    After transmittal, we will receive either comments or no comments from the State.  The request will then be scheduled for a Planning and Zoning Commission adoption public hearing along with the rezoning PD / Land Use Plan and then a Board of County Commissioner adoption hearing.

    As part of the rezoning application, the applicant submitted a traffic analysis in support of their request to rezone approximately 14.06 acres from the C-2 and R-2 zoning districts to a Planned Development (PD) district, along with a Future Land Use amendment from Commercial and Low-Medium Density Residential (LMDR) to Medium-High Density Residential (MHDR). Based on the submitted rezoning traffic study, the analysis concluded that the proposed change would not result in an increase in overall traffic.

    Please note, however, that this study was prepared specifically for the rezoning request. At the time the applicant submits their formal development plans for the proposed 322 residential units, they will be required to provide a more detailed traffic study to further evaluate the specific transportation impacts of the project. That study will be reviewed as part of the development review process.

    Once submitted, the traffic study becomes part of the public record. If you have additional questions relating to traffic studies, please feel free to contact Azza Alisawi at azza.alisawi@ocfl.net or 407-836-8076.

    Based on the plans submitted to date, a portion of the proposed stormwater pond is located within the existing FEMA floodplain (Zone AE), while the remainder of the site is outside the mapped floodplain (Zone X).

    If fill is proposed within the floodplain, Stormwater Management is responsible for reviewing potential impacts to the FEMA-designated floodplain, and a detailed floodplain impact analysis must be provided, including supporting calculations and cross sections. If modifications to the FEMA-mapped floodplain are necessary, FEMA approval through a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR), followed by a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), would be required prior to project completion.

    Beyond floodplain review, the project is subject to the County’s broader development review process under Development Engineering. As part of that review, the applicant must demonstrate that the project will not cause adverse flood impacts to adjacent properties. 

    Please reach out to the project manager, Mike Rosso at michael.rosso@ocfl.net or 407-836-5616 if you have additional questions about any of these processes. He will be able to route your inquiries to the appropriate staff members.

    The BCC transmittal hearing for the proposed future land use map (FLUM) Amendment, Amendment 2026-1-A-4-1, is scheduled for Tuesday, March 10.  It is on the afternoon agenda and will be heard no earlier than 2:00 p.m.  If the Board votes to transmit the proposed amendment to the State, it will be heard concurrently with the requested PD rezoning, LUP-25-10-261 (East Colonial Multifamily PD/LUP), during the adoption public hearing stage.

    The associated rezoning and land use plan (LUP), LUP-25-10-261, is still undergoing rounds of review by Orange County staff and has not yet been scheduled for a Development Review Committee Hearing. 


    If you have additional questions about either of these processes, please reach out to the case planner, Jennifer Dubois at jennifer.dubois@ocfl.net or 407-836-5396; or the project manager, Mike Rosso at michael.rosso@ocfl.net or 407-836-5616.
