Historic Architectural Review Board Meeting · 2026-04-16 · agenda_item

The City of St. Augustine's Historic Architectural Review Board is reviewing a demolition permit application for a property located at 51 Florida Avenue. The board has the authority to deny demolition if a structure is of exceptional significance and its removal would harm the city's historic character, unless the applicant proves undue economic hardship. The applicant has not submitted evidence of undue economic hardship. This review process is currently under consideration. If demolition is approved, it could involve site preparation, demolition services, and potentially new construction or renovation. Contractors specializing in demolition, site work, and building trades may find opportunities as this project moves through the review process. Engaging early could provide an advantage before final plans and permits are issued.
