1 BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REGULAR WORKSHOP TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 2026 – 5:00 PM CITY HALL CHAMBERS 10451 GULF BLVD TREASURE ISLAND, FL 33706 MINUTES A. CALL TO ORDER AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mayor Doctor called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m. and led in the pledge of allegiance. Present: Mayor John Doctor Vice Mayor Tammy Vasquez Commissioner Chris Clark Commissioner Arthur Czyszczon Commissioner Arden Dickey B. DISCUSSION B.1 Raftelis Commercial Redevelopment Master Plan Financial Redevelopment Scenarios Presentation City Manager Charlie Van Zant introduced Ms. Sheryl Trent, Raftelis, who introduced Steven McDonald and Thierry Boveri, Raftelis, and began the presentation contained in background material. Mr. McDonald reviewed the presentation regarding economic analysis. Commissioner Clark asked why density was not referenced as a factor limiting feasibility. Mr. McDonald said density was a restriction, but the combination of floor area ratio (FAR), parking, and height restrictions prevented someone from reaching the density limit. Commissioner Dickey wondered if density would become an issue if parking and FAR were eased. Mr. McDonald agreed that variances for parking, FAR, and height would allow for an increased density but emphasized that the modeling was done under current codes with no variances and resumed the presentation. Ms. Trent paused the presentation for questions. Commissioner Czyszczon wanted to see numbers. Mr. McDonald reviewed the Thunderbird case in the presentation. Commissioner Czyszczon asked why there was parking on each floor of the proposed building. Mr. McDonald stated the model presumed interior parking with rooms wrapped around the garage and 5

2 highlighted even four floors of parking did not meet minimum parking requirements and would require a variance. Commissioner Dickey did not understand why 57 hotel rooms required 217 parking spaces. Mr. McDonald said amenities like event spaces, restaurants, and retail required additional parking. Commissioner Czyszczon confirmed there were not sufficient parking spaces. Mr. McDonald said the retail and restaurant space could be removed, which would require less parking and allow more hotel rooms, but the space would not be a resort- level hotel and resumed the presentation. Commissioner Clark asked how many rooms and parking spaces were present on the site before the storms and did not believe there were that many parking spaces before the closure. Mr. McDonald acknowledged many City properties did not conform to code. Ms. Trent said it was likely that the building was built under different codes. Commissioner Czyszczon said the building was grandfathered in for 106 rooms. Mr. McDonald resumed the presentation on alternate feasibility. Vice Mayor Vasquez noted that $45 per square foot was generous in the analysis. Commissioner Dickey believed the cost per square foot was too generous. Mr. McDonald said the price per square foot was an average of different uses. Ms. Trent confirmed that the Thunderbird was not feasible under the current code but there was potential. Mr. McDonald reiterated the feasibility limits and said additional height could be added landward to accommodate additional features and that there was not a single height, FAR, or density that would work for the entire community. Ms. Trent said the presentation would inform the additional work on revising the City’s codes. Commissioner Dickey asked if it was possible to have the economic model shown in the previous workshop. Mr. McDonald felt the model was intended for use, could be complicated, but the model could be changed. Mr. Trent said the model was not part of the scope of the work, only the results, and was not available to the Commission. C. PUBLIC COMMENT Mr. Mark Hohe, District 3, did not believe that sufficient demand for that level of hotel existed and did not think the island could support it. Ms. Sarah Pennington, District 2, believed the feasibility was based on hypothetical land value and believed the hypothetical model should have addressed parking requirements. Mr. West Evans, Isle of Palms, was concerned to see that parking requirements were not changed in the hypothetical model and wished the presentation had addressed how the existing hotel room allowance could be accommodated. Mr. Robert Bozzo, St. Petersburg, was disappointed that the master plan was not a visualization of the City, did not want to see the numbers, and felt the City wanted to see images of the potential increased height. Mr. Grant Smith, Sunset Beach, felt the fact that the economic model would not be released was problematic and hoped the Commission would demand the model. 6

