Subject: First Reading of Ordinance for 1 Taylor Street Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan FLU
Amendment from Heavy Industrial (HI) to Commercial (COMM) & Rezoning from I-1 (Restricted
Manufacturing and Warehousing) to C-2 (Community Commercial); Project Nos. CPA-2024-
004 & RZ-24-03-02. (Development Services Director Rumer)
Background Summary: Owner/Applicant: City of Ocoee
General Location: The property is located within Commission District 2 on the northeast side of the Taylor St.
and W. McKey St. intersection.
Property Size and Parcel ID No.: The property contains approximately 0.21 acres and is assigned parcel
identification number 18-22-28-0000-00-049.
Actual land use, proposed land use, and unique features of the subject property: 1 Taylor Street is located in
the City's Downtown Redevelopment Area. The property was purchased by the City on January 15, 2024,
which removed years of Code Violations. The City is proposing the Land Use Amendment and Rezoning in
order to ensure the property entitlements remain only for commercial, office, retail and restaurant uses. These
uses are in line with the vision and future planning of the City Downtown Master Plan. Therefore, removing the
industrial zoning and land use designation ensures the parcel will meet the Master Plan in the future.
