Planning Commission · 2026-05-26 · agenda_item

The Planning Commission for the City of Jacksonville Beach is reviewing proposed changes to minimum floor area and lot coverage requirements for single-family homes. The proposal includes a minimum of 1,000 square feet of conditioned living space per dwelling, a one-car garage, and two driveway parking spaces. It also suggests a maximum lot coverage of 45 percent for the primary structure and any required driveway. This item is currently under review. If approved, the changes could lead to new residential construction projects. Work might include site preparation, foundation, framing, roofing, and interior finishing trades. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in residential construction could benefit by engaging with the city or developers early in the process, before final plans and permits are issued.
