DRC reviews annexation proposal for 9.63-acre Rock Springs Road parcel
Summary
Applicant seeks annexation of a 9.63-acre vacant parcel at 2501 Rock Springs Road for roughly 20 single-family units; DRC confirmed a two-unit-per-acre cap tied to Wekiva limits and had no immediate departmental objections.
The City of Apopka Development Review Committee on Jan. 15 reviewed an annexation request for property at 2501 Rock Springs Road that the applicant proposes to develop with single-family homes.
June Son, the project manager, told the committee the parcel is 9.63 acres and currently vacant; county designation is rural acreage and the applicant indicated a proposed residential development of about 20 single-family units. Committee members noted surrounding land uses include office, a school and residential neighborhoods.
A DRC member clarified that higher densities would not be allowed in that area; June Son confirmed the maximum density the site could receive would be two dwelling units per acre and noted that part of the parcel lies in the Wekiva basin, which constrains density. No departmental reviewer on the record (police, fire, building) raised objections during the meeting and the item proceeded as an annexation submittal under the usual review process.
No motion or formal DRC approval was recorded in the Jan. 15 discussion; the item remains at the annexation review stage pending follow-up with staff and any required submittals.
