4. Minimum Variance

Board of Adjustment Regular Meeting · 2026-06-04 · agenda_item

A variance request is under review by the City of Fernandina Beach Board of Adjustment that would allow a single lot to be split into two. The two new lots would measure 100 feet and 103 feet wide, both exceeding the 75-foot minimum width required for R-1 zoning. The proposed homes are expected to be smaller than the previous structures, reducing impervious area and tree removal. This item is currently under review, representing an early stage in the potential development process. If approved, the project would involve site preparation for two new residences, potentially including utility connections and foundation work. Contractors specializing in site preparation, concrete, framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC could find opportunities. Reaching out to the applicant or relevant city departments now could provide insight into future needs before formal plans are finalized.
