Wellington Council Set to Consider Tax Rate, Rezoning, and Infrastructure Contracts; Minutes Not Yet Available
Wellington's Village Council was scheduled this past week to weigh the preliminary property tax rate, a major rezoning on 50th Street South, and several infrastructure contracts totaling more than $1.5 million. However, minutes for the June 29 workshop and the June 30 regular meeting had not been published as of July 6, so the outcomes of those items are not yet confirmed in the public record.
Village Council Workshop — June 29
The Council workshop agenda listed a preliminary TRIM millage rate of 2.47 mills for adoption, along with a rezoning request for 14833 50th Street South from Equestrian Residential to Equestrian Commercial Recreation. The property is identified as the former Littlewood Equestrian Center.
Infrastructure items on the agenda included:
- A $431,484.00 contract for demolition of the Little Ranches Bridge.
- A Big Blue Trace Landscaping Phase 3 contract of approximately $588,615.00.
- Traffic signal upgrades and monitoring cameras estimated at $384,352.00.
- Greenview Shores Blvd sidewalk improvements for $99,501.90.
The agenda also noted discussions on road maintenance and new ordinances regarding park usage and shade structures.
Village Council Meeting — June 30
The June 30 regular meeting agenda carried forward several of the same items, including adoption of a 2.47 mill ad valorem rate for Wellington and the rezoning of 14833 50th Street South to Equestrian Commercial Recreation. Public hearings were scheduled on the rezoning and on an ordinance updating regulations for residential pergolas and shade structures.
Contract actions listed on the agenda matched the workshop:
- $431,484 contract for Little Ranches Bridge demolition.
- $588,615 contract for Big Blue Trace Landscaping Phase 3.
Because minutes have not been published, it is not possible to report whether these items were approved, continued, or modified. Readers should consult the official Village of Wellington meeting records for confirmed outcomes.
Architectural Review Board — June 29
The Architectural Review Board was scheduled to review design petitions including an alternative pergola design at 1641 S Club Drive and new signage for Mattress Warehouse at Wellington Green MUPD E and for Florida Center for Aesthetic Dentistry. Minutes for this meeting were also not yet published, so decisions on these petitions are not confirmed.
What This Means for Residents
The preliminary millage rate of 2.47 mills, if adopted, would set the property tax rate used to calculate annual tax bills. The rezoning of 14833 50th Street South would change the allowable uses on the former Littlewood Equestrian Center site from residential to commercial recreation. The infrastructure contracts, if approved, would fund bridge demolition, landscaping, traffic signal upgrades, and sidewalk work across the village.
None of these outcomes can be verified until the official minutes are released.
Coming Up
No public meetings are listed on the provided schedule for the next 14 days. Residents should check the Village of Wellington's official calendar for any additions or special-called sessions.
