Commission delegates plat and replat authority to city manager under new state law
Summary
Under 2025 state statutory changes, the commission designated the city manager as the administrative authority to receive, review and act on plats and replats. The law imposes a seven‑day review window and removes a public‑hearing requirement; commissioners asked staff to post notices and keep the body informed of incoming applications.
The commission approved a statutorily required resolution on Nov. 3 designating the city manager (or designee) as the administrative authority to receive, review and act upon plats and replats, a change required by Florida law (Laws of Florida 2025‑164).
City staff explained the law requires municipal appointment of an administrative reviewer and a seven‑day decision window on plats/replats; the statute eliminates a public‑hearing requirement for those actions. Commissioners expressed concern about public notice and asked staff to notify commissioners and post a list of incoming plat/replat applications on the city web site for transparency. The city attorney confirmed the commission may request internal notifications but may not impose extra statutory procedural requirements on applicants.
Commissioners approved the resolution and asked staff to return with details on notification procedures so the body can track incoming plat/replat filings while staff fulfills the statutory review duty.
