City staff presented the applicant's proposal, which would have included exterior waterproofing and painting the masonry a gray color. The applicant was not present at the hearing. Members of the Historic Preservation Agency discussed local precedents and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, which generally advise against painting previously unpainted masonry because paint can trap moisture and damage historic materials.

Board members cited examples in the packet of both painted and unpainted masonry in the district; one photographed façade had previously been painted without an approved COA, which limited the agency's ability to respond. Several members said painting red brick gray would undermine the building's historic character and recommended refusal in the absence of the applicant's presence to justify the treatment or to present performance documentation for non-pigmented waterproofing products.

After discussion a motion to deny the COA passed by a non-unanimous vote. The board noted that non-pigmented masonry treatments exist that preserve the substrate and that the agency expects applicants to present alternatives and technical justification when proposing painted finishes for historic masonry.

The denial does not prohibit the property owner from returning with additional documentation or alternative treatments; it prevents the proposed paint treatment as submitted from proceeding under the COA process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May 13, 2025 - Planning and Zoning/ Board of Adjustments/ Historical Preservation","oneSentenceSummary","The Historic Preservation Agency denied a certificate of appropriateness for painting red brick gray at a Foundation for Florida Gateway College building, citing guidance in the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and mixed precedents in the district; board members also expressed concern the applicant was not present to explain the request.","taxTitle","Lake City, Columbia County, Florida","taxId",56856,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6057236,"Board of Adjustment grants exception to allow single-wide manufactured home for independent living program",3358,3852000,7210000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3307541-3be8fd99276f0ab4cfdd3a12508b061f&start=3852&end=7210","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3307541-3be8fd99276f0ab4cfdd3a12508b061f/thumbnail_3852000.jpg","/articles/6057236/Lake-City/Columbia-County/Florida/Board-of-Adjustment-grants-exception-to-allow-single-wide-manufactured-home-for-independent-living-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6057236-832fc3c9567bd630a9298c7094d427c0/orig.mp4?Expires=1776600814&Signature=mDixSndqZYC8Pe1rHYZP-gUOpXgXDQ-t1bU9B5r94fSaliqeDToyR-TKgF8NqSS7JVpOLxQjQT~PQTo6Spt0EvR-jTM~z0Jbtr7l8GTJpiaAGYmsZyA7P9sCeyITHCv8H0FcvfyAqua3wRlw-z3AL8iHX2QMdMQ0Q0-xKVLeOjNECmlc1ibimCSiWvhgzr7AMg5fnxdqe3fW5eDSq8B2W5ZhlKAkM331fy69xSEflc02yciDVK~3Vkspp6mkEaS8dg5ezSDnJ9omcopOOWePSACW9s8l5PIR5hYDAaKzc6t-556Mza6g4FX6FHD2V~65hj3CNJ79YVhOViMfbZSA-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Lake City Board of Adjustment unanimously approved special-exception petition SE25-01 on May 13 to permit placement of a single-wide manufactured home on a parcel zoned Residential Single-Family 3 (RSF-3).

Applicant James H. Fields and his wife described plans to use the two-bedroom, one-bath manufactured home for an independent-living program aimed at young adults transitioning out of foster care or similar systems. The couple said the home would provide a supervised setting for participants gaining independent-living skills.

City staff confirmed the application was filed before a recently adopted moratorium on similar applications and therefore remained eligible for review. Staff also reported that field visits showed standard-design manufactured homes were already present in the area, supporting the request.

Board members questioned whether a double-wide would have met setbacks and were told the parcel's narrow dimensions made a double-wide unlikely to fit within required setbacks; the single-wide was the practical option. After discussing consistency with LDR criteria for special exceptions, the board moved and approved the resolution granting the special exception by unanimous vote.

The applicant was instructed to enter supporting materials into the record and the board noted standard conditions and revocation language in the resolution. The owner may proceed with permitting steps consistent with the approved special exception and applicable building codes.","The Board of Adjustment unanimously granted a special exception to allow a standard-design manufactured home on an RSF-3 parcel so the owner can use the unit for an independent-living program for young adults aging out of care.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6057240,"Lake City board tables rezoning request for Laurel Lane, asks staff to pursue LDR text change",2919,2820000,5739000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3307541-3be8fd99276f0ab4cfdd3a12508b061f&start=2820&end=5739","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3307541-3be8fd99276f0ab4cfdd3a12508b061f/thumbnail_2820000.jpg","/articles/6057240/Lake-City/Columbia-County/Florida/Lake-City-board-tables-rezoning-request-for-Laurel-Lane-asks-staff-to-pursue-LDR-text-change","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6057240-bab8428ff6fbe4e01ff21f7b7ac2845e/orig.mp4?Expires=1776600814&Signature=HcSGVLU~uPfPnRoxdLtHfAkRuNY7CINRuqnNS4UrTltpptDUA0fI5fNz9wm2yDBKFqiW3By0ZHBT7hUs3RhHQy1Ya1JrwGHeRefatX3qcug5dv70NCMdWzjiwPCL4BVuKvkOzWTbPnO5mOyIfAVnJWoW8PHRUIDnyomOZWq7KPDvHfo5BrP6CZMz5nRP9LbLI~ryHCML2x4CgG0Zxj5gFlMibrtaVE52jd9aQQ4R0j-PHsdrVlO6teJ2yCfM2bm~8fWb1V~e9SF83-TMZwBqhqAJUgawzoxHiwrUusRlGmlSb69BLNm~Og1xB~GkBhPUkqd8aORCf1EeCXHNOV5z9Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lake City Planning and Zoning Board on May 13 voted to table a rezoning petition (Z25-03) filed by Florida First Coast Investment Corp. that would change two parcels on Southwest Laurel Lane from Residential Single-Family (RSF-3) to Commercial Neighborhood (CN).

