The property’s current entitlements, as shown below, offer a variety of development scenarios for the property.
- Future Land Use Mixed Use – Employment Center (EC)
- Zoning Mixed Use – Employment Center (EC)
- Density 15 dwelling units per acre
- FAR 0.25 to 1.0 (non-residential)
- Can Be all Residential does not require Commercial but Commercial is an option to include.
The Mixed Use – Employment Center (EC) prescribes design guidelines and standards for building placement, building height, setbacks, buffers, and ratios of uses for mixed-use developments.
The densities and intensities above would yield between 470,121 square feet and 1,880,485 square feet of non-residential space and a maximum of 647 dwelling units for the entire 43.17-acre site.
Three possible mixed-use development concepts for this thriving local area
Conceptual Master Plan 1
The Conceptual Master Plan 1 envisions an amalgam of assisted living facilities with services and amenities to meet a wide range of needs and lifestyles for an aging population.
The property entrance, along a tree lined street, allows for easy access to approximately 37,500 square feet of office and retail buildings — primarily for providing healthcare-related services and products.
After the office and retail space, a roundabout leads to a series of 50 independent living units.
One unique feature of this conceptual master plan is the Boutique Hotel, situated in the southwest area of the site, holding about 50 rooms, a pool, and recreational amenities.
The largest complex on site can house up to 160 assisted care living units including memory care and skilled nursing services.
The complex at the north end of the property houses approximately 80 assisted care living units. These units are designed to provide a more communal living environment than the independent living units, with less emphasis on services and nursing care.
These four complexes are linked by a network of multi-use trails, which provide access to an expansive water feature, a pool, green and open spaces, gazebos, recreational amenities and views of the Lake Apopka Restoration Area, which is recognized by the National Audubon Society.
Conceptual Master Plan 2
The Conceptual Master Plan 2 is a slight variation of the Conceptual Master Plan 1, with less emphasis on providing specialized care, services, and living unit types.
Accessed via a tree-lined street from South Binion Road, the entrance leads to a roundabout, a pocket park, and is framed by about 97,000 square feet of offices, retail and restaurants.
Following the commercial area to the southwest part of the site leads to a series of 20 independent living units.
The complex at the north end of the property is a large assisted care living facility, with approximately 80 units, a pool, and other amenities.
Similar to the Conceptual Master Plan 1, this plan also features a 50 room Boutique Hotel situated in the middle of the development. Hotel amenities include a pool and recreational facilities.
A multi-use trail provides access to plenty of open space, a system of seasonal water features and connections to the Lake Apopka Restoration Area, which is recognized by the National Audubon Society.
Conceptual Master Plan 3
The Conceptual Master Plan 3 focuses solely on residential uses, complemented by recreational amenities.
The intent of this master plan is to provide for a variety of townhomes and single family, detached housing units on a range of lot sizes.
A tree-lined street provides the entrance to the property, framed by 68 townhomes and leading to a fountain.
Moving north from this main street are 71 single-family detached housing lots of various sizes, generally broken into 46 large lots and 30 smaller lots.
Situated in the middle of the development area are a central park and a community recreation center with a pool.
Similar to the previous concepts, a network of multi-use trails links this neighborhood and provides access to recreation, open spaces, and connections to the Lake Apopka Restoration Area, which is recognized by the National Audubon Society.
