Downtown Apopka MU-D Infill Site – Trail-Front, Civic-Core Location...Prime vacant land in the heart of Downtown Apopka, located at 215 S. 5th Street directly across from Apopka City Hall and the Fire Department and fronting the West Orange Trail. This rare infill site sits in the city’s MU-D – Downtown Mixed-Use zoning district, intended to concentrate commerce, government, culture and higher-intensity mixed-use development in the downtown core. The MU-D district is designed to support a walkable, pedestrian-oriented environment with flexible commercial and residential entitlements. Typical allowed uses in MU-D include professional and medical offices, retail and boutique shops, personal services, restaurants and cafés, entertainment and recreation uses, educational and communication uses, health-care and visitor accommodation, as well as multi-family, townhome, and mixed-use buildings that combine commercial on the ground floor with residential or office above. With immediate visibility from City Hall, direct exposure to cyclists and pedestrians on the West Orange Trail, and convenient access to Main Street (US-441), this site is ideally positioned for a small-format commercial or mixed-use building—think coffee shop, smoothie bar, professional office, boutique retail, or a trail-oriented live-work concept (subject to city approval). Prospective buyers and developers should confirm specific building envelope, parking, utilities, and any CRA/Opportunity Zone incentives with the City of Apopka and Orange County Property Appraiser during due diligence.
