COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
9:25 a.m. Second Reading Public Hearing
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission (City Commission) adopt the ordinance.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
On September 11, 2024, at the request of Commissioner Alex Fernandez, the City Commission referred an item (C4 U) to the Land Use and Sustainability Committee (LUSC) pertaining to notice requirements for tenants of residential buildings. On October 14, 2024, the LUSC discussed the proposal and recommended that the City Commission refer an ordinance amendment to the Planning Board in accordance with the recommendations in the LUSC memorandum.
On November 20, 2024, at the request of Commissioner Alex Fernandez, the City Commission referred the ordinance (C4 N) to the Planning Board. The item is co-sponsored by Commissioner Joseph Magazine.
ANALYSIS
The attached ordinance amends the housing element of the Comprehensive Plan, to create a new policy (HE 1.1.13) specific to a housing impact statement. A companion amendment to the Land Development Regulations of the City Code (LDRs) is also proposed, as a separate ordinance.
The housing impact statement would be provided for tracking purposes and to inform future policy discussions of the board and/or the City Commission but may not serve as a basis for the approval or denial of a conditional use application.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND REVIEW PROCESS Under Section 163.3184(2), Florida Statutes, this amendment shall follow the expedited state review process for adoption of comprehensive plan amendments. This process requires a public
hearing by the local planning agency (Planning Board), a public transmittal hearing before the City Commission, after which the amendment must be transmitted to several state agencies for a 30-day review period, and a final adoption public hearing before the City Commission. The amendment is effective 31-days after it is adopted if there are no appeals.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW On January 7, 2025, the Planning Board held a public hearing and transmitted the proposed ordinance to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation (7-0).
