This item concerns a proposed update to city code regarding variances for one- and two-unit residential properties. The Planning and Zoning Commission is reviewing a condition for variance approval that requires the installation and maintenance of the greatest amount of reasonable landscaping. This review is currently under consideration. If approved, the update could lead to requirements for site clearing, grading, and extensive landscaping work for properties seeking variances. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, and landscaping services may find opportunities as this code change moves through the review process. Early engagement with the city or developers involved in variance applications could provide insight into upcoming project needs.

A. Request for Site Plan; Create Conservatory School (Project Name); 4900 Lake Park Court
The Mason Group Investments, LLC is proposing a site plan for a project named Conservatory School at 4900 Lake Park Court. The plan is currently under review by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The project aims to accommodate a final occupancy of 169 students and staff, with a maximum of 169 students permitted under an existing Conditional Use Permit. The review process involves discussions about traffic impact, including potential solutions like road markings, staggered dismissal times, and traffic guidance. This project is expected to involve site preparation, construction, and potentially traffic management infrastructure. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's scope and potential needs as it moves through the review process, before final bids and permits are issued.

A. Required permeable green space for yards abutting streets. Required front yards and required side yards abutting streets shall
This item concerns a proposed change to city rules regarding permeable green space in yards that face streets. The Planning and Zoning Commission is reviewing a proposal that would require front yards and street-facing side yards to be mostly landscaped green space. Paved areas like driveways and patios would be limited to 25 percent of the yard area for corner lots and 45 percent for inside lots, with exceptions for ADA compliance. This is currently under review by the commission. If approved, this change would lead to work involving site clearing, grading, and extensive landscaping for new construction and potentially for existing properties needing to comply. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, and landscaping services could find opportunities. Reaching out to understand the specifics of the proposed regulations as they develop could provide an advantage.

B. Landscaping Ordinance
The City of Mount Dora Planning and Zoning Commission is reviewing proposed changes to the city's Landscaping Ordinance. These changes are planned to apply to new development and may include requirements for canopy trees and irrigation systems. Discussions are ongoing regarding sodded yards, the effectiveness of irrigation with water restrictions, and the potential impact of state bill SB-180. The commission is also considering back flow preventer requirements for irrigation systems, including inspection fees and penalties. The cost of reclaimed versus potable water and potential issues with reclaimed water availability during droughts are also being discussed. This item is currently under review and has been tabled for further discussion at a future meeting. The work could involve site preparation, installation of irrigation infrastructure, and landscaping services. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site prep, grading, irrigation, and landscaping could find opportunities by engaging early before final plans and permits are established.

This item concerns new landscape requirements for one- and two-unit residential properties in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Planning and Zoning Commission is reviewing these requirements, which aim to prevent damage to protected trees by new structures. These rules will apply before a certificate of occupancy is issued for new developments or redevelopments. The project involves ensuring new homes are sited to protect existing trees as much as possible. This review stage means that detailed site plans and construction methods are still being considered. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, grading, landscaping, and potentially tree removal or protection services could find opportunities as this plan moves forward.

The review process is in its early stages, indicating potential opportunities for contractors and suppliers as plans are finalized. Work could involve site preparation, grading, installation of landscaping and trees, and potentially related infrastructure as development plans are approved. Local contractors, landscapers, nurseries, and suppliers of landscaping materials can prepare to engage as these standards move forward.

Currently, parks and conservation lands must follow specific rules for landscaping and tree protection. The proposal suggests that if these lands have an approved Land Management Plan, they would be exempt from these landscaping and tree protection rules. This change is currently under review by the Planning and Zoning Commission. If approved, this could affect future development or management of parks and conservation areas by potentially reducing requirements for new landscaping installation and tree preservation efforts. This early stage in the review process means contractors, suppliers, and service providers in related fields should monitor the outcome. Businesses involved in land management planning, landscaping, tree services, and potentially site development could find opportunities if this policy is adopted.

Mechanical equipment, such as backflow preventers, utility cabinets, and air conditioners, that can be seen from streets must be hidden. This can be done with a hedge of shrubs planted close together, a decorative fence, or an architectural feature. The landscaping must be at least three feet away from the equipment for access and airflow. This is a planned rule change being reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The work would involve installing hedges, fences, or architectural features.

