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

The City of Winter Park's Planning & Zoning Board is reviewing a proposed policy, Policy 1-5.2.1, focused on maintaining neighborhood scale and character during redevelopment. This policy aims to guide new residential development so it complements existing neighborhoods and does not substantially alter the street's scale or character. The goal is to allow for redevelopment that respects the unique features of Winter Park, such as large lakefront lots, while preventing homes that are out of scale with the surrounding area. This policy is currently under review by the Planning & Zoning Board. If adopted, it could influence future residential construction projects, potentially involving site planning, architectural design, and construction services that adhere to specific scale and character guidelines. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this policy's progress, as early awareness can provide an advantage in understanding future project requirements and opportunities.
