Okeechobee Road self-storage redevelopment
A package of land use, rezoning, variance and alley-closure approvals lets a property owner build a self-storage facility with ground-floor retail next to a 90-year-old resident's home. Supporters say it quiets truck traffic and adds tax value; opponents say it eliminates housing-suitable land and their neighborhood complaints remain unresolved.
Condo association burdens and resident outreach
Owners at Courtyard Manors described alleged HOA fraud, unpaid contractors, and dangerous building conditions. The mayor announced an executive order creating a condominium task force with the state DBPR, with a public session Monday, March 16.
Permitting delays trapping property owners
A resident described years of litigation and permit delays preventing her from fixing code violations, asking the council to fix interdepartmental coordination. She was referred to constituent services.
