A zoning exception is under review for the property at 3546 St. Johns Bluff Rd S, located between Beach Blvd and Town Center Parkway. The applicant, Will Lahnen, is proposing to allow the retail sale and service of all alcoholic beverages, including liquor, beer, and wine, for on-premises consumption. This would be for a business named Baran Cafe, operating within the CCG-1 zoning district. The item is currently pending and has been introduced, with public hearings scheduled for July 21, 2026. This project would involve interior build-out and renovation for the cafe space, including potential plumbing for bars, electrical work for lighting and service, HVAC systems, and finishing trades. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in the construction and hospitality sectors could find opportunities. Reaching out early, before final plans and permits are issued, offers the best chance to compete for this upcoming work.