3 Commissioner Czyszczon thought the master plan was flawed, the contract should be terminated and a parking garage should be built in the park. D. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 5:58 p.m. _________________________ John Doctor, Mayor Attest: ___________________________ Lisa-Marie V. Kennedy, City Clerk 7

1 BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REGULAR MEETING TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 2026 – 6:00 PM CITY HALL CHAMBERS 10451 GULF BLVD TREASURE ISLAND, FL 33706 MINUTES A. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mayor Doctor called the meeting to order at 6:10 p.m. B. ROLL CALL Present: Mayor John Doctor Vice Mayor Tammy Vasquez Commissioner Chris Clark Commissioner Arthur Czyszczon Commissioner Arden Dickey C. APPROVAL OF REGULAR AND WORKSHOP AGENDAS Commissioner Czyszczon wanted G.4., Authorize use of a Piggyback Agreement with Cross Construction Services for Demolition and Abatement Services, moved to Items of Business. Mayor Doctor said the item would become Item H.5. D. PROCLAMATIONS, RECOGNITIONS, CERTIFICATES OF APPRECIATION – None. E. PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR NON-AGENDA ITEMS Mr. West Evans, Isle of Palms, wanted a grand scheme for the living shoreline and was concerned about mangroves around Treasure Bay. Mr. Buzzy Barnett, District 3, felt the City deserved a better Commission that was working toward a better community, advocated for City Manager Charles Van Zant, spoke on the reputation of the City, and credited improvements in City operations to Mr. Van Zant. Mr. Mark Hohe, District 3, was disappointed to not see a facilitated discussion on the planned development (PD) compromise proposed by Vice Mayor Vasquez on July 21, 2026, and to see the un-changed PD on the agenda for the evening. 8

2 Ms. Marie Barba, Sunset Beach, advocated for Mr. Van Zant and did not feel the complaints by Vice Mayor Vasquez followed the appropriate process and the complaints should not be reiterated every meeting, and believed there was a Sunshine Law violation when a Commissioner discussed policy with a member of the LPA board. Mr. Robert Bozzo, St. Petersburg, voiced support for Mr. Van Zant, believed the City’s reputation was embarrassing, and wanted the investigation stopped. After announcing that all Charter Officers, along with City staff, were guaranteed protection from harassment, and City Commission and public participation was welcomed and encouraged, Mayor Doctor stated the meeting was a limited public forum and comments should be relevant to the matters before the Commission and shall not include personal attacks directed to any employee or staff member of the City, and, as the presiding officer, he would conduct the meeting within that standard. Mayor Doctor then requested consensus from the Commission to direct the City Attorney to draft language reflecting the policy for inclusion in the Board rules so the expectation was clearly and formatted documented. The Commission consented. F. APPROVAL OF MINUTES – None. G. CONSENT AGENDA G.1 Accept and Execute the FY 26-27 Hurricane Loss Mitigation Grant Agreement G.2 Resolution 2026-08, Naming City-Owned Parking Lots Within the City of Treasure Island, and Allowing Purchase of New City Signage G.3 Treasure Island Living Shoreline Project Submerged Land Easement Recording G.4 Authorize use of a Piggyback Agreement with Cross Construction Services for Demolition and Abatement Services (Moved to Item H.5) Attorney Ralf Brookes read Resolution 2026-08 by title only. Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to approve the Consent Agenda, minus G.4, as presented, seconded by Commissioner Czyszczon, and carried five to zero. H. ITEMS OF BUSINESS H.1 Ordinance 2026-10 Planned Development (PD) - Second and Final Reading and Public Hearing City Attorney Ralf Brookes read the ordinance by title only. Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to approve and adopt Ordinance 2026-10 at the second and final reading and public hearing, seconded by Commissioner Czyszczon. (The motion was subsequently withdrawn.) Commissioner Czyszczon wanted to move the PD forward along with a Citywide Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan) amendment on the PD zoned areas and said he was okay with limiting the height to 80 feet. Vice Mayor Vasquez said Raftelis relayed a Comp Plan amendment would be needed if a PD application was presented. Commissioner Czyszczon said the amendment would be needed for properties with PD zoning. 9

