- MeetingMaitlandMaitland · Planning and Zoning Commission · JUN 4, 2026On June 4, 2026, City of Maitland's Planning and Zoning Commission agenda lists multiple items for hearing. Item 1: AZPD(2026)-0004 — pud (pd amendment) at 2000 Summit Park Drive ("The Summit" Planned Development; Parcels 1A and 1E; Parcel ID 27-21-29-8419-00-011), Maitland, FL 32751. The agenda is the forward-looking civic record — what is on the docket before the meeting occurs. Vote outcomes, public testimony, and final dispositions land in the corresponding minutes record after the meeting.
- MeetingLake County (Unincorporated)Lake County (Unincorporated) · Planning and Zoning Board · JUN 3, 2026On June 3, 2026, the Lake County Planning and Zoning Board takes up a nine-tab docket whose cardinal item is structural: Tab 2, an ordinance dissolving the County's appointed Board of Adjustment effective July 1, 2026, and transferring every variance, waiver, and appeal — including §553.73(5) flood-construction variances — to the elected Board of County Commissioners. The Board of Adjustment was created November 26, 1996; the ordinance repeals LDR §§13.02.00 and 13.03.00 and replaces every "Board of Adjustment" reference with "Board of County Commissioners." County Attorney Melanie Marsh drafted it; the stated rationale is applicant convenience. The same docket sharpens the Rural Conservation open-space mandate (35%–90%, up to 90% in Green Swamp Core), runs density up on Clermont-served corridor land (Hartle Hills, 212 apartments) and down inside the Green Swamp (Tiger Paw, 0.39 DU/acre, 67.1% open space). The PZB recommends; the BCC decides July 14. This is governance consolidation: the quasi-judicial buffer is absorbed, not overruled.

The Quiet Revolution on Highway 27
South Lake County is four cities, one corridor, one shared fate. Clermont, Minneola, Groveland, Leesburg sit along the US-27 spine and share an aquifer, a school district, a developer roster, and a 24-month window in which each independently rebuilt its planning machinery against the same state preemption pressure.
Clermont
The most governance-sophisticated city in south Lake. Bain-era commission enforced the 2022 Wellness Way Design Standards in a 0-5 7-Eleven denial.
Minneola
Doesn't deny — rewrites. Citrus Grove approved with seventeen stipulations. $300M Hills Town Center + Crooked Can opens April 2026.
Groveland
Codifying eco-agrarian lifestyle into the zoning code. Cherry Lake Village 6-0 denial held the line. SB 180 caps strictness until October 2027.
Leesburg
Nine peripheral residential denials, every staff-recommended for approval. Same commission unanimously approves downtown lakefront density.
