RCE Consultants, LLC (Larry Poliner, P.E.)
RCE Consultants, LLC is the civil engineering firm of record for the Langley Industrial Park annexation into the City of Groveland — Lot 5 on Republic Drive, 6.24 acres, heard by Groveland's Planning & Zoning Board on May 7, 2026. The named engineer is Larry Poliner, P.E. In the Zoning Signal corpus, RCE appears in a single but structurally telling role: the engineering signature on the second confirmed three-ordinance industrial annexation in six months, running the identical procedural template as the Gadson Street annexation of November 2025. The firm is not the applicant — that is Rutland International, Inc., represented by agent Trevor P. Browne — but the engineer who carries the site work, the stormwater design, and the technical package through the annexation, small-scale comprehensive plan amendment, and rezoning. RCE is one of the recurring professional-services actors that make Groveland's industrial-edge expansion frictionless: the firms that know the template are the firms that keep landing on the agenda. A Florida LLC registered out of Altamonte Springs since 2009, with Poliner's background running through Seminole County development review, RCE is the kind of Central-Florida civil shop whose presence on a packet signals that the application is built to clear, not to fight.
What's on the record
RCE Consultants, LLC enters the corpus through one document: the May 7, 2026 Groveland Planning & Zoning Board agenda packet for Langley Industrial Park.
- Civil engineer of record — Larry Poliner, P.E., RCE Consultants, LLC, named on the Langley Industrial Park application package.
- Project — Langley Industrial Park, Lot 5 (Plat Book 63, Pages 48-49), 6.24 acres on Republic Drive at the southwest corner of Democracy Street, proposing approximately 100,000 square feet of light industrial office/warehouse space.
- Applicant team — property owner Rutland International, Inc. (10895 Rocket Blvd, Orlando), agent Trevor P. Browne, civil engineer RCE Consultants. RCE is the engineer, not the applicant.
- Instruments — the three-ordinance package: annexation (Ordinance 2026-5), small-scale comprehensive plan amendment from Lake County Industrial to City of Groveland Employment Center (Ordinance 2026-6), and rezoning to City of Groveland Light Industrial (Ordinance 2026-7).
The real-world firm
RCE Consultants, LLC is a Florida limited liability company registered with the Division of Corporations (Sunbiz, Document Number L09000086406, filed September 4, 2009), with a principal address in Altamonte Springs. Its named principal in this record is Larry Poliner, P.E. — a Central Florida civil engineer whose public professional profile lists an environmental-engineering background from the University of Central Florida and prior experience in development review for Seminole County government. The firm's practice runs to the civil-engineering core of land entitlement: site planning and design, and stormwater modeling — the technical work that turns a raw parcel into an approvable industrial site.
The corpus knows RCE only through the Langley packet. Everything beyond the engineering-of-record role on that one application is context, not a documented corpus claim.
Why this matters for the corpus
RCE Consultants is a small node with an outsized read. The corpus has named the three-ordinance industrial annexation as a pattern — Groveland running the same annex-amend-rezone block twice in six months, scaling from Gadson Street's 1.9 acres (November 2025) to Langley's 6.24 acres (May 2026) without procedural friction. A pattern that repeats needs a repeatable professional-services layer underneath it: the agents, attorneys, and engineers who already know how the block clears. RCE is the engineering signature on the second exhibit.
For developers and operators reading the corridor, the lesson is the same one the corpus draws from Christopher C. Ford Commerce Park doing the policy work and Rutland International supplying the use: Groveland's industrial-edge expansion is now a workflow, and workflows reward the teams that have run them before. The presence of a Central-Florida civil shop with a development-review pedigree on the Langley packet signals an application built to fit the template, not to test it. The forward question is whether the same engineering-of-record names reappear on the next Republic Drive industrial parcel — and whether the professional-services bench around Groveland's employment-center edge is consolidating or rotating.
