Pasco County commissioners approve multiple code and plan amendments on consent agenda; CDBG‑DR amendment opens 30‑day comment period
Summary
On the consent agenda commissioners approved ordinances updating the foreclosure registry, local provider participation fund, flood prevention and building code amendments, and comprehensive plan text changes. Separately, the county opened a HUD‑required 30‑day public comment period on a substantial CDBG‑DR action plan amendment for disaster recovery programs.
Pasco County commissioners approved a slate of ordinance and comprehensive‑plan amendments on the consent agenda at the June meeting.
Items approved included an amendment to the county’s foreclosure registry (P49) expanding the definition of a local agent for registration purposes; an amendment to the Local Provider Participation Fund (P50) supporting hospital assistance programs; companion amendments to the land development code and building code addressing flood‑damage prevention (P51 and P52); and text changes to the comprehensive plan to support redevelopment and higher density in targeted areas (P53). Each item was presented by staff and adopted on the consent agenda by voice or roll call, with no speakers registered in opposition.
The board also received a presentation and opened a HUD‑required 30‑day public comment window on a substantial amendment to the county’s CDBG‑DR (Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery) action plan, known as the Better Future Program (P57). Office of Disaster Recovery Resources staff said the amendment is primarily clarifying and adds limited programmatic adjustments — including a modest increase in the maximum reconstruction award for single‑wide manufactured homes and the ability to offer down‑payment assistance loans — and will be finalized after public comments that end on June 18.
Representative action: The board moved and approved the consent items with roll‑call votes; the CDBG‑DR amendment remains in public comment and will be returned to the board after the comment period concludes.
Next steps: Clerk’s office to publish adopted ordinances and staff to collect CDBG‑DR public comments and submit a final amendment to HUD.
