A 275-acre mixed-use development in south Lake County has cleared an important hurdle and is closer to rising on parcels along U.S. 27.

The Lake County Board of County Commissioners approved the rezoning of 274.68 acres from agriculture to the Trout Lake PUD. The new zoning paves the way for a project that will include up to 704 dwelling units and 48 acres of non-residential development.

The Trout Lake PUD spans two separate parcels just south of the much-anticipated $100 million Olympus project in Clermont — a 243-acre development that will be a mix of residential, sports venue, retail and medical uses.

Both projects fall within the 15,000-acre Wellness Way corridor.

Tampa-based Richland Investments LLC, also known by Richland Communities, bought the Trout Lake PUD’s western L-shaped, 155-acre parcel from Clonts in January for $13.3 million, or $85,800 per acre.
