COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, PURSUANT TO THE EXPEDITED STATE REVIEW
PROCESS OF SECTION 163.3184(3), FLORIDA STATUTES, BY AMENDING THE

RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission (City Commission) approve
the subject ordinance at First Reading and schedule a Second Reading public hearing for April
23, 2025.
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

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
