0) to recommend approval of Ordinance 2026-06 as presented. During the public hearing, neighboring

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.
