Madeira to charge impact fees on new development


MADEIRA BEACH — Developers of both commercial and residential properties will soon be paying impact fees to the city based on the size of their projects. The purpose is to help recover some of the costs to the city associated with development.
Fees will be assessed in three areas impacted by new developments and redevelopment of existing properties. There will be mobility fees for roads; health and safety fees for fire, EMS and police services; and fees to benefit parks and quality of life.
Recognizing the fees could have a negative impact on potential developments in the city, at least when first introduced, the commission decided to phase in the charges. The recommendation by Mayor John Hendricks was to charge a lesser amount, 40 percent of the total fee, during the first year after introducing the fee, then increasing it 10 percent each year for the next six years. ....

Redevelopment of Schooner Hotel in Madeira Beach moves forward


MADEIRA BEACH — In a close 3-to-2 vote, the city commission approved Planned Development (PD) zoning for the expansion of the beachfront Schooner Hotel on Gulf Boulevard at 146th Avenue. The vote, on first reading, took place after a two-hour hearing in which city staff, the property developer and owners, and interested citizens spoke at the April 14 commission meeting.
The new hotel, which replaces an aging hotel at the site, had first been proposed as a Planned Development in early 2019. At that time, it was touted by the architect John Bodziak as “a standout, landmark hotel along the lines of the Vinoy and Don Cesar.” The plan was for a five-story, 40-unit hotel with beachfront restaurant/bar, and a two-story building across the street with 16 hotel suites and retail space. A footbridge over Gulf Boulevard would connect the two properties. ....
