849 N Thompson Road Rezoning Request for 12 Homes

Case #: RZ-26-01-035

This is a community meeting to discuss a proposal to rezone from R-1A Restricted (Single-Family Dwelling District) to R-1A (Single-Family Dwelling District) to remove the existing 10-lot restriction in order to allow for 12 single-family residential lots. The applicant is requesting a variance for a 62.5-foot lot width in lieu of 75 feet and a minimum lot size of 6,749 square feet in lieu of 7,500 square feet.

The property is located in District 2 at 849 N. Thompson Rd; generally located on the east side of N Thompson Road, approximately 460 feet north of E. Sandpiper Street, south of E. Welch Rd, and north of E. Votaw Road.

The community meeting is 6 p.m. Thursday, January 8, 2026, in the media center at Clay Springs Elementary School, 555 N. Wekiwa Springs Rd, Apopka, FL 32712

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.