June 17, 2026 Planning & Zoning Commission Agenda Packet
[4900 Lake Park Court; case SP24-09] The Planning and Zoning Commission met on May 20, 2026, to consider a request for a Site Plan for Create Conservatory School at 4900 Lake Park Court. The applicant, JamesCo Builders, LLC, proposed to increase student attendance. The commission discussed traffic impacts, road markings, staggered drop-off/pick-up times, and the potential for a school resource officer. The board questioned if they could limit student numbers, but staff confirmed an existing Conditional Use Permit allows for a maximum of 169 students. The commission approved the application with a 4-5 vote, with one opposed. The commission also tabled the discussion on the Landscaping Ordinance until June 17, 2026, requesting staff to include revisions for new development and to consider retroactivity to existing properties separately. [1303 Limit Avenue; case CUP25-01] The Planning and Zoning Commission agenda for June 17, 2026, includes a Request for Conditional Use Permit for Waterman Early Learning Center / Waterman Christian Academy at 1303 Limit Avenue. The applicant is Waterman Early Learning Academy/Waterman Christian Academy, and the owner is Florida Building Material Alliance, Inc. The project number is CUP25-01. The property is zoned Office Professional (OP) and is currently an office building. The proposal is to convert the existing 5,884-sf office building into a child care facility and private school for a maximum of sixty (60) students and eleven (11) employees. Staff recommends approval subject to conditions, including site plan approval and upgrading the existing 4” sewer line to a new 6” line. Public comment is not detailed in the provided text, but the process involves public hearings. The property is 3.36 +/- acres. The commission will also discuss a Transportation Update and the Landscaping Ordinance. St. Petersburg, Florida: Development and redevelopment of non-residential and multi-family properties are subject to specific landscaping requirements. Redevelopment is defined as construction requiring DRC, Community Planning and Preservation Commission, or CRA review, additional parking, a gross floor area expansion of over 15%, or work valued at a percentage of appraised value (ranging from 25% for values $250,000+ to 50% for values under $50,000). Existing properties without approved landscape plans performing exterior work requiring a permit, but not meeting redevelopment criteria, must provide landscaping equal to at least 10% of the work's value. Winter Park, Florida: All properties undergoing new construction, renovation, or expansion require compliance with landscape requirements prior to certificate of occupancy if the work value exceeds 50% of the property's improvement value (per Orange County Property Appraiser records). Interior alterations for one- and two-family dwellings are exempt. Existing commercial or multifamily properties with nonconforming landscaped buffers may continue using them in lieu of new requirements, especially if meeting new standards would cause a parking deficit. Commercial and multifamily properties must meet requirements with any expansion. Specific rules apply to understory and shade trees, including substitution ratios, placement near power lines, species diversity, and spacing. Prohibited plant species must be removed before construction. All landscape material must meet Florida Grades and Standards. Ground-mounted utilities should be painted green or flat black. Visible equipment (AC units, pool equipment, generators, etc.) must be screened. Deviations may be granted for topography or layout. Stormwater requirements are in Chapter 58, Article V, Division 1. Only bamboo species under 20 feet are permitted near overhead electric utility lines. Winter Garden, Florida: Existing single-family residential developments and residences are exempt from article requirements unless redeveloped requiring a building permit. Redevelopment excludes accessory structures or de minimis modifications. Existing nonresidential property with paved ground surfaces is exempt unless reconstruction or expansion requiring a building permit is undertaken. No structure needs alteration or moving solely to meet article requirements, and parking areas do not need to be reduced below minimum standards. Florida-friendly landscaping is encouraged for existing developed areas. Apopka, Florida: Standards apply to all new development, expansions or alterations of existing buildings (if increasing floor area by 50% or more, or involving 50% or more of floor area, including interior alterations) if existing prior to March 6, 2019, and any change in use. Exemptions include single-family detached dwellings and two-family (duplex) dwellings. Exempt developments must plant three canopy trees (or two on lots less than 55 feet wide), with understory trees substitutable for canopy trees at a 2:1 ratio. No Certificate of Occupancy will be issued until landscaping is installed per an approved plan. Clermont, Florida: Buffer requirements apply to all uses within the city, except for individual lots with one single-family residence or one two-family unit. Where a nonresidential use abuts another nonresidential use, only required tree installation provisions apply. Residential developments requiring city development plan approval must comply. Subdivision development must comply with specific provisions. Leesburg, Florida: It is unlawful to clear, develop, or increase the developed area of any lot unless in compliance with section 25-322 or exempted. Additions to existing structures and/or parking areas that exceed a 25% change in size require compliance with section 25-322 as a condition of approval. Section 25-326 outlines landscaping standards for the purpose of promoting native species, aesthetic complements, and Florida-Friendly Landscaping. Exemptions include agriculture/silviculture (under specific conditions), emergency maintenance, maintenance of existing approved landscaped areas, and parks/conservation lands with approved management plans. Lake County, Florida: It is unlawful to clear, develop, or increase the developed area of any site or lot unless in compliance with Section 9.01 or exempted. Exemptions include agriculture and silviculture (under specific conditions including bona fide farm operations and forestry management plans), activities regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or EPA, emergency maintenance, maintenance of existing approved landscaped areas, and parks/conservation lands with approved management plans. Trees on single-family residential lots of 2 acres or less with a dwelling are exempt from removal permits if tree requirements in Section 9.01.08(A) are met. [Gulf Boulevard and Blind Pass Road (for CRD encouragement)] St. Pete Beach, Florida: Minimum requirements apply to tree protection, landscaping of setback areas, and on-site landscaping for vehicular use areas in each zoning district. Landscape design should be integrated into overall design. Additional landscaping may be required for buffering or screening. New multifamily and all nonresidential developments must be landscaped per applicable provisions. For additions/renovations to existing multifamily or nonresidential buildings considered a 'substantial improvement,' landscaping is required before occupancy. If not a substantial improvement but the property doesn't comply, one square foot of landscaping is required for each square foot of additional building area. If no buildings are constructed, landscaping is required based on renovation cost: 25% for $1,001-$10,000, 20% for $10,001-$25,000, 15% for $25,001-$100,000, and 10% for over $100,001. Landscaping may be placed in the public right-of-way with city approval, or a payment made to the city. Changes in use require bringing the property into full compliance with all standards. Minneola, Florida: Parcels or developments that are nonconforming must be brought into full compliance when the gross floor area of any building is expanded by more than 20% or 4,000 square feet (whichever is less), or when a structure is destroyed by fire or calamity. Parking areas expanded by less than 25% only require the new area to comply; expansions of 25% or more require the entire parking area to comply. Combined expansions are considered. Existing buildings are not required to be altered or moved to comply with the chapter. Tavares, Florida: Non-residential developments require conformance with landscaping and buffering standards for new development on undeveloped property, and for changes/expansions of use proposing additional impervious surface area. Additions of 50% or greater impervious surface area (or 4,000 sq ft, whichever is less) require 100% of standard landscaping/buffers. Additions of 49% or less (or less than 4,000 sq ft) require 75%. Changes/expansions with no additional impervious surface area require 75% of standard landscaping/buffers. New residential developments (single-family subdivisions, duplexes, multifamily) must comply with standard requirements. Single-family and duplex lots require a minimum of one canopy tree per 2,000 sq ft of lot area (max 5 trees), with at least one in the front yard, and a minimum of 5 shrubs per 2,000 sq ft (max 25 shrubs). Existing multifamily developments expanding by 500 sq ft or more require compliance. Existing vegetation may satisfy requirements with staff approval.

