The Development Review Committee on Sept. 3 reviewed four special‑event requests at the Apopka Community Center, parks and regional facilities; staff recorded no departmental objections on the meeting record.

Staff described the Apopka Altamonte Springs VFW "tribute to the Eagles," a fundraising dinner and show scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 18 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Apopka Community Center. "They're expecting about 275 people," staff said. The presentation noted the event will include alcohol and that the off‑duty police coordinator had approved the required detail. Parking was listed as the community center lot and Fifth Street.

The Beyond Pregnancy Center "Walk for Life — Compassion in Motion" is also scheduled for Oct. 18, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. The walk will start at the Apopka Community Center and use sidewalks and crosswalks down South Central Avenue, cross Main Street and Park Avenue, proceed to Kittlein at First Street, and return over the Orange Blossom Pedestrian Bridge. Staff said Orange County has approved use of the bridge; staff estimated about 100 participants and noted a packet map shows the exact setup of a table and tent in the community center parking lot.

Reyes Fitness presented a returning Turkey Trot at Northwest on Saturday, Nov. 22, from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. It is a 12K run, with setup at the loading dock near the amphitheater; staff said they expect about 50 people, no alcohol, and parking at Gate 4. Volunteers will assist runners across vehicle areas.

Reimagine Communities requested a small children’s event, the Jingle Bell Book Bash, on Thursday, Dec. 11 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Kittlein Nelson Park. Staff estimated roughly 75 attendees and described minimal setup with tables for activities and parking at Edwards Field.

Across all four items, community development staff, police, public works, fire and building department representatives recorded no comments or objections on the transcript. The transcript does not record a formal vote or permit issuance; the record shows staff presentation and noted approvals (for example, the off‑duty police detail and Orange County permission for the pedestrian bridge) that the applicants already obtained or coordinated.

No public commenters raised objections during the recorded items; staff closed the special‑events portion after each presentation and departmental check‑ins.
