Development radar — Lake County, August 2026
The Development Radar is our monthly digest of what local governments are about to discuss. This issue covers the August 2026 agendas in the City of Clermont and in Lake County. In Clermont, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council agendas carried two conditional use permits — a veterinary clinic in the M-1 Industrial District and a mixed-use development in the Central Business District — a small-scale Comprehensive Plan amendment and a rezoning for the Louisa Grande subdivision, west of the Hidden Court and U.S. 27 intersection, and the ordinance that would establish a Community Development District for Sanctuary at Wellness Ridge. At the county, the Board of County Commissioners' agenda carried two text amendments to the Land Development Regulations and the first public hearing of an ordinance for a temporary moratorium on data centers in the unincorporated areas. These meeting dates have passed: what we quote is the status each agenda states, not the outcome. Every item was verified against its official agenda, live: we publish only the ones whose link resolved and whose status appears verbatim on the agenda, next to the item it describes.
