Applicant Camila Neira is\u00a0seeking\u00a0to change the property\u2019s future land-use designation from Residential Very Low Suburban to Office and rezone the site from RSF-1A (Residential Single-Family Estate) to Office. Richard Chandler\u00a0owns the property.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to\u00a0a staff report in the agenda packet,\u00a0a special exception for a\u00a0childcare\u00a0facility was approved in July 2025. However, after the applicant\u00a0submitted\u00a0plans for a facility serving up to 275 students, staff determined the project would be subject to city code provisions limiting\u00a0enrollment in residential zoning districts. Under the current land-use designation, the site would be limited to approximately 29 students. Staff reports\u00a0state\u00a0the proposed land-use and zoning changes would remove that restriction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Commissioners will also review a major development plan for a 13.23-acre commercial\u00a0portion\u00a0of The Ridge planned development at the southeast corner of Binion Road and Boy Scout Road. The proposal includes a food market, gas station and office\/warehouse uses. The item is separate from the\u00a0363-unit apartment community proposed elsewhere<\/a>\u00a0within The Ridge development that the Development Review Committee reviewed\u00a0Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n Another site plan review involves a proposed 137-room hotel within the Floridian Town\u00a0Center\u00a0planned development. The project is the same hotel proposal\u00a0previously presented to the Development Review Committee<\/a>\u00a0as a Marriott-branded development.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Planning Commission\u2019s recommendations on the Chandler Road requests will be\u00a0forwarded\u00a0to the City Commission, where first reading is scheduled for July\u00a01\u00a0and\u00a0second reading and adoption are scheduled for July 15.\u00a0<\/p>\n Teresa Sargeant has been with The Apopka Chief for over 10 years.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/6.png\")
