STAFF REPORT
This ordinance is an amendment to the sidewalk regulations found in Land Development Code Section 30-6.18 to include language that would allow, in certain circumstances, infill single-family dwelling construction to pay into the City's TMPA program rather than meet certain sidewalk construction requirements. The option would not apply to multi-family developments, nonresidential developments, or the development of new single-family subdivisions. On May 27, 2021, the City Plan Board held a public hearing and voted to recommend that the City Commission approve this amendment to the Land Development Code. This ordinance requires two hearings and shall become effective immediately upon adoption at second reading.