3 Commissioner Clark was against blanket height and zoning increases, would not support Commissioner Czyszczon’s suggestion, believed the workshop presentation was helpful for things that could be added to a PD ordinance, supported PD guardrails, was opposed to the ordinance as presented, believed if there were considerable changes to the PD it would have to go back to a first reading, and reiterated he wanted the master plan completed prior to adopting a PD ordinance. Vice Mayor Vasquez believed the PD ordinance and Master Plan could be done in parallel with adjustments after the master plan was adopted and Commissioner Dickey’s and Commissioner Clark’s compromises were never added to a workshop for discussion. Commissioner Clark stated the Terrain Modification Manual was passed with the promise of alterations with disastrous results. Mayor Doctor wanted to call Mr. Richard Harris, Chairman of Planning and Zoning/Local Planning agency to address questions. Mayor Doctor asked if the ordinance was an enabling ordinance. Attorney Brookes said the ordinance was an enabling ordinance that allowed applications for PD zoning that was consistent with the Comp Plan. Mayor Doctor reiterated the Comp Plan was the guardrail. Attorney Brookes said if an applicant wanted to exceed the Comp Plan, they would have to do a Comp Plan amendment, and PD would possibly change items in the Land Development Regulations but the codes would stay the same. Mayor Doctor wanted to return to the enabling part of the ordinance. Attorney Brookes said a PD would need to be properly noticed and would come before the Commission and without a PD ordinance, no one could apply for a PD application and the existing zoning would stay the same. Mayor Doctor asked if there were any dangers to moving forward. Answering Mayor Doctor, Attorney Brookes said if the Commission added additional guardrails to the PD ordinance, the ordinance would need to be re-noticed into a Comp Plan amendment and stated the ordinance did not increase height and density allowances, and if the Commission wanted to increase height and density allowances a Comp Plan amendment PD ordinance would need to be done concurrently. Mayor Doctor confirmed height and density would not be changed if the ordinance was adopted that night. Commissioner Czyszczon asked if a motion was required to increase height restrictions to 80 feet. Attorney Brookes said that change would require readvertisement. Mayor Doctor was unsure why the Commission would make that change. Principal Planner Braydon Evans said there was no height limitation in the Comp Plan. Vice Mayor Vasquez wanted confirmation that an application would be evaluated based on its surrounding properties. Planner Evans and Attorney Brookes explained there were standard review criteria that would be considered, including evaluating adjoining properties for conformity. Vice Mayor Vasquez asked if a Comp Plan change was needed for PD zoning in future. Commissioner Clark could not vote for the item without a high limitation. Commissioner Czyszczon asked if a limitation of 80 feet was included, then there could be support for a PD ordinance after re-advertisement. Vice Mayor Vasquez said the applicants were still limited under other regulations. Attorney Brookes said the ordinance could be readvertised with a height limitation. Answering Mayor Doctor, Attorney Brookes said the enabling ordinance would allow applicants to apply for uses that were outside their current use and change floor area ratio or other restrictions. 10

