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

The City of Fernandina Beach Board of Adjustment is reviewing a request to split a single lot into two separate lots. The property is located in an R-1 zoning area. The two new lots would measure 100 feet and 103 feet wide, both exceeding the minimum 75 feet required for R-1 zoning and matching widths found in the nearby Highland Dunes subdivision. This variance request is currently under review. If approved, the project would involve site preparation for two new homes, which are expected to have smaller footprints than existing structures, leading to less impervious surface and minimal tree removal. Contractors specializing in site clearing, grading, utility connections, foundation work, framing, and finishing trades could find opportunities. Suppliers of building materials and related services may also be needed. Engaging early in the process, before final site plans and permits are issued, offers the best chance to compete for this work.
