AGENDA ITEM NO. 6A. Item Cover Page DATE: February 13, 2025 SUBMITTED BY: Kathryn Younkin, Community Development ITEM TYPE: Resolutions AGENDA SECTION: PRESENTATION OF ITEMS SUBJECT: Request to approve Resolution 2025-01 recommending adoption of Ordinance 2025-01 creating a temporarily expanded time frame for Special Events. BACKGROUND: In response to the extreme damage caused to structures in the city in the wake of three hurricanes in 2024, and two major hurricanes which damaged most structures in the city, staff has recommended the changes outlined in the Ordinance to allow businesses to operate on a temporary basis while the permanent structures are being repaired. POLICY/PURPOSE: To provide relief to business owners in the post storm / reconstruction environment. STRATEGIC PLAN RELEVANCE: Goal 1: Foster a vibrant business community Objective 2: Implement the Economic Development Vision Bold Action 1: Perform a review of local ordinances and Land Development Regulations Bold Action 2: Update the City’s Comprehensive Plan, local ordinances, and Land Development Regulations ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: Staff has brought forward a change to the Special Event section of Chapter 68 Land Development regulations for Special Events. Special events are defined in Sect 68-2 as: Special event means an approved activity that can be either recurring or non- LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY AGENDA ITEM REPORT 2

recurring. Such event is usually for a short duration of time and is usually an entertainment, education, cultural, or neighborhood event including, but not limited to, activities such as organized neighborhood yard sales, neighborhood block parties, wedding receptions on the beach, spaghetti dinners, special beach events, beach clean-ups, outdoor concerts and movies, outdoor morning markets, bazaars, parades, and carnivals. Such events extend beyond the normal uses and standards allowed by the land development regulations of the city. The city's current regulations limit special events to 9 days, and this proposed Ordinance will allow businesses that are in the process of rebuilding to extend the approval of events to six months, with an option for two additional three-month extensions. For instance, a restaurant may have food trucks, tents, restroom trailers, or other amenities as long as sufficient parking remains. Events will still be subject to conditions of approval as listed in the code for compliance with parking, lighting, noise, or hours of operation that will be set out in the specific approval. FUNDING: N/A MOTION: I move to approve Resolution 2025-01 recommending that the City Commission approve Ordinance 2025-01.

Page 3 of 4 A. Summary of the proposed ordinance (must include a statement of the public purpose to be served by the proposed ordinance, such as serving the public health, safety, morals and welfare of the City): Both Hurricane Helene in September 2024 and Hurricane Milton in October 2024, caused storm surge and high winds which caused significant damage to properties in the city. The City wished to provide relief from some of the existing City Code of Ordinances and Land Development Regulations (“Code”) time restrictions on special events, in this time of substantial repair, elevation, and reconstruction. The current regulations restrict special events to a 9-day period and in order to support the business community this Ordinance provides an opportunity to operate in a temporary manner for a longer time period (up to six months initially with 2 additional three month extensions available) while their buildings are under construction. B. An estimate of the direct economic impact of the proposed ordinance on private, for- profit businesses in the City, including the following, if any: (1) An estimate of direct compliance costs that businesses may reasonably incur if the ordinance is enacted; The only cost would be the already existing cost for application for a Special Event permit, this Ordinance allows the time of the event to be extended. (2) Identification of any new charge or fee on businesses subject to the proposed ordinance, or for which businesses will be financially responsible; and There is no new charge or fee. (3) An estimate of the City’s regulatory costs, including an estimate of revenues from any new charges or fees that will be imposed on businesses to cover such costs. The regulatory costs would be the same as they are now, which involves a permit fee for the review of the special event application. This application may be reviewed by several departments and may include , building, zoning, floodplain, fire, police and public works, dependent on the complexity of the request. This existing fee is either $100 (staff review) or $200 (City Commission review). 13

Page 4 of 4 (4) Any other direct economic impacts of the proposed ordinance on private, for-profit businesses in the City that are not covered by (1), (2), or (3): Having multiple options for visitors may increase business for other businesses within the city. C. Good faith estimate of the number of businesses likely to be impacted by the ordinance: All businesses in Treasure Island which have not yet opened post storm could potentially benefit from this Ordinance. D. Additional information the governing body deems useful (if any): [You may wish to include in this section the methodology or data used to prepare the Business Impact Estimate. For example: City staff solicited comments from businesses in the City as to the potential impact of the proposed ordinance by contacting the chamber of commerce, social media posting, direct mail or direct email, posting on City website, public workshop, etc. You may also wish to include efforts made to reduce the potential fiscal impact on businesses. You may also wish to state here that the proposed ordinance is a generally applicable ordinance that applies to all persons similarly situated (individuals as well as businesses) and, therefore, the proposed ordinance does not affect only businesses). 14
