Council keeps ChenMore contract active for three priority code updates, asks staff for costs for remaining items
Facing new state laws (SB 180, HB 399), Juno Beach council directed ChenMore/ staff to proceed with sign code, landscape code and light-spillage updates this fiscal year and to return cost estimates for the other four code topics to inform the July budget process.
The full story
Town staff and consultant ChenMore (CMA) briefed council on the status of a multi-topic land-development cleanup contract. The contract originally had $75,000 allocated and about $14,516 had been spent; the remaining balance of roughly $60,000 was available. Staff explained that Senate Bill 180 restricts local governments from adopting more-burdensome land-development regulations until October 2027 (and can be re-triggered by storm-related declarations), and House Bill 399 requires objective residential-compatibility standards effective Jan. 1, 2027.
