At first reading the council considered two ordinances to alter future land use and zoning for roughly 28 acres at the southeast corner of Singleton Avenue and State Road 405 (PD South). Ordinance 38‑2025 proposed a future land use swap — converting 11.25 acres to conservation and 0.44 acres to low‑density residential — and Ordinance 39‑2025 proposed rezoning most of the site to a planned development (PD) designation.

Several adjacent property owners and residents opposed the rezoning at the first reading public hearing. Jill Dobson, who owns 25 acres that include a lake adjacent to the proposed PD, presented aerial and flooding photos and said the property currently receives runoff from higher elevations and nearby canals; she argued that proposed multifamily buildings up to 40 feet tall and detention ponds placed near the lake would increase runoff, erosion and long‑term pressure on downstream neighborhoods and the Indian River Lagoon. Other residents raised concerns about removal of old‑growth tree canopy, long‑term conservation loss and property‑value impacts.

Staff clarified these were first‑reading ordinances; staff and the applicant said site‑specific engineering, including stormwater design, would be required during later site plan review. Multiple residents asked that the council deny or delay PD zoning until the city can complete broader stormwater and conservation reviews; council members acknowledged the concerns and recorded the first‑reading ordinances for a future public hearing (no final action taken at first reading).

Ending: The items remain at first reading; council and staff indicated future hearings and site‑level engineering review will be required before any development permits are issued.
