ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT MEETING NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that the Orange County Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) shall consider the requests listed below at their May 7, 2026, public hearing. Public hearings will be held in the County Commissioners Chambers located on the first floor of the Orange County Administration Building, 201 S. Rosalind Avenue beginning at 9:00 a.m. or as soon thereafter as possible. Please be advised that Section 286.0105, Florida Statutes, states that if a person decides to appeal any decision made by a board, agency, or commission with respect to any matter considered at a meeting or hearing he will need a record of the proceedings, and that for such purpose, he may need to ensure a verbatim record of the proceedings is made, which record includes the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based. The notated public hearing is quasi-judicial in nature. As such, any verbal or written communication with a member of the Board of Zoning Adjustment prior to todays quasijudicial hearing should be disclosed on the record or made a part of the record during the public hearing by or on behalf of the party who communicated with the Board member to allow any interested party an opportunity to inquire about or respond to such communication. Failure to disclose any such communication may place the party who ultimately prevails at the quasi-judicial hearing at risk of having the Boards decision overturned in a court of law due to prejudice against the party who was not privy to the ex parte communication.
