Seminole County planning board recommends preliminary approval for Reagan Center subdivision plan
Summary
On Jan. 8 the Seminole County Planning and Zoning Committee recommended approval of a preliminary subdivision plan for the Reagan Center PD, a mixed-use project proposing six commercial lots on about 110 acres that could allow up to 1,003 units; the recommendation will go to the Board of County Commissioners.
On Jan. 8, 2025, the Seminole County Planning and Zoning Committee recommended approval of a preliminary subdivision plan for the Reagan Center planned development, a mixed-use proposal for roughly 110 acres east of U.S. Highway 1792, about 550 feet north of County Home Road.
Joy Giles, principal planner for the county’s Planning and Development Division, told the committee the plan would create six commercial lots and would permit professional and medical offices, commercial space, multifamily housing and a senior-living continuum including assisted-living and independent-living facilities. "The subdivision plan complies with all conditions of the Reagan Center PD master development plan and development order and the Seminole County Land Development Code," Giles said, and staff asked the board to recommend approval.
The Reagan Center PD sets a maximum floor-area ratio of 0.95 and a maximum density of 25 dwelling units per net buildable acre; Giles noted the PD allows a total of 1,003 units. Seminole County will provide water and sewer service for the development, and Giles said the developer will be required to enter a utility agreement for the design and construction of system capacity improvements at the time of site-plan review for each phase.
There were no public comments on the item, and board members asked no substantive questions before a motion to recommend approval was made and seconded. The committee approved the recommendation by voice vote; the chair announced, "The ayes have it." Because public-hearing items acted on by the Planning and Zoning Committee are referred to the Board of County Commissioners, the recommendation will be forwarded to that board for further consideration.
At the meeting the committee also handled routine business, heard a brief director’s report and elected officers for 2025. Development Services Director Jose Gomez introduced himself to the committee and noted two open staff positions in the Planning and Development Division.
