The Three-Ordinance Block: Groveland has codified industrial-edge expansion as a single decision moment, not a negotiation

Groveland has codified a replicable three-ordinance template that moves Lake County industrial-zoned land into the City of Groveland Employment Center as a single board action. The sequence — voluntary annexation under F.S. § 171.044, small-scale comprehensive plan amendment under F.S. § 163.3187(1), rezoning to City Light Industrial — runs as three back-to-back unanimous votes with zero public comment and predictable cadence. Gadson Street executed the template November 6, 2025 at 1.9 acres; Brighthill Phase 2 ran the same procedural template at 147.47 acres on December 4, 2025; Langley Industrial Park ran it at 6.24 acres on May 7, 2026 with 100,000 square feet of warehouse space proposed on Republic Drive. Three exhibits, six-month window, 78× scale variance. The template is jurisdiction-neutral on parcel size and now the standing workflow for the city's industrial-edge expansion.
