Titusville: Titusville Meeting
Summary. The Titusville Planning and Zoning Commission held their regular March 2026 meeting, beginning with the swearing in of two new members, Lynn Rice and Lawrence Graham. Both members took their oath of office and were welcomed to the commission. The primary business item was the Live Local Act ordinance, which addresses state-mandated affordable housing requirements. Senior Planner Christy Anderson presented the draft ordinance that amends the city's affordable housing regulations to comply with Florida Chapter 2025-172. The ordinance includes new definitions, amended development standards, and restrictions in historic districts, while requiring at least 40% of units in qualifying developments to be set aside as affordable rentals for thirty years. The commission discussed various technical aspects of the ordinance, including height restrictions, open space requirements, and landscape buffer standards.
