The City of Ocoee Planning & Zoning meeting held on March 10, 2026, focused on several key development and zoning matters. The commission denied a variance request for constructing a pickleball/basketball court in a side yard due to zoning code restrictions and concerns about drainage and erosion raised by neighbors. They approved the annexation and rezoning of a 6.4-acre property on North Lakewood Avenue to a planned unit development for residential use, with conditions including a 10-foot right-of-way dedication for future road expansion. Additionally, the commission approved a special exception for a Holiday Inn Express hotel, contingent on the hotel brand or user remaining consistent. The meeting also included the annual update to the city's five-year capital improvements plan, which aligns with the previously approved budget and includes projects in parks, roads, stormwater, and utilities. Project updates highlighted ongoing infrastructure improvements such as the completion of Oakland Avenue streetscape and progress on developments near the high school and along Koapka Road, signaling active growth and investment in the city’s infrastructure and commercial areas.
