7 issues in development with high priority
Crossroads at Kelly Park Infrastructure and Platting
The amenity park serving the Crossroads at Kelly Park community cleared its second review with no comments — a new neighborhood park is one step closer.
Ridgebrooke Subdivision Access and Layout
Fire requires a paved secondary access route for the Ridgebrooke subdivision, worked through the dog park area to Bailey Hill Road since the Sorrento Avenue option is off the table. It means Orange County permits and some design work, but the developer and the city agreed on a path forward.
Code Enforcement Policy and Property Neglect
The 718 South Park Avenue case — open for 3,299 days — was settled for roughly $30,000 after debate about transparency and consistency. The city will revise its settlement policy and hold a workshop, and code enforcement moves from police to the building department.
Saddlebrook Meadows 55-home development on Golden Gem Road
A 20-acre property would become 55 single-family homes under the Kelly Park Interchange form-based code, with 35.5% open space and a bike trail dedication. The local high school is short on seats, so the developer must finalize a mitigation agreement with Orange County Public Schools before construction plans are approved.
Crossroads at Kelly Park Phase 3B Construction Site Plan
Kelly Park Land Investments is moving forward with a revised construction site plan for Phase 3B of the Crossroads at Kelly Park development after clearing all city department reviews.
Commercial and Institutional Site Plan Reviews
A proposed 4,800-square-foot warehouse and site storage project on South Highland Avenue needs to fix stormwater and geotech report issues before moving forward.
