Zoning snapshot (RP today; C-1 potential)

RP – Residential Professional (Seminole County): Transitional, low-intensity “office/professional” intent designed to buffer neighborhoods from arterials. Think medical/dental/therapy, professional offices, and similar neighborhood-scale uses. (County LDC & zoning tables reference RP; detailed use lists live in the LDC.) 
C-1 – Retail Commercial (by rezoning/PD or comparable approval): Neighborhood retail/service uses (small-format restaurants, personal services, medical/urgent Care, fitness, tutoring, bank, etc.). C-1 is one of the County’s “Retail Commercial” districts per the LDC; exact use permissions and standards must be verified against the current code during pre-app.

2) Traffic & access context (SR-426 & Chapman)

Corridor volumes: On the SR-426/CR-419 corridor (Broadway/Geneva), planning reports show volumes in the ~12,200–26,800 vehicles/day range depending on the segment/year—consistent with a neighborhood-serving arterial. Use FDOT’s Florida Traffic Online for the latest 2024 AADT count at the specific count station nearest your frontage.

Functional classification notes: Chapman Rd operates as a collector linking SR-426 with SR-434; access management may limit new driveways (favoring shared access and right-in/right-out).

3) Demographics & demand drivers (immediate trade area)

City-level baseline (Oviedo): Population ˜ 40,000; median HH income ˜ $114k; median age ˜ 37—an affluent, family-oriented suburban market.

Local anchor: UCF (~69,800 students in Fall 2024) within a short drive, adding steady daytime and service-employment demand (healthcare, food, tutoring, fitness). 
University of Central Florida

City of Oviedo profile: City cites ~41,900 residents and $111k median HH income—directionally consistent with Census/DataUSA.

4) Highest-and-best-use concepts (fit RP today; up-zone path to C-1)

RP-conforming (near-term, lower entitlement risk)

Medical/Professional Office Park (single-story or 2-story): Family practice, pediatrics, dental/ortho, PT/OT, imaging lite, behavioral health.

Professional Office Condos: 1.5–3.0ksf bays for attorneys, CPAs, insurance/wealth advisors, real-estate services.

Hybrid Medical + Ancillary Services: Clinic plus lab/therapy suites.

If advanced to C-1 (via rezoning/PD or similar)

Neighborhood Retail/Service Pad(s): Café/coffee, sandwich/salad, nail/spa, boutique fitness, tutoring/learning center, pack/ship.

Urgent Care + Pharmacy (no drive-thru if code restricts): Taps strong income and family demographics near schools.

Daycare/Early Learning (if permitted with conditions): High-demand suburban need with strong incomes.

Why these work here: The corridor’s volumes (teens–20s K AADT) favor neighborhood-scale services over big-box retail; the income profile supports private-pay healthcare and premium services; UCF provides weekday daytime demand and staffing pipeline.

5) Quick sizing math (order-of-magnitude)

Site area: 2.86 ac ˜ 124,600 sf.

Planning allowance: After stormwater/landscape/aisles, assume ~100,000 sf usable hardscape/envelope.

Office parking at 4/1,000: Parking consumes ~1.3x building area; yields ~35,000–45,000 sf single-story office/medical across 2–3 buildings, or a 20–25k sf anchor plus pads.
(These are planning-level estimates; final yield depends on actual setbacks, buffers, stormwater method, access spacing, and required open space per LDC.)

6) Entitlement & delivery strategy

Pre-app with County Planning/Engineering: Confirm RP permitted uses, driveway spacing on SR-426, and whether a PD/C-1 path is supported given proximity to Chapman (collector/arterial node policies).

Traffic access sketch: Shared access & cross-easements; right-in/right-out on SR-426; internal drive to a secondary access if feasible. (Use FDOT Florida Traffic Online to pin the AADT and DHV at your nearest count break.) 
Florida Department of Transportation

Two-track site plan:

Plan A (by-right RP): medical/professional park with 30–45k sf in phases.

Plan B (rezoning/PD to C-1): add one or two retail/service pads (2–3.5k sf each) at the frontage; keep rear/center for medical.

7) Risks & mitigations (what to watch)

Access management on SR-426: Early coordination reduces surprises on driveway permits/turn lanes. 
Seminole County

Buffering to nearby residential: RP/C-1 both trigger landscape/buffer standards—design buildings to face SR-426, push parking internal, and use walls/evergreen screens per County LDC.

Stormwater footprint: If soils allow, underground chambers or exfiltration can preserve buildable area at a higher cost; otherwise expect a visible pond that pulls down yield (plan grading early with geotech).
