Planning Board continues debate over LUDC changes for certified recovery residences

Apr 28, 2026

The board reviewed a revised draft LUDC amendment and application package aimed at establishing procedures for certified recovery residences, discussing occupancy tied to certification level (administrator may manage up to 50 residents, up to 100 with credentialing approval), application documentation, and enforcement steps including revocation and notice to credentialing entities.

The full story

Ms. Rippey, Principal Planner, summarized revisions to a draft Land Use and Development Code amendment and companion application materials intended to establish review and approval procedures for certified recovery residences. Staff and the Town Attorney removed fixed occupancy caps found to be inconsistent with Florida Statutes and tied occupancy to certification level and administrative oversight. The draft states a certified recovery residence administrator may manage up to 50 residents, or up to 100 residents with written justification and approval by the credentialing entity.
