Auburndale commission approves budget amendment, moves Gapway property toward city zoning
Summary
The Auburndale City Commission approved Ordinance 1840 (first reading) to amend the FY 2024–25 budget and approved on first reading ordinances 1841 and 1842 to change future land use and zoning for a Gapway Road parcel; all measures passed unanimously on first reading.
The City of Auburndale’s City Commission approved a first‑reading amendment to the Fiscal Year 2024–2025 budget and advanced land‑use and zoning map amendments for a Gapway Road parcel at its Nov. 17 meeting.
Finance Director Christopher Reeder told the commission that Ordinance 1840 would amend appropriations to reflect unanticipated revenue and expenditures and conform to auditing recommendations. City Attorney Frederick J. Murphy Jr. read the ordinance by title; the commission approved it on first reading with a unanimous vote. Interim City Manager Amy Palmer told commissioners that many of the adjustments reflected delayed spending.
Community Development Director Julie Womble presented a request to reclassify a roughly 0.06‑acre parcel on Gapway Road from Polk County Residential Suburban to the City of Auburndale Lakes District Mixed Use future land use, and to change its zoning to Estate Residential. Womble said the Planning Commission recommended approval and staff supported the change. The commission approved Ordinance 1841 (future land use map amendment) and Ordinance 1842 (official zoning map amendment) on first reading by unanimous votes; both will return for second and final readings on Dec. 1, 2025.
The commission took no public comment on the measures and acted on the ordinances as read by title. Approval on first reading moves both ordinances to a second reading and final vote at the Dec. 1 meeting.
