August 20, 2026 - Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting

The City of Sebastian Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on August 20, 2026, primarily to discuss a proposed textual amendment to the land development code concerning building height definitions in the Commercial Waterfront Residential (CWR) district. The amendment aimed to change how building height is measured for properties subject to the riverfront overlay district, proposing to measure height to the mean between the eaves and the ridge of pitched roofs rather than to the peak, to better accommodate architectural requirements without increasing building height limits. The commission debated potential impacts on building character and insurance considerations but ultimately voted 4 to 2 in favor of recommending the amendment to the city council. No direct contract awards or procurement actions were discussed during the meeting.
