Lake City agendas: NW Early Street density ordinances, $38,325 monument payment, airport lease
Lake City's recent government meetings are documented so far only by agendas. Minutes have not been published for any of the five meetings held between Oct. 5 and Oct. 13, so no votes, outcomes or tallies are available for this roundup. What follows is what was scheduled for consideration, not what was decided.
The heaviest items on the schedule were two ordinances affecting residential density on NW Early Street, a proposed $38,325 payment for monuments in Olustee Park, and a lease of airport industrial park land.
NW Early Street: final readings scheduled
The City Council's Oct. 5 regular session listed final readings of Ordinance 2026-2373 and Ordinance 2026-2374, both described as increasing residential density at NW Early Street. One would amend the Future Land Use Plan and the other the Official Zoning Atlas. Because minutes are not yet published, whether either ordinance was adopted is not established in the record available here.
Olustee Park monuments: proposed $38,325
The same agenda listed a proposed $38,325 payment to install Freedom Monuments in Olustee Park. The item is recorded as a proposal; the source does not show an approved expenditure or a payment made.
Animal control code amendments
Ordinance 2026-2392 was listed to amend Animal Control codes and delete licensing requirements. Its status is likewise unrecorded pending minutes.
Airport Industrial Park lease
The Council agenda included a lease agreement with Tubular Building Systems, LLC for land in the Lake City Airport Industrial Park.
PFAS firefighting foam claims
Also on the Oct. 5 agenda were legal services agreements with Bartlett Law Offices, P.C. and others regarding PFAS firefighting foam claims. The agenda does not state the dollar value of those agreements.
Planning and Zoning: county-to-city land use conversions
The Planning and Zoning Board met Oct. 13 with four resolutions converting county classifications to city ones. Two concern property identified as the Mhatre family trust: Resolution PZ/LPA CPA 26-08S, a land use change from County-Commercial to City-Commercial for 50 or less acres, and Resolution PZ/LPA Z 26-06L, a rezoning of 10+ contiguous acres from County-Commercial Intensive to City-Commercial Intensive. Two parallel resolutions concern RMC 47 & 242A LLC: CPA 26-09S and Z 26-07L, with the same acreage and classification descriptions. The board's agenda describes these as proposed changes and recommendations.
Leadership elections and a Duval Street certificate
Three bodies scheduled workshops to elect a Chair and Vice Chair: the Board of Adjustment on Oct. 13, the Planning and Zoning Board on Oct. 13, and the Historic Preservation Agency on Oct. 13. The Board of Adjustment also planned to review August and September 2026 minutes.
The Historic Preservation Agency agenda noted COA 26-06, a Certificate of Appropriateness for 157 E Duval St submitted by FL Office Partners LLC, listed as administratively approved.
Recreation Advisory Committee
