Port Richey council adopts three land‑use ordinances and several administrative resolutions
Summary
At its Dec. 9 meeting the Port Richey City Council approved second readings for three land‑use ordinances (definitions/parking standards for senior and special‑needs housing, certified recovery residences, and plat/replat rules) and passed administrative resolutions on committee quorum, ethics training extensions, and a local property‑tax exemption opt‑out.
Port Richey’s City Council on Dec. 9 approved three second‑reading ordinances and a slate of administrative resolutions in a set of routine public hearings and council-business votes.
City Attorney Nancy Meyer read the second readings for Ordinance 25‑737 (amending the land development code to add definitions for assisted‑living and independent living and to update off‑street parking requirements for residential care and senior housing), Ordinance 25‑738 (creating certified recovery residences in the land development code), and Ordinance 25‑739 (revising plat and replat approval procedures). The council opened public hearings on each item; no members of the public signed up to speak. Each ordinance was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
In council business, members approved Resolution 25‑40 to amend the events committee quorum requirement, Resolution 25‑41 to extend the period for board and committee members to complete mandatory ethics training, and Resolution 25‑42 electing not to exempt certain property under the state’s local property tax exemption framework. City Attorney Meyer explained that the opt‑out resolution must be adopted annually under state statute to prevent certain types of property from receiving long‑term tax exemptions.
The council also approved a consent agenda earlier in the meeting and received updates from staff on a planned water‑main bid process and an upcoming waterfront workshop scheduled for Jan. 23.
All measures were approved by voice vote during the meeting.
