Community Redevelopment Agency Regular Meeting · 2026-05-19 · agenda_packet

This document is an agenda for the Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting on May 19, 2026, at 5:00 PM in the City Hall Commission Chambers, 204 Ash Street, Fernandina Beach, FL 32034. The primary agenda item is a presentation of a Waterfront Area Community Redevelopment Plan Supplement, intended to outline how capital projects can be funded through the Community Redevelopment Area budget. The document also includes background information on the Waterfront Area Community Redevelopment Plan, originally prepared in September 2004 and amended in May 2005. This plan covers approximately 34 acres and 54 parcels, addressing blighted conditions, future land use, zoning, public infrastructure, and community involvement. It details existing conditions, legal descriptions of the CRA, and recommendations for zoning and land use changes to encourage redevelopment. Public infrastructure analysis highlights needs for water distribution, sanitary sewer, roadways, stormwater, and electrical systems. Community involvement included a charrette and public comment periods. The plan's vision is to maintain views and access to the water, establish a sense of place, and preserve the character of Fernandina Beach's working waterfront and historic district. The document does not detail specific capital projects to be funded, only the mechanism for their funding.
