This item concerns new rules for lot sizes and tree requirements within the City of Mount Dora. Specifically, lots ranging from 12,000 to 19,999 square feet must include at least five canopy trees. This is currently under review by the Planning and Zoning Commission. If approved, this could lead to requirements for site clearing, grading, and landscaping for new construction or development projects that meet these lot size criteria. It may also involve the installation of trees and related site preparation. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in landscaping, site preparation, and potentially nursery operations could find opportunities. Engaging early, before final plans and permits are issued, allows businesses to understand the upcoming needs and prepare to compete for future work.
