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.

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.

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.

1. Formally approve Council Member Price as the City of Tavares Voting Delegate for the 2026
The City of Tavares is reviewing Ordinance 2026-04, which proposes to annex and rezone approximately 19.18 acres of land. This property is located east of County Road 561, about 200 feet north of the Frankies Road intersection. Currently used for light industrial, warehousing, and vacant land, the proposal is to change the zoning from Lake County's Planned Industrial and Heavy Industrial to the City of Tavares' Planned Development. This planned development would allow for a mix of light industrial, manufacturing, indoor/outdoor storage, retail commercial, professional services, offices, and recreational commercial uses. The project is currently under review, with a future land use map amendment also being processed. This annexation and rezoning would set in motion future site development, likely involving site clearing and grading, underground utility work, paving, building construction for various commercial and industrial uses, and final landscaping. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers should consider engaging early to understand the project's scope as plans develop, before bids and permits are finalized, to best position themselves for potential work.

3. Maintaining the existing regulations and evaluating future proposals on a case-by-case basis
The City of Tavares City Council is reviewing its economic development strategy to encourage commercial and industrial growth. This review includes evaluating current and proposed incentives, with a focus on potential enhancements beyond the existing waiver of city impact fees for large-scale seaplane businesses. The council will discuss and provide direction on how to best address future proposals, such as data center developments, on a case-by-case basis through the city's current development review process. This early stage of review means that potential future projects are being considered, and the city is seeking input on its approach. Businesses involved in commercial and industrial development, including general contractors, site preparation services, and those providing building materials, may find opportunities as the city refines its strategy for growth. Engaging with the city now, before specific projects are defined, allows businesses to understand the direction and prepare for future needs.
