Station Street development dispute, stormwater grant highlight Apopka City Commission agenda

Posted

The commission is scheduled to meet at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 3, at Apopka City Hall. Among the most notable items are a proposed notice of default involving the Station Street Development Agreement, a $195,000 state grant for stormwater planning, revisions to the city's property maintenance code, and a commercial annexation request along Kelly Park Road.

One of the most anticipated discussions will involve the Station Street Development Agreement. The item is listed as a business action item and will be presented by Interim City Administrator Radley Williams. While the agenda itself provides few details, the notice of default suggests the city may be addressing compliance issues tied to a previously approved development agreement.

The commission is also expected to approve a $195,000 grant agreement from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to fund a Comprehensive Stormwater Adaptation Plan. According to city documents, the plan will evaluate climate-related risks, identify vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure, and develop strategies to improve resilience, with particular emphasis on the city's stormwater system. The grant requires no local funding match and complements a separate $400,000 FEMA-funded stormwater master plan effort already underway.
Commissioners will also consider Ordinance No. 3162, which would amend portions of the city's Property Maintenance Code and revise the fee schedule associated with code enforcement violations. The ordinance is scheduled for first reading and is intended to update Chapter 18 of the city code.

Another public hearing item involves a proposed annexation of approximately 1.16 acres east of Effie Drive and north of Kelly Park Road. The property, currently vacant and designated Rural with A-1 zoning in Orange County, would be brought into the city limits if approved. The applicant is Luke Classon on behalf of Effie Road Holdings LLC.

The commission will also consider Resolution No. 2026-27, which would amend the city's current fiscal year budget. Finance Director Blanche Sherman is scheduled to present the item.

Additional consent agenda items include agreements involving the Apopka Police Department, authorization of a piggyback contract with Pro Energy LLC, and the disposal of surplus city property.

The meeting begins at 1:30 p.m. in the City Hall Commission Chambers and will be livestreamed on the city's YouTube channel.
