April 29, 2026 Historic Preservation Board · 2026-04-29 · agenda_item

The City of Mount Dora Historic Preservation Board is reviewing proposed changes to its Land Development Code regarding historic preservation. The proposed amendment focuses on requiring a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for new structures or additions within the Historic Review Area, specifically for structures less than fifty years old. Currently, structures under fifty years old are not subject to COA requirements unless an addition or new structure is being built. This item is currently under review by the Board. If approved, the changes could involve new construction, site preparation, and potentially related trades for any new structures erected within the historic area. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in potential future work related to new construction or additions in the historic district are encouraged to monitor this review process. Understanding the proposed code changes early could provide an advantage as the city finalizes its requirements.
