The City of Mount Dora Planning and Zoning Commission is considering new rules for parking garages. These rules would require landscaping at all entrances and exits. Additionally, every side of the parking garage structure would need landscaping features to soften its appearance. These features could include hanging plants, trellises with plants, or planters. This item is currently under review by the commission. If approved, the project would involve site preparation for planting areas, installation of planters and trellises, and ongoing landscape maintenance. Contractors specializing in landscaping, site preparation, and potentially concrete work for planters could find opportunities. Reaching out to the city early in the review process may provide an advantage before final plans and permits are established.
