A. Reorganization and Modernization of Existing FLUE Policies. The amendment refines the internal structure

Apopka City Commission Meeting · 2026-04-15 · agenda_item

The City of Apopka is planning to reorganize and modernize its existing FLUE policies. This amendment will refine the internal structure of the FLUE without reducing current environmental or planning protections. Specifically, policies related to the Wekiva Study Area, including BMPs, conservation subdivision standards, nitrate/nitrogen reduction, and FLUM amendment criteria, will be consolidated into new objectives. Similarly, policies for the Wekiva River Protection Area, such as statutory setbacks and locating higher density uses away from waterways, will be moved to a new objective. This item is currently under review by the Apopka City Commission. The project involves updating policy documents and internal procedures, which may lead to future needs for consulting services related to environmental planning, land use, and legal review. Businesses specializing in policy analysis, environmental consulting, and legal services may find opportunities as these changes are implemented.
