Historic Preservation Board · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

The Episcopal Diocese of Florida is seeking a compliance report for the St. Mary’s Episcopal Church property at 809 St. Johns Avenue. This report will confirm the property meets criteria for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The property is currently within the Downtown Business District. The Planning Department and Historic Preservation Board are aware of the property's eligibility and have confirmed documentation is complete for submission to the State. The Board has acknowledged the report and indicated support for its transmittal. This item is currently under review, with the Board providing consensus support for the next steps. The scope of work involves administrative review and documentation for historic designation. While no new construction is proposed, businesses involved in historical consulting, architectural documentation, and legal services related to historic preservation may find opportunities in supporting such applications. Early engagement with the applicant or relevant city departments could provide insight into future needs.
