Bloc Formation and Resolution: Two cities show two stages of the same governance arc — Leesburg's high-resolution filter at maturity, Minneola's first fracture at emergence

Two Lake County Planning Commissions show two stages of the same governance arc. Leesburg's bloc has matured into a high-resolution fit filter — the same six commissioners discriminated by fit-appropriateness on January 22, 2026 (Lake Bright 3-3, Cronin-Dewey Robbins 4-2 with motion-without-second) and on March 19, 2026 (Mispah ALF 6-0, 2007 Butler CRR 6-0). Minneola's bloc is just emerging — the Rose/McCoy pair produced the first 3-2 split on the Whispering Winds amenity center on March 2, 2026 and then moved to TABLE the Citrus Grove Commercial PUD substantive hearing on April 6. Same structural arc, different stages. Leesburg's bloc has years of votes and a clarified discriminator; Minneola's bloc has weeks of votes and the discriminator is still resolving. Reading both together clarifies what bloc formation and bloc resolution actually look like over time.
