Planning Board Denies Appeal for Single-Family Home Replacement on St. John's Avenue
The Planning Board heard an appeal of staff's decision regarding the replacement of an existing single-family structure at 1509 St. John's Avenue. Staff denied the request, stating that demolishing and replacing the legally non-conforming single-family home would mean losing its non-conforming status, and new residential construction is prohibited in the C2 commercial zoning district. The appellant argued that reconstruction is not new construction and that the home has been a residential use for over a hundred years. The board voted to affirm the administrative decision of the planning director, denying the appeal.
Planning Board Denies Rezoning Request for St. John's Avenue Property to Multifamily Residential
The Planning Board considered a request to amend the future land use designation from City of Palaca Commercial to City of Palaca Residential High and rezone 17 acres from City of Palaca Intensive Commercial C2 to City of Palaca Multifamily Residential District R3 for a property on St. John's Avenue. Staff recommended denial, citing inconsistencies with the comprehensive plan's policy on eliminating non-conforming uses and the intent to maintain a commercial corridor. The board voted to deny the request.

They also requested to change the future land use from Putnam County Urban Service to City of Palaca Residential Medium and rezone from Putnam County Residential Mix (R2) to City of Palaca Residential Two Family (R2). Staff recommended approval for all requests, finding them consistent with state statutes and city plans. The board unanimously approved the annexation, future land use amendment, and rezoning.
