City of Ocoee's Planning & Zoning Meeting Recorded on 7.14.2026

The City of Ocoee's Planning & Zoning meeting held on July 14, 2026, primarily focused on discussing a proposed interim policy update regarding impervious surface coverage in single-family planned unit developments. The discussion addressed increasing the allowable impervious surface from 50% to 75% of the total lot area, with a maximum of 50% impervious surface in the front yard, to better align with current development trends and neighboring jurisdictions like Orange County. The policy aims to resolve existing code violations and accommodate residents' desires for backyard improvements such as pools and patios while maintaining drainage easements and setbacks. Additionally, the meeting included a comprehensive Sunshine Law and public records training emphasizing transparency, ethics, conflicts of interest, and compliance with Florida statutes. Project updates were provided on ongoing infrastructure improvements, including a sewer project on Lakewood Avenue and several commercial and mixed-use developments. No formal votes on procurement or contracts were recorded, but the impervious surface policy discussion indicates potential future code amendments affecting development and construction activities in the city.
