Ordinances and Public Hearings

• Quasi-judicial Hearing – Ordinance No. 32-2025 (First Reading): Proposed rezoning of approximately 7.93 acres located at 930 Howland Boulevard, along the East Howland Boulevard Corridor north of Pine Ridge High School, from Commercial (C-1) to Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD). The applicant plans a two-phase development consisting of a self-storage facility with office space on Lot 1 and future commercial development on Lot 2. The agenda states the MPUD allows a range of commercial uses while prohibiting incompatible uses such as discount retail, large-format stores, car washes, and certain automotive uses. The project would include enhanced landscaping, buffers, pedestrian connections, and stormwater management. A Traffic Impact Analysis reportedly confirms acceptable levels of service on Howland Boulevard. The agenda notes that the Planning and Zoning Board voted 4-3 to deny the request due to neighborhood compatibility and traffic concerns, while staff recommended the City Commission conduct a public hearing on the ordinance.
• Public Hearing – Ordinance No. 34-2025 (Second and Final Reading): Proposed amendment to reduce the minimum parcel size for Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) from five acres back to one acre, and to update the Permitted Use Table for PUD districts. The background explains that Ordinance No. 05-2025 (adopted April 7, 2025) increased the minimum from one acre to five acres; staff now recommends returning to one acre to provide greater flexibility for site design, infill, or redevelopment. At first reading, the Commission voted 4-2 in favor of the amendments. Staff recommends approval at second and final reading.
