BACKGROUND:
Background
At the March 29, 2025, City Commission meeting, the Commission approved a Zoning in Progress for the Activity Center Overlay update through Resolution No. 2025-49. Axis Infrastructure was tasked with evaluating and recommending amendments to the overlay’s permitted uses, mix of uses, density and intensity standards, and architectural design standards to promote a walkable, mixed-use environment that supports a variety of retail, dining, lodging, and housing options.
On May 6, 2025, the Commission approved the mid-year budget, which included $85,000 in funding for Phase 1 of the Activity Center Overlay update. Although the request for the related purchase order was submitted on June 9, 2025, it did not complete the internal approval process before the June 23, 2025, Commission meeting. At that meeting, the City Commission rescinded the recently adopted purchasing policy, thereby reinstating the requirement that all purchase orders exceeding $25,000 be brought before the Commission for approval. As a result, the purchase order for this project will require formal Commission approval before work on Phase 1 can proceed. Phase 2 of the Activity Center Overlay update will be initiated and completed in the next fiscal year as part of the Comprehensive Plan update.
