| TO: | City of New Port Richey City Council | | FROM: | Dale Hall, AICP, Community & Development Director | | DATE: | 3/4/2025 | | RE: | First Reading, Ordinance No. 2025-2316: Repealing ORD 2024-2305 Moratorium for Leisure Lane/Van Doren Avenue |
REQUEST:
The request is for City Council to conduct a first reading of an ordinance which would repeal Ordinance No. 2024-2305 that established a moratorium on building permits for annexed property along Leisure Lane and Van Doren Drive.
DISCUSSION:
On November 19, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2024-2305, which established a 180-day moratorium on building permits for recently annexed land along Leisure Lane and Van Doren Drive. The moratorium was established in order for Staff to have sufficient time to prepare the required land use amendment and rezoning. These efforts have now been completed and the moratorium is no longer necessary. The Land Development Review Board recommended repealing the moratorium at their December 19, 2024 meeting.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council conduct the first reading of an ordinance which would repeal Ordinance No. 2024-2305 that established a moratorium on building permits for annexed property along Leisure Lane and Van Doren Drive as submitted.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
This ordinance will allow for development to resume and future permitting fees to be submitted to the Planning and Development Department. Future development in this area will also increase the property values in this area. These changes will result in a minor increase in City revenue. | | | |
