A Northeast Ocoee development project will be up for discussion during the Nov. 5 city commission meeting.

City leaders will take action on the second reading of three ordinances related to the CLRM Planned Unit Development. The ordinances are related to annexation and rezoning of the property as well as a large-scale comprehensive plan amendment to change the future land-use designation of the property.
