Belleair Beach city council voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance 2026-01, which amends the land-development code for Residential Low (RL) District 2 parcels along Gulf Boulevard by lowering the required maximum garage-floor elevation from 24 inches to 18 inches above the road surface.
City Attorney Tom Trask read the ordinance by title on second and final reading and confirmed there were no changes since the first reading. The measure affects parcels along Gulf Boulevard in the RL District 2 and includes standard severability and effective-date language. The council opened the item for public comment; no members of the public spoke.
Council moved, seconded and called the roll. All present members voted in favor and Trask announced the ordinance passed unanimously. The ordinance becomes part of the Belleair Beach code and will take effect as provided in the ordinance text.
City staff indicated the change adjusts allowed garage-floor elevation for certain parcels and will be reflected in the city's zoning and permitting review going forward; any property owners or developers subject to the code change will follow standard permitting and site-review procedures.
