Uh first item on the agenda for under new business.

We have an ordinance.

Um council, can you read the ordinance into the record?

Yes, yes, madam chair.

This is ordinance number zero six dash twenty twenty-six, an ordinance of the city of Del Tona, Florida, establishing a new Article Three, Small Wireless Facilities of Chapter 82, Communication Antennas and Towers within the land development code of the City of Del Tona's code of ordinances in order to comply with Florida statutes and best practices, providing for conflicts, codification, severability, and an effective date.

Good evening, Madam Chair, members of the planning and zoning board.

I'm Jordan Smith, Community Development Services Director for the City of Del Tona.

The item before you is ordinance numbers zero six dash twenty twenty-six, which proposes amendments to chapter eighty-two of the land development code related to communication antennas, towers, and wireless communication facilities.

And then in 2019, the legislator expanded those preemptions further limited limiting local government authority over placement and approval of wireless infrastructure.

So

these amendments are necessary to bring the city's land development code into compliance with current state law.

They also provide objective standards that allow the city to continue regulating placement design and safety to the extent permitted by

law.

The proposed ordinance creates Section 82 120 through 82-133 and establishes regulations addressing application procedures and review timelines, placement standards within right-of-way, design and concealment requirements, equipment and lighting restrictions, and compliance with building electrical and safety codes.

And

based on staff's review, the proposed amendments are consistent with the comprehensive plan and applicable state law.

Therefore, staff recommends that the planning and zoning board recommend approval of ordinance numbers 06-2026 to the city commission.

The item is scheduled for first reading before the city commission on May 4th.

Now there may be some questions that you you all may be asking.
