Ms. Singer also stated that the Planning Department will be making some code changes. The Planning Department is in the process of implementing Accela, which is the same permitting software that the County uses as well as other larger communities in the area.

There are a lot of City projects. Ms. Singer may bring the City Administrator to the next meeting to go over future plans.

City of Bradenton Planning and Community Development Department Planning Commission August 21, 2024 LU.24.1672 Staff Report AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BRADENTON, FLORIDA, AMENDING BRADENTON LAND USE REGULATIONS CHAPTER 2.0 ADMINISTRATION AND PROCEDURES, AMENDING SECTION 2.1.3.1 “COMPOSITION AND TERMS OF TLPB MEMBERS” AND 2.1.3.3 “FUNCTIONS, POWERS, AND DUTIES.”; AMENDING CHAPTER 4.0 GENERAL REGULATIONS 4.1.3.5 “SIDEWALKS”; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. The Tree and Land Preservation Board has provided recommendations for updating the City of Bradenton Land Development code. Specifically, the code sections regulate the composition of the Tree and Land Preservation Board (Chapter 2) and the planting of trees in City rights of way (Chapter 4). The changes to Section 2.1.3 were approved for recommendation to City Council at the November 2023 meeting. The Board has experienced some challenges with gathering a quorum for monthly meetings. The strict board composition requirements in Section 2.1.3 makes it difficult to find volunteers to serve, and the list leaves out some relevant professions. The Board is suggesting removing most of the numbers for each type of individual but keeping a cap of three on interested city residents. The Section 4.1.3 changes were voted on and approved for recommendation to City Council at the June 2024 meeting. These changes were suggested as a way to expand the currently allowed tree species in City right of ways, bringing the code up to date with a more modern understanding of appropriate tree plantings (known as “Right Tree Right Place”). A version of the relevant code sections in strikethrough underline format can be found on the following pages. 11

2.1.3 Tree and land preservation board. The city recognizes that a green and well-landscaped environment is important and healthy to its citizens and business community, and prospective residents and visitors. The purpose of the tree and land preservation board (TLPB) is to promote awareness of the city-wide tree canopy and tree education programs, and open space and parklands preservation initiatives. The TLPB may also, when determined by the PCD, advise owners of buildings, land, and other properties that may impact the city's tree canopy and open spaces, and other lands concerning the treatment of the natural, visual characteristics and value of such properties. The TLPB works closely with city departments, various civic and private groups, individuals, and outside agencies and organizations. 2.1.3.1 Composition and terms of TLPB members. The TLPB shall consist of up to 11 members appointed by the mayor and confirmed by city council for terms of three years. The professional members do not have to be residents of the city. The PCD director or his or her designee shall serve as staff to the TLPB board, and shall bring forth items to the board for consideration as outlined in section 2.1.3.3. Any member may be recommended for removal by the mayor and a majority vote by city council. A simple majority of appointed members, or Ffive members being present shall constitute a quorum. Members shall should be a diverse mix, representative of the community, in the following or similar professions: appointed as follows: • Two Florida-registered landscape architects; • One Florida-certified arborists; • One county agricultural extension office representative; • One Land use planners; • Two Landscape nursery professionals; • One Keep Manatee Beautiful members; • Foresters • Environmental professionals • A maximum of Tthree city residents interested in the TLPB's purpose; and • One alternate. 2.1.3.2 Bylaws and procedures. The TLPB shall adopt bylaws and procedures regarding the election and terms of officers, establishment, calling, conducting and recording of a regular schedule of public meetings. The bylaws and procedures shall be incorporated into the procedures manual maintained by the PCD director. The city council may make appropriations for salaries, fees and expenses necessary for conducting the work of the TLPB. The PCD director, at his/her discretion, may authorize expenditures by the TLPB, of less than $10,000.00 when a detailed analysis has been prepared by the TLPB, and funds are available in the city's tree program fund. 2.1.3.3 Functions, powers, and duties. The TLPB is authorized and empowered to undertake such 12

actions as necessary to achieve its purpose, including the following: a. Consider and make recommendations on items submitted to them by the PCD director, to the city council pertaining to the aesthetic programs and standards of the city including, but not limited to, the city's tree program (section 4.1.2), and parks and open space initiatives. The TLPB may, as determined by the PCD director, act on its own behalf in implementing related goals and objectives, as well as, consider and make recommendations regarding other matters as submitted by the city council and other city entities that make such requests. b. Delay removal of a grand or notable tree or trees, or other remarkable tree as recommended by the PCD director, for a period of up to 180 days for the purpose of negotiations between the TLPB and property owner(s) in an effort to find a means of preserving the tree(s). c. Establish and implement programs of education, information or research toward advancing its purpose. d. Prepare an annual beautification strategy strategic plan focusing on preservation and enhancement of the city's tree canopy, parks and open space, and other related programs.
