The City of Tavares is considering an ordinance to amend the Fisherman's Cove Planned Development and adopt a Master Development Plan. This plan outlines future development standards for the area. Neighboring property owners have raised concerns about setbacks, buffers, open space, stormwater management, and utility infrastructure. The applicant has agreed to work with city staff to ensure compliance with landscape buffer requirements, which include Type 'C' (20-foot-wide) or Type 'E' (15-foot-wide with a wall or fence) buffers. The City Council is being recommended to approve this ordinance, which would adopt the proposed Master Development Plan and development standards. This project is currently under review, with a recommendation for approval. The development process will likely involve site clearing, grading, installation of stormwater and utility systems, paving, building construction, and final landscaping. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, utility work, building trades, and landscaping could find opportunities by engaging early, before final plans and bids are set.

1. Exhibit A

The City of Tavares is planning adjustments to its Fiscal Year 2027 budget. These adjustments include adding two police officers starting July 1, 2027, and purchasing two new police vehicles. A police body camera contract is being moved from the Police Impact Fee Fund to the General Fund. Miscellaneous payroll updates are also being made across several city funds, including Grant, Utility, Solid Waste, Stormwater, Marina, and Pavilion funds. This item is currently under review as part of the city's budget process. The work would involve the procurement and implementation of new police equipment and personnel, as well as administrative adjustments to various city operational budgets. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as law enforcement equipment, vehicle acquisition, and potentially IT services for the body camera contract may find opportunities. Early engagement with city staff before final budget approval and procurement processes are established could provide a competitive advantage.

1. Expanding the current permanent waiver of all applicable city impact fees (ordinance 2015-11)

The City of Tavares is considering a change to its permanent waiver of city impact fees. This proposal would expand the current waiver, which currently only applies to seaplane-related businesses. The new plan would include all manufacturers that create 25 or more full-time employees or 25 equivalent residential units. This item is currently under review by the City Council and will be discussed during a budget workshop. If approved, this could lead to new manufacturing businesses locating in Tavares, potentially requiring site preparation, construction, and related trade services. Businesses that provide services to manufacturers, such as logistics, equipment supply, and professional services, may also find opportunities. Early engagement with city planning and economic development departments could provide insight into future needs as this proposal moves through the review process.
