The Planning & Zoning Commission met on March 18, 2026. Two variance requests were approved. The first, for 110 N Clayton Street, involved extending a garage to replicate the current one and improve vehicle access and stormwater drainage. The second, for 1218 Overlook Drive, was for a detached garage, with the applicant citing hardship due to the lack of a garage. Both approvals were subject to conditions provided by staff per the Land Development Code. The commission also discussed updates to the Landscaping Code and traffic guidelines. An ordinance (2026-XX) was presented, detailing revisions to the City of Mount Dora Land Development Code, specifically Chapter VI (Design Standards) and Chapter VIII (Definitions), focusing on landscaping and buffer requirements. The ordinance outlines specific buffer types, widths, and planting requirements based on zoning districts, as well as parking lot landscaping standards, tree preservation, and maintenance guidelines. It also lists approved tree and plant species and prohibited trees.
