Ok, I will test it. What was the percent sign before the groupname for?

I can still stop and start apache with no issues using root. But, when I "su - user1", and try to run /usr/local/bin/apachectl start....I get the following error:
servername:/home/user1> /usr/local/apache/bin/apac
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80

1) The Percent sign indicates a Unix Group, instead of a userid.
2) How should the shell know about sudo? In my first comment I already wrote that your users must run:
sudo /usr/local/....

Oops, that is my mistake...I forgot to use sudo.
Don't worry! I saw this same mistake being made a hundred times here at EE ...
Unix OS
Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
