Approval of 14th and 15th Amendment to the Ocoee-Orange County Joint
Planning Area Agreement. (Advertised in the Orlando Sentinel Classified Legal on
Wednesday, October 8, 2008) (principal Planner Rumer)
The area proposed to be added to the JP A encompasses the neighborhood known as the Rose Hill
subdivision. The area was located within the JP A prior to 1999 and was subsequently removed from
the JPA by the Third Amendment that was approved in 1999. The general area is characterized as an
older established residential neighborhood bordered by the West Oaks Mall on the west, Good Homes
Plaza on the south, and the Orange County Solid Waste Transfer Station on the northeast boundaries.
The area is accessed by an entrance on Good homes Road and another on White Road. The Rose Hill
subdivision is comprised of three phases, each with its own independent Home Owners Association
(HOA) and elected Board of Directors. The Phase 3 HOA President and Vice President met with the
City Manager and staff back in 2007 to explore the option for annexing into the Ocoee city limits.
On August 12, 2008, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing to consider the
proposed amendments to the Joint Planning Area Agreement. Staff discussed the proposed textural
changes to the amendment and clarified that annexation was not under discussion. Eight residents from
Rose Hill spoke at the meeting. Four were residents of Phase I and spoke in opposition to the JPA
Amendment. The rest of the speakers spoke in favor of the proposed amendment. After fmishing
deliberations, the Planning and Zoning Commission, acting as the Local Planning Agency, voted 4-1 to
recommend approval of the proposed JP A amendments.
