Planning & Zoning Board Regular Meeting · 2026-06-02 · agenda_item

A proposed policy amendment is under review by the City of Winter Park Planning & Zoning Board. This amendment would change how land use is determined for properties designated for Single Family Residential Future Land Use, specifically impacting properties on a lake. The current policy allows up to 5 dwelling units per acre, but the proposed policy would require a minimum of 1.5 acres for each dwelling unit. This change is considered to have a minimal impact on population and public services. The review process involves assessing the amendment against the city's comprehensive plan and land use policies. If approved, this could lead to future development opportunities requiring site preparation, utility work, and construction services, though the scale is described as de minimis. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this review process as it could signal future needs for their services.
