Zephyrhills CRA & City Council Meetings (5-11-2026)

The City of Zephyrhills held its Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and City Council meetings on May 11, 2026. The CRA meeting approved two matching facade grants: one for a residential garage siding project valued at $4,200 with the CRA funding half, and another for a commercial sign costing $542.89 with the CRA also funding half after installation and inspection. The City Council meeting included a detailed presentation and discussion on implementing a stormwater utility fee to fund regulatory compliance, maintenance, and capital improvements, with an estimated annual revenue need of approximately $2.5 million. The fee structure was explained, including billing based on impervious surface area and a flat rate for single-family residences. The council discussed credit policies for properties with stormwater treatment systems and considered exemptions for municipal properties. Additionally, the council addressed the airport lease situation involving Skydive City, focusing on FAA funding suspension due to an RV park lease violation, with plans to negotiate a corrective action plan to restore funding and discuss future airport development. Several motions related to convenience fee adjustments for city payments were approved, and updates on local infrastructure projects and community concerns, including the Silver Oaks golf course property and stormwater management, were provided.
