5240 N. Powers Drive Rezoning Request for Consistency to Existing Low Density Residential Future Land Use

Case #: RZ-26-04-025

This is a community meeting to discuss a proposal to rezone from A-1 (Citrus Rural District) to R-1A (Single-Family Dwelling District) in order for consistency with the Future Land Use designation of Low Density Residential (LDR) to allow for R-1A uses which include single-family detached residential homes and places of worship as a special exception.

The property is located in District 2 at 5240 N. Powers Dr.; generally located west of N. Powers Dr., south of Clarcona Ocoee Rd., east of N. Hiawassee Rd., north of Fox Briar Trl.

The community meeting is 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 28, 2026, in the Media Center at Pine Hills Elementary School, 1006 Ferndell Rd., Orlando, FL 32808.

Next Steps:

1. Following the community meeting, the request will be scheduled for a Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) Hearing, at which time a notice will be mailed to nearby property owners. The item will also appear on the PZC agenda which can be accessed through the County Calendar. The PZC meets typically every 3^rd Thursday of the month at 9:00 a.m. at 201 S. Rosalind Avenue, Downtown Orlando.
2. Following the PZC hearing, the case will go to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) in a Recommendation Book as a “consent item” for Board consideration. If the case is pulled from the Recommendation Book by a Commissioner or if the PZC decision is appealed, a separate public hearing before the BCC will be scheduled (typically 1 to 2 months after) and a notice will be mailed to nearby property owners.
