01. Introduction to the Future Land Use Element
The City of Palatka is beginning the planning process for its Future Land Use Element, aiming to guide land use decisions through the year 2045. This initiative is intended to align with state requirements and the community's long-term vision. The project involves analyzing current land use, assessing future population needs, and identifying strategies to meet those needs over the next two decades. This early stage means that detailed site plans, permits, and construction timelines are not yet established. However, the process will eventually involve extensive data analysis, policy development, and public input, which could lead to future development projects. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to stay informed as this planning element progresses, as it will lay the groundwork for future growth and development opportunities within the city.

1. Remove regional park level of service standards. Due to their scale and maintenance
The City of Palatka's Planning Board is reviewing a proposal to remove regional park level of service standards from the comprehensive plan.

2. Preserve and Expand Publicly Supported Housing. Nearly 350 of the City’s publicly
The City of Palatka is considering a plan to preserve and expand publicly supported housing. This initiative aims to protect nearly 350 existing income-restricted housing units that are at risk of losing their affordability protections by 2045. The city plans to work with property owners, use HUD's Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program, and offer local incentives for reinvestment. A new local database and monitoring system will also be created to track these housing units. This item is currently under review by the Planning Board. The project would involve assessing existing properties, potentially updating covenants, and implementing new data systems. Work could include consulting services for housing finance, legal services for covenant agreements, and IT services for the new database. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the scope and potential needs as the plan develops before formal bids and permits are issued.

2. Segments of Crill Avenue. This roadway is under FDOT jurisdiction, and evaluation of the
The City of Palatka is reviewing options for segments of Crill Avenue, Palm Avenue, and St. Johns Avenue. These evaluations include potential roadway widening or a more focused approach to improve conditions. The city is considering a "road diet" for the six-lane segment of SR 19, reducing it to four lanes to allow for commercial property expansion, sidewalk improvements, and beautification. Other roads like Palm Ave. and St. Johns Ave. between Palm Ave. and SR 19 could be reduced to two lanes while keeping turning lanes. These changes are planned to address future traffic levels and improve roadway function. The city is coordinating with the Florida Department of Transportation on these state roadways. This review is currently under consideration, representing an early stage in the public process. Potential work could involve site clearing, grading, stormwater and utility work, paving, and landscaping. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand project needs before bids and permits are finalized.
