CITY COMMISSION AGENDA | JANUARY 27, 2025 REGULAR MEETING
TITLE
Second Reading of Ordinance 2025-01: Tree Removal, Land Clearing, Grading, and
Excavation Permits
SUMMARY
The Community Development Department has worked with the City Attorney’s Office
to draft proposed changes to Chapter 5, Tree Protection and Preservation, Chapter 9,
Land Development, and Chapter 20, Zoning, to clarify restrictions and requirements
related to land clearing (grubbing), excavation, and grading operations. In recent
months, staff has found that there has been confusion from developers pertaining to
when they had permission to begin land clearing after approval of a site plan by the
City Commission. In order to alleviate this confusion, this ordinance was drafted to add
clarifying language to the various chapters of the City Code. The City Attorney’s Office
drafted the proposed changes to the various chapters of the City Code. The Planning
and Zoning Board approved on January 02, 2025 to recommend to City Commission.
The first of two reading was approved by City Commission on January 13, 2025. Staff
recommends City Commission approve the second and final reading of Ordinance
2025-01.

WHEREAS, the City is granted the authority, under Section 2(b), Article VIII, of the

of business.
