[Watch] Next Live Local Act project filing in south Lake

Pointe Grande was Pointe Grande. Minneola Ord 2024-10 and
Clermont's density-cap reduction were authored as defensive
responses inside the SB-180 grandfather window. Each city
adopted before the August 2024 SB 180 trigger; the codes
are protected. The next Live Local Act qualifying project
filed in south Lake is the first test of whether the
defensive architecture holds against state preemption, or
whether developer-side strategy has evolved past the
defensive surface. Leesburg has no defensive code; the
next Live Local filing there hits a different exposure
profile, with the denial bloc administratively bypassed
by the Live Local statute. This watch surfaces the cardinal
evidence point on whether south Lake's defensive Live-Local
posture is durable across municipalities and developers —
the Grandfather Window pattern's first applied test post-
Pointe-Grande, and the cardinal calibration moment for the
SB 180-class state-preemption response architecture across
the corridor.
