Planning Board Meeting: May 2026
City of Palatka
0. 07 km
A conceptual site map has been presented for properties located at 201, 211, 225, 229, 300, 301, and 320 St. Johns Ave, as well as 301 Reid St. The request involves amending the future land use designation of approximately 9.03 acres from Commercial (COM) to Residential Low density (RL). Additionally, the zoning is proposed to change from General Commercial District (C-1) to Single-Family Residential District (R-1). These parcels are currently vacant. This item is under review by the Planning Board. If approved, the project would involve site preparation, grading, and potentially utility work, followed by the construction of single-family homes. Contractors specializing in site work, residential framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and finishing trades could find opportunities. Suppliers of building materials and equipment would also be needed. Engaging early, before final site plans and permits are issued, offers the best chance to compete for this upcoming work.

10. Development Standards
The City of Palatka Planning Board is reviewing a proposed rezoning for a mixed-use development. This project is under review and seeks a Planned Unit Development (PUD) classification to allow for innovative design patterns. The PUD overlay is required for nonresidential projects over 20,000 square feet or residential projects with more than five units per acre. This rezoning could lead to site preparation, grading, utility work, and construction of new buildings. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's scope as it moves through the review process before final site plans, bids, and permits are established.

11. Parking:
The City of Palatka's Planning Board is reviewing a proposal regarding parking in the downtown area. The developer, operating under DR Zoning, will not be required to provide parking for their specific Planned Unit Development (PUD). However, the developer has agreed to collaborate with the city on ideas to improve overall downtown parking. This collaboration may involve exploring public private partnerships to develop new parking concepts. The city and developer will also work together on the use of Transportation Impact Fees and other potential funding methods. This review stage means that opportunities for contractors and suppliers are still in the early planning phases. Businesses involved in site assessment, design, and potential construction of parking facilities or related infrastructure could find future opportunities. Early engagement with city planning staff and the developer could provide insight as these parking concepts are explored.

13. Impact Fees:
This item concerns impact fees for future development within the City of Palatka. The Planning Board is reviewing how developers will be required to pay impact and connection fees. These fees are mandated by city code and state law and are due when a certificate of occupancy is issued for each development. This process is currently under review. While no specific project is detailed, the eventual payment of these fees will be tied to the issuance of certificates of occupancy for new construction. This implies future development projects that will require site preparation, construction, and utility connections. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor future development announcements and engage with potential developers early to understand project timelines and requirements. Early engagement can provide an advantage as projects move from planning to permitting and construction phases.

3. Current Land Use: COM, Commercial
The City of Palatka Planning Board is reviewing a proposal to change the future land use designation for a property located on Moody Road.

This project would likely involve site preparation, utility work, road and driveway construction, home building, and landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to the city or applicant early to understand the project's scope and potential needs before final plans and permits are established.

I. Background
A mixed-use redevelopment project is planned for multiple parcels along St. Johns Avenue in Palatka. The applicant, Beck/Sloan Properties Inc., is requesting to rezone these parcels to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) overlay district. This project proposes to include a restaurant, an entertainment bar venue, hotel rooms, and potentially residential units, with the first floor designed for food and beverage businesses in a food court style. The plan includes adding hotel suites and rooms across several parcels, with the James Hotel serving as a central anchor. This item is currently under review by the Planning Board, with staff recommending approval of the PUD overlay and a Development Agreement. The project would involve site preparation, underground utility installation for new construction, vertical construction for mixed-use buildings, and interior and exterior finishing trades. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project scope as site plans, bids, and permits are developed.

A proposal is under review to add a third-floor rooftop bar and restaurant to the existing building at 201 St. Johns Avenue.

This project is currently under review by the City of Palatka Planning Board.
