Summary of Proceedings

Dunedin Local Planning Agency Regular Meeting – June 10, 2026

The Local Planning Agency (LPA) met on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at 6:00 PM at City Hall, 737 Louden Ave. The meeting lasted approximately 15 minutes and focused on approving prior meeting minutes and forwarding a recommendation to the City Commission on a proposed ordinance to amend the Historic Preservation chapter of the Land Development Code. The board acted on two agenda items with unanimous votes.

Consent Calendar

Approval of Meeting Minutes (May 13, 2026) – The minutes of the previous LPA meeting were approved by a unanimous voice vote (motion by Michael Broom, second by James Johns) with no corrections or additions.

Discussion Items

Recommendation to the City Commission regarding Ordinance 25-02 (Amending Chapter 111, Historic Preservation) and Resolution 25-13 (Amending the Certificate of Appropriateness Matrix) – Staff Planner Frances Leong Sharp presented the revised draft ordinance. Key changes since the LPA’s last review in July 2025 include removal of provisions for creating historic districts and other minor edits made in response to state and National Park Service comments, which were required to maintain the city’s status as a Certified Local Government. The Historic Preservation Advisory Committee (HPAC) had recommended approval unanimously on May 14, 2026. Member Deborah Kynes recused herself from deliberations and voting because she chairs HPAC. During board questions, James Johns noted the continued use of a rolling 50-year age criterion for historic landmarks; staff clarified that age is only one of several criteria and that the language reflects state standards. Vice Chair Paul Stanek confirmed that the ordinance would still require two readings before the City Commission despite using the same ordinance number from the prior year. No public comments were offered.

Key Outcomes

Motion to Recommend Approval – A motion by Michael Broom, seconded by James Johns, to recommend that the City Commission approve Ordinance 25-02 and Resolution 25-13 carried 4–0 (with Deborah Kynes recused). The vote was unanimous among the four voting members present.
