Summary
The commission approved Ordinance 2024-02 as an emergency ordinance on first reading, permitting temporary housing for up to 36 months; one resident described the change as reasonable and the vote was unanimous.
Belleair Shores — At an advertised public hearing on Oct. 15, the Belleair Shores commission adopted Ordinance 2024-02, an emergency ordinance allowing temporary housing for up to 36 months.
Attorney Lewis read Ordinance 2024-02 by title and explained he had designated it an emergency ordinance so it could be adopted on first reading. The ordinance text as described by counsel allows temporary housing for periods up to 36 months.
A resident commented, "This seems very reasonable." Vice Mayor Storie moved to adopt the ordinance; Commissioner Tolbert seconded the motion and the voice vote was unanimous.
Attorney Lewis' emergency designation means the commission moved the ordinance through the first-reading step at the same meeting; any implementation specifics or administrative procedures were not detailed in the hearing record.
