MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
VIA: Stan Morris, City Manager.
FROM: Amy Canales, Planning & Zoning Director.
DATE: August 21, 2025
RE: Declaring a "Zoning in Progress" for the Mixed Use -Resort, Town Center,
Neighborhood Business, and Business Overlay Districts
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff Recommends Approval of this Resolution.
REASONS:
In 2022 the City Commission directed the City Manager to proceed with an in-depth review into the
current state of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations. During this review,
inconsistencies were identified between the two regulating documents regarding allowable density and
intensity of development in particular zoning districts. The City Commission requires time to review,
study, hold public hearings, and prepare and adopt revisions to the City's Comprehensive Plan and Land
Development Regulations regarding these four (4) zoning districts. Until the City Commission has time
to review, study and hold public hearings, prepare and adopt revisions, the City Commission finds that it
is in the best interests of the City to declare that there is "zoning in progress" relating to these issues,
and that any application, inquiry, or submittal shall be made subject to the ultimate determinations to
be made by the City Commission.
The City Commission declared a "zoning in progress" on February 15, 2024 via resolution 2024-3626, on
J une 20, 2024 via resolution 2024-3665, on October 22, 2024 via resolution 2024-3734, on February 20,
2025 via Resolution 2025-3792, and on May 15, 2025 via Resolution 2025-3843. Pursuant to City Code
Sec. 265-16, the zoning in progress is, "in effect for a period from the date of notice until the subject
change, with or without amendments, shall have been approved or disapproved by the City Commission
or for a period of three months, whichever is sooner..." The City Commission needs more time to review,
study, hold public hearings, and prepare and adopt revisions and therefore needs to renew this zoning in

progress and therefore is declaring an additional zoning in progress.
