Commission approves two site plans: industrial addition and adaptive reuse of old packing plant
Summary
The commission approved a 10,053-square-foot addition at 721 Garden Commerce Parkway and a site plan to renovate the old packing plant at 1061–1065 Tildenville School Road into mixed neighborhood uses, with staff conditions on both approvals.
The Winter Garden City Commission approved two site plans after staff presentations and brief questions.
For 721 Garden Commerce Parkway, staff said the applicant seeks a single-story 10,053-square-foot addition to an existing 6,204-square-foot industrial building; the proposed site plan, p I D zoning (PCD), and code consistency were affirmed and staff recommended approval with conditions. The commission moved, seconded and approved the site plan.
For the former packing plant (properties listed as 1061, 1063 and 1065 Tildenville School Road), staff proposed maintaining and repurposing many existing historic industrial structures for neighborhood-oriented uses (retail, food), adding sidewalks, accommodating golf-cart and bike facilities, reconfiguring parking and installing landscape areas. Staff said the PCD zoning and approved uses would not change. The commission approved the site plan with staff conditions.
Why it matters: the approvals allow an industrial-property expansion and a neighborhood-oriented redevelopment project to proceed under city review, and the packing-plant plan emphasizes preservation and adaptive reuse while adding pedestrian and bike amenities.
Next steps: applicants will work with staff to satisfy conditions of approval and move toward permitting and construction.
