The document states the SID consists of 29 single family residential parcels, with single family houses assigned 1 ERU and undeveloped lots assigned .8 ERUs. Staff recommends keeping the current methodology, finding no basis for different trip generation based on lot size. Item 2 is an agenda item for a public hearing to amend Ordinance #2024-088, the FY27 Hospital Assessment, a non-ad valorem special assessment on participating hospitals at 0.05% of gross patient revenue, to comply with Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) guidance. The document includes the full text of the proposed amended ordinance (Ordinance No. 2026-) and the original ordinance (Ordinance No. 20264-08). No decision is stated for either item; the agenda date is 7/14/2026. Public comment sentiment is stated for Item 1: the developer requested the 60:40 ratio change, arguing larger lots have larger homes and more residents generating more trips, but no actual data was presented. Staff rejected this rationale, noting a smaller home may have more people and that lot size does not determine house size, population, vehicles, or road use frequency. No public comment is stated for Item 2.
