City of Apopka

Redevelopment Plan
LDI did a complete analysis and rewrite of the 1993 Redevelopment Plan for the downtown CRA. Data was gathered from numerous departments within Apopka and FDOT. Two public workshops were held to gather and present LDI’s analysis. The revised plan included streetscape design for primary corridors throughout the downtown. Streetscape improvements were rendered in both plan and section drawings. Color perspectives were also created at key intersections to portray proposed improvements.

Small Area Studies
LDI prepared four area master plans and population projections for the City of Apopka. Master plans for each area included recommendations for land uses, development densities and intensities, transportation, parks and trails, and community focal points. LDI prepared amendments to the City’s comprehensive plan and land development regulations to incorporate the adopted master plans for the four areas. The culmination of the four studies resulted in award-winning design guidelines, also prepared by LDI.

Award-Winning Design Guidelines
LDI prepared citywide urban design guidelines for the City of Apopka. The guidelines applied to all land uses, including residential, commercial and industrial developments. The report also included design standards tailored for the traditional downtown core of Apopka and contained graphics to facilitate the interpretation of the standards. LDI also prepared amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations to implement the guidelines. LDI received the 2000 FPZA State Award, Outstanding Public Report Category, for the City of Apopka’s Development Design Guidelines Report.
