Planning Commission recommends rezoning for Plymouth Harbor lots to slightly smaller single‑family lots
Loading...
Summary
The Apopka Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of Ordinance No. 3091 to change two parcels in the Palmas Harbor subdivision from RSF‑1A to RSF‑1B, a staff‑led request to reduce minimum lot area for about 9.51 acres of single‑family property.
The City of Apopka Planning and Zoning Commission on Jan. 14 recommended approval of Ordinance No. 3091 to rezone two parcels in the Palmas Harbor subdivision, moving them from RSF‑1A (Residential Single Family Estate) to RSF‑1B (Residential Single Family — large lot).
Jun Son, planner at the Community Development Department, told commissioners that “the applicant has requested the rezoning of the properties located at 2,260 Plymouth Sorrento Road and 2244 Sorrento Avenue from RSF 1A to RSF 1B.” He said the combined parcels total 9.51 acres and carry a residential low‑suburban future land use that allows 3.5 dwelling units per acre.
The rezoning request is intended to reduce the minimum required lot area on the two parcels. Son said the Development Review Committee recommended approval, and staff’s recommended motion asked the commission to find the change consistent with the comprehensive plan and the land development code and compatible with the surrounding area.
After no members of the public spoke, Commissioner Washington moved to recommend approval, a motion seconded by Commissioner Mott. The motion carried with a voice vote.
Why it matters: The rezoning adjusts lot‑size standards for the two specific parcels within Palmas Harbor. That change affects how those lots can be subdivided or developed under city zoning rules and aligns the parcels’ zoning designation with the applicant’s development intent.
Details and next steps: The recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for final action. Staff and the applicant indicated they are available to answer questions during subsequent review stages, and no ex parte communications were reported at the hearing.
