Auburndale approves first readings to reclassify Gapway parcel for Lakes District residential development
Summary
The commission approved on first reading Ordinances 1841 and 1842 to reclassify a ~0.06-acre Gapway Road parcel to Lakes District Mixed Use and Estate Residential zoning; the Planning Commission had recommended approval and the ordinances will return for final reading Dec. 1.
Community Development Director Julie Womble presented a proposal to change the future land use and zoning for a small parcel on Gapway Road, saying the requested Future Land Use and Zoning Districts "are compatible with the residential land uses adjacent to the site." Womble said the classification would allow larger one‑acre lots and encourage larger home construction within the Lakes District.
Womble said the Planning Commission recommended approval (4‑0 on Nov. 4). City Attorney Frederick J. Murphy Jr. read Ordinance No. 1841 (amending the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map) and Ordinance No. 1842 (amending the Official Zoning Map) by title. Commissioners moved and seconded approval of both ordinances on first reading and the motions passed with "all ayes." Both ordinances will be presented for second and final reading on Dec. 1, 2025.
Womble said staff and the Planning Commission found the amendments consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, the Land Development Regulations and the Lakes District Master Planned Community Overlay.
