A summary of comments would be shared with the applicants. [218 Ash Street] Request for a change of use from commercial use to residential on the second floor of the property at 218 Ash Street, in the C-3 zoning district.

Tree requirements are in effect due to expansion. Stormwater concerns need to be addressed, and a Utility Connection application is needed, along with a backflow preventer. This expansion will necessitate a civil and full site plan review. Plans should reflect the distance to the other building to assess fire-rated separation. The reconfiguration of the parking area was discussed, suggesting impervious pavers. Chain link fencing is not allowed in MU-8 zoning. Contact Fernandina Beach Main Street regarding site grants for façade.
