Apopka Planning Commission Meeting · 2026-04-14 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed change to the future land use designation for land within the Apopka Community Redevelopment Area (CRA). The applicant believes the proposed change is compatible with surrounding uses and appropriate for the zoning district. City staff has no objection, noting that the Comprehensive Plan supports Mixed-Use designations within the CRA to encourage innovative development and sustainable practices. This proposal is currently under review by the Planning Commission. If approved, this could lead to site preparation, grading, utility work, construction of new buildings, and landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's scope and potential needs before formal bidding processes begin.
