Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting a change of zoning classification from IU (Light Industrial) on 2.46 acres to BU-2 to build a RV and boat storage yard and a mini warehouse. The applicant states the current IU zoning classification restricts the location of storage areas. In IU zoning all storage areas shall be located to the rear of the primary structures. The BU-2 zoning does not have these storage area restrictions. BU-2 zoning classification requires a building of at least 300 sq. ft. as the principal structure. The subject parcel has access to Curtis Blvd., a County maintained roadway.
The developed character of the surrounding area on the east side of Curtis Blvd is commercial uses with IU zoning. To the east of the parcel is the Florida East Coast Railway. To the west across Curtis Blvd are commercial uses with BU-2 zoning.
The original zoning was GU (General Use). The current IU zoning classification permits light industrial land uses within enclosed structures. IU zoning allows all uses permitted in the BU-1 and BU-2 classification, except, single-family residence. The minimum lot size is 20,000 square feet, with a minimum width of 100 feet and a minimum depth of 200 feet. The proposed BU-2 zoning classification permits retail, wholesale and warehousing commercial land uses on minimum 7,500 square foot lots. BU-2 zoning is the county’s most intense commercial zoning classification due to the intensive nature of commercial activities permitted. Off-site impacts such as noise, light, traffic, and other potential nuisance factors associated with BU-2 activities should be considered. The BU-2 zoning classification allows outside storage of retail items including, but not limited to, motor vehicles, utility sheds, nursery items such as plants and trees, boats, and mobile homes.
On June 5, 2024, the Special District Board of Port Saint John heard the request and unanimously recommended approval.
On July 22, 2024, the request was continued at the Planning and Zoning meeting due to the applicant not being present.
On August 1, 2024, the request was continued at the Board of County Commissioners Meeting due to the applicant not being present at the July 22, 2024, Planning and Zoning meeting.
