What to Expect at the February 4 St. Johns County Board of County Commissioner’s Meeting

Continuing the return to Proclamations, February 2025 will be recognized as Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month


Regular Agenda Items

Agenda Item 1 – A return to the Constitutional Officers Update as part of the regular agenda. Sheriff Hardwick and Property Appraiser Creamer will present updates. There are no materials for the public to review prior to the meeting


Agenda Item 2Non Residential Concurrency. This should be another educational presentation. Many residents confuse Concurrency fees and Impact Fees. The January 21st meeting had a very informative presentation on Impact fees.

Check the Jan 21st Impact Fee discussion here: Jan 21st Blog Post

I’m hoping to see the same type of information presented about Concurrency Fees. This item is on the agenda as a result of a request from Commissioner Taylor at the December 17, 2024 meeting. There is a view that because of the 2018 exemption for non-residential concurrency fees the county has lost revenue. Staff was directed to come back to the Commissioners with an updated ordinance and supplemental information for discussion and direction. If approved, this will come back for a vote of adoption on February 18th, 2025.

For this item, staff has brought forward the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to require concurrency on all developments in the County. There is a separate action for changes in the Land Development Code that will be brought forward later. Hopefully the presentation Tuesday will explain the difference between the Comp Plan changes and Land Development Code Changes.

The materials for Tuesday can be found here: Concurrency Ordinance Materials


Agenda Item 3 – 500 Morning Side Dr. Appeal of Ponte Vedra Zoning and Adjustment Board’s (PVZAB) approval of a Zoning Variance. The variance allows for a maximum Impervious Surface Ration of 44% in lieu of the required 40% to accommodate a swimming pool at 500 Morning Side Drive. This appeal was filed by a neighbor with adjacent property to the location.

The materials for the appeal can be found here: Agenda Item 3


Agenda Item 5 – Ponte Vedra Lakes Boutique PUD – request for a Major Modification to the PUD to allow for a unified design. This was approved by the PVZAB in December.

Materials can be found here: Ponte Vedra Lakes


Agenda Item 5 – Purchase and Sale Agreement for Acquisition of land located on Bishop Estates Road. The LAMP Board had recommended purchase of this property in 2024. This is Lot 26 and Lot 27 on Bishop Estates Road.
