Council approves conveyance of 0.07-acre School Road parcel for Villa Del Sol project

The City Council of New Port Richey voted to approve an ordinance conveying a 0.07-acre surplus parcel on School Road to NPR Grand 1 LLC as part of the Villa Del Sol development. Council moved and seconded the ordinance on second reading and recorded four ayes to adopt the measure.

A staff presenter told the council the parcel had been inadvertently omitted from an earlier conveyance of the former community hospital assemblage. "The quickest way for us to get our hands on the property so that we could in turn convey it to the hospital or the developer," the presenter said, describing Pasco County's prior action. Pasco County approved a transfer of the parcel to the city at its 08/25/2026 meeting, staff said, enabling the city to complete the conveyance to the developer.

Mayor and council members took no public comment on the item before voting. The ordinance text and the conveyance authorization were read into the record during the second reading. The council recorded four affirmative votes; Councilman Butler had been noted as not in attendance earlier in the meeting.
