Overview: The North Port City Council meeting primarily concentrated on the complex issue of designating city-owned properties for affordable housing, as mandated by the state’s “live local act. ” The city is currently out of compliance with state regulations, having missed the October 1, 2023, deadline to submit a list of surplus properties suitable for affordable housing. This requirement has raised concerns about the implications for city planning and the potential restrictions it may impose on the use of these properties for other municipal purposes. Council members debated the list of approximately 141 properties, with a focus on maintaining flexibility for future city projects while adhering to state requirements.
