Development Review Committee 9/25/26

The City of Punta Gorda Development Review Committee convened on September 25, 2026, primarily to review and approve several road closure event permits. The committee approved permits for events including the Americanmade band at the Salty Tarpon, the 48th annual Christmas parade, the Moonlit Market at Lashley Pavilion, and the 13th annual Punta Gorda pub crawl. Each approval included conditions such as providing IRS tax exemption forms, ensuring the harbor walk and sidewalks remain accessible, and confirming proper licensing for alcohol sales. Staff emphasized the importance of obtaining extension of premise permits for alcohol service to protect licenses. Public works and utilities had no significant objections, and law enforcement details were required for some events. Motions to approve these permits with conditions were unanimously passed during the meeting.
