City Council Meeting · 2026-04-14 · agenda_item

The City of Melbourne is considering a new ordinance, Ordinance No. 2026-18, that would 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 City of Melbourne is the applicant for this ordinance. This item is currently under review, having had a first reading and public hearing before the City Council and a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Board. The proposed ordinance would establish new procedures for building and engineering inspections and approvals. This process could lead to future work for contractors, engineers, and suppliers involved in construction projects. Early engagement with city planning and permitting departments is advised as this ordinance moves through the review process.
