Board of Adjustment Regular Meeting · 2026-05-20 · agenda_item

This item concerns a variance request for Lot 5 Forest Hills in Fernandina Beach, Nassau County. The applicant is seeking relief from the Land Development Code, specifically provisions related to the construction or demolition of structures on combined lots. The applicant believes the current code is poorly written and may not apply to their single lot, which has existed since it was originally platted. The adjoining Highland Dunes subdivision has a minimum lot width of 75 feet. This matter is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. If the variance is granted, it could lead to site preparation, utility work, construction, and landscaping. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this review process, as early engagement before final plans and permits are established can offer a competitive advantage.
