• The issue of boardinghouses and Roominghouses was presented to City Commission Conference meeting on 11th, October 2021 and thereafter to Planning Board on 12th, June 2023.
• The direction provided to staff by the Planning Board was to return with a definition of number of rooms and a review of additional zoning districts as conditional uses. (PB minutes attached).

In addition, a number of amendments to the City's Code of Ordinances are required to address the above code amendments and to remove conflicts within the Code and to amend the code to reflect recent amendments to Florida State Statutes:

Sec. 126-187. Allowed Uses, Boardinghouse and Roominghouse, Single-Family/Mobile Home units, and Home Occupations
