4. Strict interpretation and enforcement of the code would deprive the applicant of rights

This item concerns a property owner in Jacksonville Beach seeking relief from current land development code rules. The applicant believes strict enforcement of the code would create an unnecessary hardship, preventing reasonable improvements to their parcel and limiting opportunities available to other residential property owners. The property has a reduced lot size, and while yard setbacks may need adjustment, no additional lot coverage is requested. This matter is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. The project, if approved, would involve site improvements and potential construction, creating opportunities for general contractors, site preparation and grading services, concrete and masonry work, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, painting, and landscaping. Early engagement with the applicant before final site plans, bids, and permits are established could provide a competitive advantage for local businesses.
