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

The City of Fernandina Beach Board of Adjustment is reviewing a request to grant a variance for Lot 5 of the Forest Hills subdivision. This variance would allow the lot to be split into two new lots that meet the requirements for lot size in the R-1 zoning district. Staff recommends approval of this variance. If approved, the project would involve dividing an existing lot into two smaller lots, requiring site planning and potentially minor land surveying. The new lots would then be subject to the Forest Hills plat's setback requirements based on their size. This early stage in the review process presents an opportunity for local contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage. Understanding the project's details now, before final site plans and permits are issued, can provide a competitive advantage for future work related to lot division and any subsequent development.
