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.
