6. To promote preservation of trees in parking areas, the city may reduce the total number

Planning and Zoning Commission · 2026-04-15 · agenda_item

The City of Mount Dora Planning and Zoning Commission is considering a new rule to help preserve trees in parking lots. This rule could allow the city to reduce the total number of required parking spaces by up to 15 percent. This change is currently under review. If approved, this could lead to projects involving site clearing and grading for new or modified parking areas, potentially including underground utility work and paving. It may also involve landscaping and final site finishing. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, grading, paving, and landscaping could find opportunities by engaging with the city early in this review process, before final plans and permits are established.
