17. Ordinance No. 2026-18, Certificate of Occupancy Process: (First

City Council Meeting · 2026-04-14 · agenda_item

The City of Melbourne is proposing a new ordinance, Ordinance No. 2026-18, to create a new process for certificates of occupancy and certificates of engineering construction completeness. This ordinance would amend City Code Appendix D, Chapter 13, Article II, by adding a new Division 7. The proposal is currently under review, having passed the Planning and Zoning Board on March 19, 2026, and is scheduled for its first reading and public hearing before the City Council on April 14, 2026. This planned ordinance change will establish new procedures for building and engineering construction verification. While no specific construction projects are detailed, the new process will likely impact future development by requiring new steps for project approval and completion. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers involved in construction and development should monitor this ordinance's progress as it may affect permitting and inspection requirements for future work.
