On first reading the Coconut Creek City Commission advanced amendments to the city’s land‑development code to conform to changes in state law enacted in Senate Bill 954.

Staff explained the ordinance updates Chapter 13 (administration, implementation procedures) to ensure requests for reasonable accommodation are date‑stamped, that the city responds within 60 days (or the request is deemed granted), and that requests for additional information be made by day 30 or sooner. The existing city code used a 45‑day timeline and lacked consistent rules for additional information requests, so the change aligns local procedure with the statutory "shot‑clock" mechanism that takes effect Jan. 1.

City staff said the ordinance will codify timing, notification, and documentation requirements necessary to process accommodation requests in a statute‑conforming manner. The first reading passed by roll call vote; no additional substantive changes were requested during the discussion.

The item will return for second reading as required by ordinance procedure prior to adoption.
