What's pending
The Citrus Ridge package returns to substantive vote after April's procedural tabling. Four ordinances/resolutions: annexation (Ord 2026-02), comprehensive plan amendment (Ord 2026-03), rezoning (Ord 2026-02), and development agreement (Res 2026-01). Each votes separately.
The Rose/McCoy bloc test
Two consecutive meetings, the same Rose/McCoy pair on the conservation-vs-property-rights axis:
- March 2 — Whispering Winds Amenity Center site plan approved 3-2 with six environmental conditions added (permeable paving, native landscaping, dark-sky compliance). Rose and McCoy NAY.
- April 6 — motion by Rose, seconded by McCoy, to table the entire Citrus Ridge package. 4-0 on tabling.
May 4 is the test of whether this pattern holds at substantive vote. Three possibilities:
- Rose/McCoy NAY, package approved 3-2 — the bloc is confirmed, and Minneola's "Shape, don't deny" consensus has its first internal fracture line. Future commercial PUD applicants face a more contested floor.
- Rose/McCoy AYE, package approved 5-0 — the tabling was procedural caution, not a structural objection. The bloc dissolves.
- Package modified or further tabled — the bloc holds procedurally; the watch extends.
The corridor-cluster context
Camp Lake Industrial Park preliminary plat sits on the same May 4 agenda — the first appearance of the industrial subdivision adjacent to Citrus Ridge at the N. Hancock / Citrus Grove Road intersection. The pair forms a residential-PUD + commercial-PUD + industrial-subdivision cluster within a 12-month window. May 4 is the cardinal vote for whether this corridor consolidates.
What to look for in the minutes
- The exact vote tally on each of the four Citrus Ridge instruments
- Whether the Camp Lake Industrial Park preliminary plat passes alongside or separately
- Whether the commercial PUD's name change (from "Citrus Grove Road Commercial" in April to "Citrus Ridge Commercial" in May) is acknowledged on the record
- Acreage drift (15.878 → 17.878 between April and May; whether further changes appear)
