Board roster as printed on the agenda masthead: Mayor Donna Fellows-Coffey; Vice-Mayor Jeremy Clark; Commissioners Tom Fellows, Linda Robinson, Frank Rivera.

Davenport's Planning Commission is the same five people as the City Commission, sitting in a different procedural capacity. This masthead differs from the March 16, 2026 agenda masthead, which read: Mayor Brynn Summerlin, Vice-Mayor Jeremy Clark, Commissioners Tom Fellows, Linda Robinson, Donna Fellows-Coffey. Summerlin no longer appears; Frank Rivera appears for the first time in the harvested record; Fellows-Coffey has moved from commissioner to mayor. The April 20, 2026 agenda masthead already carried the new roster, while the April 20 minutes recorded four members present under the old titles — the turnover falls in that window.

Key Signals

Davenport is converting residential-designated land to industrial for the first time in the harvested Polk record. Ordinances 1451 and 1452 move a Page Road property from City Residential Medium / R-4 to City Manufacturing Warehouse / I-1. This is an in-city re-designation, not an annexation — Davenport is manufacturing industrial capacity out of land already inside its boundary and already designated for housing. The owner is RJR Contractor LLC, a contractor entity, which reads as build-to-suit or yard/warehouse use rather than a speculative land play. Every prior industrial-adjacent motion in the Davenport record ran the opposite direction: February 2026 traded County Employment Center land into highway commercial.
The warehouse re-tasking wave shows up in Polk before it shows up in Orange or Lake. Apopka moved Community Commercial to Light Industrial on E. Keene Road in July 2026 and on S. Hawthorne Avenue in March 2026; Lake County (Unincorporated) staged a 77-acre Rural-to-Planned-Industrial FLUM and rezoning for its August 5, 2026 PZB docket. Davenport's June 15 filing sits between them and is the only one of the three that takes the land out of a residential designation. The corridor-wide signal is consistent — arterial and edge land is being re-tasked for storage and logistics — but the source of the land differs by jurisdiction, and Davenport is the one paying for it in housing capacity.
Three consecutive Davenport dockets have moved land in three different directions, and none of the motions was city-initiated. February converted parcels into highway commercial (C-3). April converted nine James Street parcels out of commercial and into R-5 residential (Cintra Enterprises LLC). June converts Page Road out of residential and into I-1. Davenport's future land use map is being edited parcel-by-parcel by whoever owns the parcel, with the Planning Commission functioning as the recommend-and-forward conduit. There is no visible city-side plan arbitrating the direction of travel.
The board hearing these items is not the board that heard March's Pulte PUD. The June 15 masthead seats Mayor Donna Fellows-Coffey and Commissioner Frank Rivera; the March 16 masthead seated Mayor Brynn Summerlin with Fellows-Coffey as a commissioner and no Rivera. Because Davenport's Planning Commission and City Commission are the same five people, the turnover lands on both bodies at once — the recommending board and the adopting board changed together. Tom Fellows, the record's only recurring skeptic on water supply and setback precedent (March 2026), retains his seat. A first industrial conversion arriving in the first months of a reconstituted board is the condition the six-month board flip pattern is built to watch.
Davenport did not file a Data Center text amendment. The June 15 docket is the city's first Planning Commission agenda after SB 484's July 1, 2026 effective date came into view, and it carries no data center language — only two annexation pairs and one industrial conversion. Davenport has no PC docket at all for May, July, or August 2026. For the open cross-corpus propagation question opened by Minneola's Ordinance 2026-05, Davenport reads as a non-adopter through the 2026-08-30 window, notwithstanding that it just created I-1 land at the I-4 / US-27 interchange — the zoning category data centers typically seek.

Raw Notes

Single-page agenda, native digital PDF, clean text extraction. Meeting time 6:30 PM (the source profile's stated 6:00 PM is wrong; every 2026 agenda face reads 6:30 P.M.).

Ordinance number gap. April 20, 2026 carried Ordinances 1443 and 1444; June 15 carries 1449 through 1452. Numbers 1445–1448 do not appear on any harvested Davenport Planning Commission agenda. No Planning Commission meeting was held or published for May 2026, so those four ordinances either moved through City Commission business without a land-use referral or were assigned and not yet heard. The agenda record alone does not distinguish the two.

Docket gap. The April 20 → June 15 interval is a two-month gap in the Planning Commission docket, and the board roster changed inside it. Verified by index-page scan on 2026-08-08: the 2026 agenda index lists Planning Commission files for January 20, February 16, March 16, April 20, and June 15 only; the 2026 minutes index lists January 20, February 16, March 16, and April 20 only. HEAD probes on May_18_2026_-_Planning_Commission.pdf, July_20_2026_-_Planning_Commission.pdf, and August_17_2026_-_Planning_Commission.pdf all return 404.

June 15 minutes not yet published as of 2026-08-08. The (1)-suffix minutes variant returns 404. This document should be upgraded to a minutes record when the file appears.

Classification naming correction for the corpus. This agenda names RE-1 as City Residential Estates. The December 2025 Davenport document renders RE-1 as "City Low Density Residential (RE-1)," which conflicts with the source's own label here. It also names R-4 as "City Low Density Residential," a label the April 2026 document applies to R-5. Davenport's code appears to spread the "low density residential" phrase across more than one district; treat the district code, not the phrase, as the identity.

Missing parcel identifiers. Neither item set carries parcel numbers on the agenda face, in contrast to the April 20 docket, which listed nine parcel IDs for the James Street assemblage. Acreage is absent for all four ordinances. Acreage and parcel identity for the Page Road conversion — the fact that determines how much industrial land Davenport just created — will only be recoverable from the minutes or the staff report.
