Ordinance No. 06-2026 updates Chapter 82 of the Land Development Code to address small wireless facilities in accordance with Section 337.401(7), Florida Statutes, and applicable federal law.

The amendments establish procedures, timelines, and design standards to ensure compliance with state law while addressing public safety, infrastructure coordination, and visual impacts. The changes are procedural in nature, do not change land use or density, are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the proposed ordinance at its regular meeting on April 29, 2026, and voted 7-0 to recommend approval by the Mayor and City Commission. At first reading, the City Commission voted 7-0 to approve Ordinance No. 06-2026. Between first and second reading, staff revised Section 82-123 to clarify that compliance with the Florida Building Code and National Electrical Code shall apply as amended from time to time. Staff recommends approval at second and final reading.
