Development Services Center Performance and Financials
The committee will review how efficiently building permits, site designs, and other development services are being processed alongside quarterly financial updates.
Stop Loss Coverage and Plan Design Changes for Plan Year 2027
The city's self-funded employee health plan is running about $740,000 short of budget this year, and reserves have been repeatedly tapped in prior years. The committee chose option five — increased funding without another reserve buy-down — which may change what employees contribute starting January 2027.
Sale of Former Fire Station 81 Property
The agency postponed the sale of 2.46 acres of vacant land on Bruce Way and Randy Way to Crystal Bay Advisors and CBay LLC until March.
W. Atlantic Avenue Land Sale Cancellation
A downtown parcel the agency had agreed to sell to Dragonhorse Development is back in the city's hands after the deal fell through. The developer gets its $8,750 deposit back and the land will be re-marketed.
St. Rose & Bowes Townhome Subdivision & Waivers
Beazer Homes is building a 66-lot townhome community on an irregular parcel near St. Rose Parkway and Bowes Avenue. Because of the unusual lot shape, the project required several waivers for tighter building spacing, narrower streets, and reduced parking and setbacks, which were offset by extra open space and bike trail connections.
St. Rose Hospitality Partners Hotel Development
A new 96-room, four-story hotel will fill the final vacant parcel in the Seven Hills Commercial Center on St. Rose Parkway. The project exceeds city codes for landscaping and parking and brings lodging to the commercial corridor.
