Be First, Build Lasting Relationships

Technical Review Committee: May 2026

City of Fernandina Beach

5. FIRST STEP REVIEW (PRE-APPLICATION ITEMS)

A review is planned for a project at 13 North 13th Street. The proposal includes demolishing an old commercial building and constructing up to nine new shop buildings for a Main Market. This project is currently in the First Step review phase, meaning it is an early stage of planning. The work would likely involve site preparation, demolition, and then the construction of multiple commercial structures. Contractors specializing in demolition, general construction, concrete, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and finishing trades could find opportunities. Suppliers of building materials would also be needed. Engaging with the project early, before final plans and permits are set, offers the best chance to compete for work.

5. FIRST STEP REVIEW (PRE-APPLICATION ITEMS)

Donna Ferreira, LLC is planning a redevelopment project at 310 Ash Street. The applicant, Donna Ferreira, intends to purchase the property to expand her existing school. The current structure on the property has been found to be in poor condition and is proposed for demolition. The property is zoned C-3, and any proposed uses must comply with this zoning. This item is currently under review by the Technical Review Committee. The project would involve demolition of the existing structure, followed by potential site clearing and grading. Any redevelopment may require utility changes, and stormwater management plans will be needed, especially if pavers are added. The project may also involve combining lots, which could affect tree requirements. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to reach out early to understand the project scope as plans develop, before formal bids and permits are issued.
