Summary
The commission voted unanimously to annex a 0.36-acre lot at 283 Tenth Avenue from Orange County into the City of Ocoee and to rezone it from county residential to city R1 single-family; the annexation and rezoning were supported by staff and planning commissions.
The City Commission unanimously approved the annexation and rezoning of property at 283 Tenth Avenue (the Cox property) during its May meeting.
Staff presentation said the property is about 0.36 acres and eligible for annexation because it is adjacent to city limits, can be served by city water, reduces enclave areas, and is consistent with the joint planning-area future land-use designation of low-density residential. Planning and zoning and the development-review committee recommended approval.
Commissioners opened a public hearing; no members of the public spoke on the item. The commission first adopted the annexation ordinance and then the rezoning ordinance changing classification from Orange County R2 to City of Ocoee R1. The transcript records each measure—9s ordinance language being read into the record and commissioners voting to approve both measures unanimously with Commissioner Kennedy absent.
The city will direct the clerk to update official maps and the zoning map following the effective dates specified in the ordinances.
