What's next after the Local Planning Agency vote on Jupiter Inlet Colony's water plan
Summary
After the Local Planning Agency recommended approval of Ordinance 2026-02, the town will send the update to Florida Commerce and regional agencies for review; comments could require revisions and a second reading before adoption.
The Local Planning Agency forwarded Ordinance 2026-02, the town's 10-year water supply plan update, to the town commission and outlined the review sequence the town will follow. Planning consultant Lance Lilly said the agency will transmit the draft to the state planning agency (Florida Commerce) and other reviewers including the South Florida Water Management District, the county, and the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council.
Lilly noted that if any of those agencies submit comments, the town will revise the document and return it for a second reading before formal adoption. He emphasized the update replaces older regional references with the Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan (LEC WSP) and that the LEC WSP was updated on 09/23/2024, triggering a statutory 18-month window for local updates that Lilly said ends in March 2026.
The motion to recommend the ordinance for first reading was made from the floor and carried on a voice vote; the Local Planning Agency recorded five commissioners in attendance earlier in the meeting. There was no recorded dissent in the transcript. The commission will consider the ordinance at its upcoming meeting and the town will proceed with agency transmittal and any required edits.
