Niceville council approves multiple ordinances, adopts state grant for Crossings Boulevard
The Niceville City Council on the evening’s agenda approved a package of ordinances and resolutions touching land use, building-code references, municipal accounting for development services and a state grant for road design.

At a public hearing, the council considered Ordinance 25-12-01, a parcel-specific rezoning request for property identified at 728–723 Powell Drive (parcel ID 061X-22-2100-0011-0060) to allow a two-unit townhome-style development. Planner staff said the item had a 4–0 Planning Commission recommendation; contractor Robert Cordier told the council he planned 3-bedroom units to replace a 900-square-foot home. No opponents came forward during the hearing.

Council also approved Ordinance 25-12-02, described by staff as a housekeeping update to align the city code with the most recent editions of the Florida Building Code and the National Electrical Code, a routine update jurisdictions make after the codes are revised.

In other business, the council approved an ordinance creating a development services special revenue fund to segregate building-permit and planning application fees into discrete subfunds. Manager and staff said the change "will allow us to track the revenues and expenses clearly going forward," and stressed statutory limits on how those fees may be used and on allowable reserves.

The council adopted a resolution accepting a $350,000 state appropriation for the design and engineering of Crossings Boulevard and authorized execution of the funding agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation; staff described that item as a required formality following legislative appropriation.

Votes were taken by voice for the listed items and no opposing public comment was recorded on those measures during the meeting. The council also approved a residential sanitation tipping-fee resolution and several other final-reading ordinances covering animal code updates and facility trespass procedures.

The meeting closed after reports from city departments and a period of public comment; resident Susan Hudson raised a separate code-enforcement and contractor dispute during the citizen remarks portion.

The council adjourned with no further action on the items listed.
