Meeting

The real action on this agenda is development finance, not the smaller operating contracts. Items 9.A through 9.G tee up a stack of promissory notes and TDR actions tied to approved site plans, including MB RE Investments and the La Playa entities. The numbers are the story: $13,040,479.34 for FAR bonuses, $13,609,370.25 for TDRs, a 137,977.26 square foot and 58 unit TDR transfer, plus another set of notes for Phase I South Tower and Phase II North Tower totaling tens of millions more. That is the city monetizing density approvals and development rights through structured payment terms rather than treating them as small administrative sign offs. The second order read is simple: large projects keep moving, but with formalized obligations to the city that lock in who owes what. The other substantive lane is process and control. The Town Center North and Neighborhood Business vision document, the administrative site plan ordinance, the sign posting ordinance, the scooter ordinance, and the budget amendment all point to the city tightening how growth, notice, and street level activity are managed. Several policy resolutions are more political than binding, including the parking fee waiver policy, beach event permit directive, inspector general directive, open checkbook directive, and the censure item. They matter as signals about where commission factions want to push oversight and resident access, but the binding money items are the development notes, construction and inspection contracts, and the capital purchases. The rest is mostly governance positioning and housekeeping.

Key decisions

1. Promissory note for MB RE Investments FAR bonuses, $13,040,479.34

   Pending

   Would approve payment terms for more than $13 million in approved FAR bonuses tied to site plan PZ2025 08, converting a density approval into a formal receivable owed to the city.

2. Promissory note for MB RE Investments TDR payment, $13,609,370.25

   Pending

   Would set the payment terms for more than $13.6 million in transferable development rights for the same approved site plan, pairing project entitlement with a structured obligation to the city.

3. Transfer of TDRs from La Playa Beach Associates, LLC to La Playa 2, LLC

   Pending

   Would authorize transfer of 137,977.26 square feet of floor area and 58 dwelling units, shifting development capacity between related properties and clarifying where that value sits.

4. Promissory notes for Phase I South Tower and Phase II North Tower FAR bonuses and TDRs

   Pending

   Would approve four separate notes totaling more than $33.5 million for FAR bonuses and TDR payments on the South Tower and North Tower portions of an already approved site plan, showing the city is formalizing long range collection from major tower phases.

5. Third amendment with M.T. Causley, LLC for structural inspection and plans review services

   Pending

   Would extend as needed structural inspection and plan review capacity up to $250,000, which is an operational support item that tracks with a city still processing complex construction activity.

6. Agreement with Shiff Construction and Development, Inc. for Gateway Pedestrian Bridge elevator enclosures

   Pending

   Would spend up to $238,625 on elevator enclosures for the pedestrian bridge, a targeted infrastructure fix rather than a new mobility project.

7. First amendment with MBR Construction, Inc. for Intracoastal Sports Park

   Pending

   Would grant additional time for final completion and additional compensation for the sports park project, which usually means the city is absorbing a schedule and cost adjustment to get the job finished.

8. Ordinance amending sign posting requirements at community and commercial sites

   Pending

   Would require certain signs without a permit under Chapter 265, increasing mandatory notice obligations at affected properties rather than expanding development rights.

9. Resolution approving a vision document for Town Center North and Neighborhood Business districts

   Pending

   Would adopt a policy level vision for Town Center North and neighborhood business areas, which does not itself rezone property but frames the next round of land use and redevelopment arguments.
