The Spring Hill City Council on Jan. 9 approved a package of ordinances, resolutions and professional agreements addressing land use, public safety and city engineering work.

The council voted to adopt Ordinance No. 2025-01 approving conditional-use permit CUP-24-1 for a 10-by-30 V-shaped off-premise billboard at 20500 W. 180th Terrace, and to adopt Ordinance No. 2025-02 amending multiple sections of Chapter 17 of the Spring Hill Municipal Code to authorize and define microdistilleries as conditional uses in certain districts. Both ordinances passed on recorded roll calls, 5-0.

Separately, the council adopted multiple resolutions finding unsafe or dangerous structures at several addresses and directing repair or demolition. The governing body also approved a master services agreement listing 19 engineering and architecture firms for on-call professional services, a task order for Lamp Ry Nierenson (Lampre/Nielsen) for the 2025 street maintenance program, and contract amendments for the 190 Ninth Street project.

Why it matters: the decisions set regulatory rules for new commercial uses, authorize cleanup or demolition of unsafe properties, and put engineering capacity and street-maintenance work under contract ahead of spring construction and storm seasons.
