of
the
change
of
future
land
use.

Good
evening,
chairman
and
planning
commissioners,
nicole
kennedy,
sustainability
coordinator
with
the
city
of
apopka,
we
are
currently
the
city
is
currently
reviewing
options
to
purchase
ymca
camp
weewa
on
217
and
221
south
benion
road
kent
weewa
has
been
apopka
since
1947,
and
the
city
would
like
to
preserve
it.
As
a
recreational
center
they've
had
some
financial
struggles
due
to
covenanting.
M
E
There
is
no
sound
to
this,
but
it's
just
good
video.
D
M
E
There's
quite
a
few
different
buildings
and
what
we're
looking
at
doing
is,
instead
of
necessarily
doing
overnighters,
it
would
probably
be
day
camp
type
operations,
crafts
quite
a
few
different
options.
E
My
son,
actually,
actually
my
son
and
daughter
both
both
did
this.
So
it's
kind
of
near
here.
There
were
a
lot
there's
been
a
lot
of
different
companies
throughout
central
florida,
but
primarily
here
in
apopka,
also
that
have
actually
done
a
lot
of
investment
in.
C
D
D
E
E
E
This
is
a
big
attractor
here
for
at
least
30
years
that
I've
been
here.
E
The
city
has
always
wanted
to
be
able
to
get
a
pool
because,
instead
of
sending
our
swimmers
over
to
lake
brantley,
we
get
actually
trained
here.
D
E
Also
has
a
pretty
big
diving
well,
and
I
think
it
was
a
10
meter
board
that
you
can
jump
off
of,
but
anyway
it's
got
to
clean
it
up
a
little
bit,
but
it'll
be
a
good
addition.
Yeah.
M
Okay,
all
right
I'll
I'll
keep
talking,
while
the
video
is
playing.
C
M
If
you
haven't
heard
from
the
the
city
is
currently
applying
for
a
1
million
dollar
grant,
with
the
land
water
conservation
fund
program
at
the
florida
department
of
environmental
protection
to
help
acquire
the
property
insist
when
needed
with
needed
renovations
on
the
property,
including
adding
ada
parking
spaces,
a
chairlift
for
pull
access
and
rebuilding
the
basketball
courts.
Those
are
just
some
examples.
M
One
of
the
requirements
of
the
grant
for
our
proposed
project
is
to
put
this
as
an
item
of
discussion
on
a
planning
or
advisory
board.
So
this
item
is
specifically
just
for
sole
information
purposes,
so
this
satisfies
this
requirement,
so
you
won't
be
voting
on
this
tonight
and
given
camp
wewa's,
close
proximity
to
the
west
orange
trail
in
apopka
wildlife
drive.
The
city
is
also
going
to
look
into
pursuing
having
a
potential
connectivity
to
the
trail
system
and
wildlife
drive.
That
concludes
my
presentation.
I'm
available
for
any
questions.
A
It
is
an
interesting
video.
I've.
I've
seen
a
lot
of
comments
recently,
virtually
everyone
wanting
to
retain
camp
lewa,
but
I
haven't
seen
the
facility.
So
that's
that's
nice.
E
Just
just
I
guess
it
was
the
last
week
friday
this
was
put
out
on
facebook
or
twitter.
I
don't
know
what
it
was.
E
Apparently,
there
was
just
a
slew
of
comments
about
preserve
it,
preserve
and
observe
it
there's
so
much
passion
with
camp
wewa
and
and
what
it's
been
able
to
do
for
apopka
and,
of
course,
the
y
right.
E
But
it's
it's
it's
an
opportunity
that
you
typically
don't
get
and
we
do
have
enough
monies
coming
into
the
into
the
city
through
some
property
sales
that
I'm
working
on
the
grant
itself
and
anyway,
it's
a
it's
a
phenomenal
opportunity
for
us
to
to
kind
of
continue
the
legacy.
Yes
very.
L
L
I
went
on
and
I
did
the
survey
and
I
said
this
is
amazing.
This
is
absolutely
amazing.
It
is
unique
and
we
should
attract
a
lot
of
people
in
the
area
and
outside
the
area
as
a
place.
A
respite
place,
you
know,
come
like
a
retreat.
If
you
will
hold
your
meetings
here,
go
for
a
ride
on
the
lake,
get
a
canoe.
