The Planning Advisory Board of the City of Kissimmee held a public hearing on July 15, 2026, for Proposed Ordinance #26-16, a zoning map amendment from Multiple Family Medium Density Residential (RC-2) to Residential Planned Unit Development (RPUD) for a parcel on Fortune Rd. The applicant's agent, John Ryan Adams with RJWA, Inc., spoke on behalf of the applicant. The board discussed concerns regarding the PUD's impact on the surrounding area. Board Member Thomas Kapp made a motion to approve, seconded by Board Member Raymond Sanchez. The motion passed 5-1, with Board Member Lynda Roth voting nay. The property has one existing agricultural building proposed to be demolished. The parcel was previously rezoned in 2006 from Agricultural (AC) to Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development (MUPUD), in 2022 to Multiple Family Medium Density Residential (RC-1), and in 2025 to RC-2. The RPUD does not change the density or number of residential units allowed; it provides flexibility in development standards, including preserving the Bass Slough corridor, allowing sidewalks within open space tracts, changing minimum open space width, allowing amenities on waterways, stormwater and dry retention features, and alternatives for trail widths. Primary uses are multifamily residential, town homes, condos, assisted and independent living facilities. Staff recommended approval. The meeting was held at City Hall, Commission Chambers, 101 Church Street, Kissimmee, Florida. The case number is PUD-26-0003.
