The City of Jacksonville Beach Board of Adjustment is reviewing a request for variance(s) that would allow for the redevelopment of a dilapidated property. The property is located in the C-1 zone, where Historic Single Family is a permitted use. Staff believes the variance is necessary because the existing structure has challenges that would likely require it for renovation. Approving the variance would support the city's comprehensive plan by encouraging commercial infill. This review is currently planned, meaning opportunities for contractors and suppliers may arise as the project moves forward. If approved, the project could involve site clearing, demolition of the existing structure, and new construction. This could create work for general contractors, demolition services, concrete and masonry specialists, framing crews, and those involved in electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Suppliers of building materials would also be needed. Reaching out to the applicant or city staff early could provide insight into potential project timelines and needs before formal bids are solicited.
