within the PRW (Planned Retail Workplace) Zoning District.
2. On June 2, 2023, the Planning and Development Services Director granted approval
through PDS Order No. 2023-038 for a Minor Site Plan for 146 platted lots and a 2.64-
acre future commercial outparcel.

4. On October 5, 2024, Governor DeSantis issued Executive Order Number 24-214 declaring

as a result of the threat of Hurricane Milton. This emergency declaration was effective on
October 5, 2024, and would have expired 60 days later, on December 4, 2024.
Subsequent executive orders have continued to extend Executive Order 24-214, including
Executive Order 25-119, which extended the State of Emergency to July 28, 2025.

Order 25-119 (Hurricane Milton).
6. Senate Bill 250, approved by the Governor on June 28, 2023, and effective July 1, 2023,
amends Section 252.363(1)(a) Florida Statutes, increasing the extension of the expiration
dates for such permits or other authorizations to twenty-four (24) months per state of
emergency (plus the duration of the emergency declaration), but limiting the extended
period under overlapping states of emergency to forty-eight (48) months.
7. Section 252.363 Florida Statutes requires that a specific written notice be filed with the
issuing authority within ninety (90) days after the termination of the declaration of