4 Commissioner Czyszczon would only support the ordinance if there was a limitation of 80 feet even if it required readvertisement. Mayor Doctor agreed with the 80 feet but reiterated concerns that the enabling ordinance was a waste because it did not do anything. Attorney Brookes said the ordinance did not need to be adopted. Vice Mayor Vasquez asserted City Attorney Becky Vose said the height limitation could be adopted without readvertising the ordinance. Mayor Doctor believed a more restrictive change did not need to be readvertised. Attorney Brookes believed the change could be made and win a legal challenge. Commissioner Czyszczon said 60 feet did not work and thought a limit was needed and wanted a Comp Plan amendment. Vice Mayor Vasquez said she could make an amendment to limit the height to 80 feet with design flood elevation. Planner Evans said design flood elevation was higher than base flood elevation. Mayor Doctor wanted confirmation the 80 feet did not need an additional first reading. Attorney Brookes said the change could move forward and would be defensible. Vice Mayor Vasquez withdrew the motion. Commissioner Dickey said the ordinance include RFM-30 and believed the Commission agreed the area should be excluded, thought a discussion on proposed PD compromises would occur at the current meeting, reiterated opposition to RFM-30 being included, wanted to have a discussion on height and density, felt a PD ordinance would be beneficial but wanted guardrails on height and density, did not want the limitations to be the County maximum, and did not believe it made sense to adopt the ordinance before the Master Plan was completed. Attorney Brookes said if density was increased there needed to be a companion plan amendment to increase density to ensure consistency. Mayor Doctor asked if that would restart the process. Attorney Brookes confirmed a density change would restart the process. Commissioner Dickey felt RFM-30 should be removed. Commissioner Czyszczon felt the PD application would come before the Planning and Zoning Board and Local Planning agency (PZ/LPA) and the City Commission. Commissioner Clark was okay with RFM-30 being removed. Attorney Brookes said RFM-30 could be removed without readvertisement. Commissioner Czyszczon did not want RFM-30 removed. Vice Mayor Vasquez did not care if RFM-30 was removed. Mayor Doctor agreed RFM-30 could be removed. Commissioner Dickey wanted confirmation that RFM-30 would be removed. Vice Mayor Vasquez asked if 80- foot elevation was added as a limitation and RFM-30 was removed, if Commissioner Dickey would vote for the ordinance. Commissioner Dickey said he would not. Commissioner Czyszczon asked to see where RFM-30 was on a map. Mayor Doctor called for public comments. Mr. David Scott Elliot, Resident, was disappointed so much was being discussed, felt the language was ambiguous, and wanted the item moved forward. Ms. Sarah Pennington, District 2, asserted there was a lot of confusion around the ordinance, believed there was no rush, was disappointed there was not more discussion on the compromises proposed by Vice Mayor Vasquez, spoke on the negative impacts of increased height and density, and did not believe developers deserved special variances because of financial hardship. 11

5 Mr. Marvin Shavlan, District 3, remarked that it had been one year since the Thunderbird Hotel had requested a small scale Comp amendment, advocated for ordinance adoption with a 60- day delay and then add an amendment, was an opponent of small scale amendments and wanted a Comp Plan amendment that applied to all PD zoned properties, and wanted the PD ordinance passed and delayed until a Comp Plan amendment could be passed. Mr. West Evans, Isle of Palms, believed it was an issue that RFM-30 was included, felt that a 60-day delay was ridiculous, and the Commission should spend time learning about the process. Mr. Scott McKinney, Isle of Capri, wanted the City to move forward, touched on guardrails, and suggested RFM-30 and RFM-50 have different restrictions. Mr. Mark Hohe, District 3, lamented that there was an opportunity for compromise that was missed, did not like the ordinance being rushed, and said it was not too late to discuss the compromise. Ms. Marie Barba, Sunset Beach, touched on height design measurements, feasibility studies, PD impacts and history, and praised the City’s rebuilding since the 2024 hurricanes. Ms. Laura Rubenstein, Hill Ward Henderson, representing the Thunderbird Hotel, argued for the PD ordinance so developers could negotiate restrictions, reiterated the PD ordinance did not allow for increased density, stated height had to be compatible with other design criteria, the Commission could consider proposals, and reiterated no PD application had to be granted. Mr. Richard Harris, 374 Bay Plaza, explained the PD ordinance impacts, said RFM-30 should be removed, the 80-foot restriction added, said there were eleven properties that would immediately benefit, and, if passed, developers would come in for rezoning. Attorney Brookes clarified that if a height restriction was added, the ordinance needed to be readvertised. Commissioner Czyszczon did not want the ordinance challenged and asked if TI- 2 acres was part of the RFM-30, relayed Raftelis told him that RFM-30 should be included and felt there was no need to eliminate the area. Planner Evans showed a zoning map, highlighting the location of RFM-30. Commissioner Czyszczon said there were temporary lodging buildings in RFM-30 and stated 108th and 104th Avenues were also part of RFM-30. Planner Evans confirmed. Commissioner Czyszczon said he would not support the PD if RFM-30 was removed and felt the Comp Plan amendment should run parallel. Commissioner Clark was concerned that Mayor Doctor did not know