a) The use should not be detrimental to the area or inconsistent with development trends in
A child care center is proposed for a property located in an area with institutional and commercial development. The property is currently zoned OP and is adjacent to C-3 zoned areas. The applicant plans to use the existing landscape buffer for required landscaping. This proposal is under review by the Planning and Zoning Commission. If approved, the project would involve site preparation, construction of a child care facility, and associated landscaping. Contractors specializing in general construction, site work, concrete, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, painting, flooring, and landscaping may find opportunities. Early engagement is advised as plans and permits are still being finalized.

a. An irrigation permit shall be required by the utility department for all new and redeveloped single family
The City of Mount Dora Planning and Zoning Commission is considering a new requirement for single-family residences. This proposal would mandate an "Application for Irrigation/Backflow Permit" from the utility department for all new and redeveloped single-family homes. While owner-occupied residential landscape and irrigation projects will not need a stamped plan from a landscape architect or certified irrigation contractor, they must still meet the outlined standards. This item is currently under review by the commission. If approved, the project would involve the installation of new irrigation systems and backflow preventers for residential construction. This could create opportunities for contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, plumbing, and landscaping. Suppliers of irrigation equipment and materials may also see increased demand. Early engagement with the city and potential developers could provide valuable insight as plans are finalized.

b) The use should not have an unduly adverse effect on traffic patterns, movement, or
A conditional use permit is under review for the Waterman Early Learning Academy / Waterman Christian Academy, proposed for a site located at an unspecified address on Limit Avenue. The property, currently used for office space and featuring a 25-space parking lot, is planned to become a child care facility. This proposal involves modifying the existing parking lot, removing two standard spaces to accommodate waste collection and fire truck turnaround, but does not include new driveways. The project is currently under review by the Planning and Zoning Commission. If approved, the work could involve site modifications, potential right-of-way dedication along Limit Avenue as required by Lake County, and adjustments to the existing parking area. Contractors specializing in site preparation, concrete work, and potentially general construction services may find opportunities. Early engagement is advised as site plans and specific requirements are still being determined.
