RELATING TO THE RULES OF PROCEDURE OF THE BCC

Housing Committee · 2026-04-14 · ordinance

This ordinance, File Number 260035, proposes amendments to the Rules of Procedure of the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) to require public meetings for housing projects, including public housing and affordable housing development or redevelopment. The ordinance was introduced on 1/8/2026 and is currently in committee. A key amendment discussed requires a minimum of three public meetings, phased throughout the project lifecycle, with costs borne by the selected developer. These meetings would be held in a manner, including virtual options, to allow for greater resident participation. The Housing Committee deferred the item on 3/10/2026 because the sponsor did not accept the committee's amendments. The Board of County Commissioners adopted the ordinance on first reading on 2/18/2026.
