Planning commission approves Howell Branch preliminary subdivision for 15 lots
Summary
On Feb. 5, 2025, the Seminole County Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of a preliminary subdivision plan for 15 single‑family lots on 4.34 acres east of Howell Branch Road; the matter will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners for final consideration.
The Seminole County Planning and Zoning Commission voted Feb. 5, 2025, to recommend approval of a preliminary subdivision plan for the Howell Branch subdivision, a 4.34‑acre project proposing 15 single‑family lots on the east side of Howell Branch Road.
Planning staff told the commission the property was rezoned to R‑1BB on Aug. 22, 2023, and the county’s future land‑use designation is medium‑density residential (up to 10 dwelling units per net buildable acre). The proposed subdivision would have about four dwelling units per net buildable acre; minimum lot sizes are 5,000 square feet and minimum lot widths at the building line are 50 feet. Internal roads will be private and maintained by a homeowners association; utilities will be provided by Seminole County.
Caitlin Apgar, with Planning and Development Services, presented the staff report and requested the commission recommend approval. After asking whether there were public comments, a commission member moved to approve the preliminary subdivision plan; the motion was seconded and carried with all members voting in favor.
The commission’s action is a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners; public hearing items acted on by this board are referred to the Board of County Commissioners for further consideration.
The staff report and the subdivision application remain the official source for specific lot layouts, covenants, and engineering requirements. Final engineering review, platting and any required permits will proceed as the application moves through county review and the Board of County Commissioners.
