Key Signals
- Grassy Lake's change from commercial to industrial reaches the Commission as one package. A rezoning (Ordinance 2026-20, PUD-C to PUD-I), a comprehensive plan policy and map change (Ordinance 2026-21, "Grassy Lake Holdings Commercial Development" to "Grassy Lake Holdings Industrial"), a PUD agreement (Resolution 2026-15) and a site plan for "Commercial and Industrial Use Buildings" all reach the Commission at once on the same 14.52 acres east of US Highway 27.
- The same move appears across the region's dockets. Groveland's City Council approved Ordinance 2026-13 and Ordinance 2026-14 on second reading on September 8, 2026, moving Sampey Road Parcel 2 (15.41 +/- acres) to Employment Center and Conservation future land use with Light Industrial and Conservation zoning. Apopka's City Commission agenda for August 19, 2026 carries Ordinances No. 3160 and 3161 moving 5.23 +/- acres on E. Keene Road from Commercial to Industrial future land use and from C-C (Community Commercial) to I-L (Light Industrial) zoning for warehouse storage (enclosed car storage), and Davenport's City Commission agenda for August 17, 2026 carried Ordinance No. 1456, moving 220 Davenport Boulevard from City Commerce Activity (CAC) to City Manufacturing Warehouse (MW), which the Commission deleted from its order of business that evening.
