Minneola Planning & Zoning Commission — June 1, 2026

On June 1, 2026, Minneola's Planning & Zoning Commission carries a seven-item docket whose cardinal item is Ordinance 2026-05 — the corpus's first explicit data-center text amendment — arriving with two competing drafts in a single packet. Draft A caps provider power at 5 MW and water at 50,000 gallons per day, reclaimed-only, with a 25% reuse-retention floor and a 10,000 sq ft building cap; Draft B is performance-based, framing data centers as managed industrial economic development with a utility-impact analysis carrying denial authority. The 5 MW ceiling sits roughly 1/240th of a hyperscale's draw; the 50,000 gpd figure matches the number the Fort Meade hyperscaler in Polk County conceded after committing to closed-loop cooling. Minneola wrote this code with no data-center application on file. The same docket advances Minneola Commercial — a 21.55-acre US-27 anchor by Palm Beach Gardens private-equity firm Blackfin Partners, under existing B-1 zoning, splitting into 10 parcels with no rezoning. Actions are Pending; this reads the agenda as forward signal.
