2. Off-site or Near-site Improvements

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

The City of Apopka is reviewing requirements for off-site and near-site road improvements. These improvements are intended to maintain established Level of Service (LOS) standards and satisfy concurrency requirements through impact fees. A left turn lane may be required for developments unless waived by the City Council. A right-turn lane will be needed at driveways if the speed limit is 35 mph or higher, or if the development creates 100 or more right-turn movements during peak hours, or if the City Engineer requires it, unless waived. The City Engineer may also require increased storage and transition queue lengths for driveways if peak hour entering volume exceeds 150 vehicles. This item is currently under review by the Apopka Planning Commission. The work could involve traffic studies, design, and construction of turn lanes, storage areas, and potentially other road modifications. Contractors specializing in civil engineering, site preparation, grading, paving, and traffic control could find opportunities as these requirements are finalized and applied to future developments.