City staff recommended denial, saying the comprehensive plan and land-development regulations require CN zoning to be located on roads designated as collectors or arterial roadways. Staff cited the comprehensive-plan policy IDET 1.5 (paragraph 2) and section 4.110.1 of the land-development regulations and concluded the street is a low-traffic, no-outlet residential lane and not appropriate for CN.

Carol Chadwick, P.E., the applicant's agent, and several residents, including property owner Buddy Slay and neighbor Christopher Sampson, urged the board to approve the rezoning. Slay and other proponents said the block is already transitioning to commercial uses, noted an adjacent parcel previously zoned CN, and described plans to renovate burned or vacant houses for small tenant suites (salons, stylists and other low-impact businesses). Slay told the board the owner's long-term aim is \"to clean up the area, provide more rental suites for professionals\" and said he would work with the city on next steps.

Staff and some commissioners warned against piecemeal commercial encroachment into an established residential area but acknowledged the block may be evolving. Planning staff suggested the parties consider one of two remedies: (1) a single, consolidated rezoning application covering the entire block under unified ownership, or (2) a text amendment to the land-development regulations allowing CN zoning on neighborhood streets where appropriate.

Board members discussed both options and asked whether the applicant would waive statutory time limits while a text amendment is pursued. Owner Buddy Slay agreed to \"work with you\" and the record shows he waived time limits so the board and City Council could consider LDR amendments without forcing an immediate final vote on the rezoning petition.

After debate, the board voted (non-unanimous) to table Z25-03 \"until such time as appropriate action can be taken in reference to text amendment to the land development regulation City of Lake City.\" The motion passed with a majority of votes; one commissioner voted no. The action keeps the application alive while staff and the applicant pursue a citywide text amendment or a consolidated block rezoning; the board noted that even if it were to recommend denial, the matter could still be appealed or taken before City Council, which makes the final decision.

The record shows this matter prompted discussion of broader policy: whether the CN classification should be limited to arterial/collector roads or be available on neighborhood streets in transition. Staff estimated a text amendment would require multiple public hearings (board and two council readings) and could take three to six months to complete, depending on agenda scheduling.","After heated public comment and competing staff findings, the Planning and Zoning Board on May 13 voted to table a rezoning petition for two parcels on Southwest Laurel Lane pending a possible text amendment to the city's land-development regulations that would allow commercial-neighborhood (CN) zoning on neighborhood streets.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6057245,"Planning board approves comp-plan amendment and rezoning for gym site; developer says use will be training-only",139,1867000,2006000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3307541-3be8fd99276f0ab4cfdd3a12508b061f&start=1867&end=2006","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3307541-3be8fd99276f0ab4cfdd3a12508b061f/thumbnail_1867000.jpg","/articles/6057245/Lake-City/Columbia-County/Florida/Planning-board-approves-comp-plan-amendment-and-rezoning-for-gym-site-developer-says-use-will-be-training-only","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6057245-73f065cd5cbe94969b2ca8c16ae0c1a1/orig.mp4?Expires=1776600814&Signature=bOqGUsXjYWDzC~EejSKon1osKjaGP34sl8L5EYUkOm9ZKPINH6mcmiGI3~32YYjSSj~3QqvqiURZ~Q19~h~YGFt5b9sKDSkDk-NInow72UAys3iBZ-rvOo8IyaCyBhnTFqlR4r9pvXOl7kODdzn4tNe9BrjVKrF3XJl-~0G9mmrmg7PD9ouQ0RjgOGH8899c3HADL0DR7aqVMxmPHIOMqZQlNGA~wcOZ2p1C-EZr-337SQzJFFcy-rVUnRkX5uqjYD09fRo47nG6bs2c7hvotRrySn~cZSO8NbzumOtAgpY89T9u~z7dJ9BQXaCEMTJSOiUf3nkxAT8cV7JuSfvL9Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning and Zoning Board on May 13 recommended approval of a comprehensive-plan amendment (CPA 25-03) and companion rezoning (Z25-04) to permit commercial use at a parcel proposed for an elite cheerleading training gym.

City staff presented the petitions and said the parcel then designated Residential Medium (up to eight dwelling units per acre) would be consistent with nearby commercial uses and that staff found the petitions compliant with the comprehensive plan and land-development regulations. Staff recommended approval and asked that the presentation be placed in the record.

Carol Chadwick, P.E., acting as agent for TJL Associates LLC, told the board the owners proposed a private gymnasium for \"elite cheerleading training. They don't have any competitions there. This is strictly for training.\" Chadwick said the operation would be primarily drop-off and pick-up; when commissioners asked whether parents would stay to watch, the applicant replied they \"in general... don't stay and watch.\" Chadwick estimated age ranges roughly \"5 or 6 up to 18.\" She said parking was sized to accommodate the proposed building and any future additions would include corresponding parking expansions.

Board members asked about hours of operation; the applicant suggested most training would occur after school with possible daytime sessions in summer and estimated activities would not run past about 8:30 p.m. The board moved and recommended approval of both the comprehensive-plan amendment (CPA 25-03) and the rezoning (Z25-04) by unanimous votes.

Staff and the applicant noted the petition would return for site-plan review before construction; staff also briefly suggested residential-office (RO) as an alternative zoning category in related cases but said it would not allow a salon or the uses proposed here.

The board's recommendations will be forwarded to the City Council for final action.","The Lake City Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of a future land-use change and companion rezoning to allow a commercial gym for elite cheerleading training; the applicant said the facility will be for training only with parents dropping off and picking up children.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6057249,"Lake City planning board backs Racetrack site annexation and city commercial zoning",886,466000,1352000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3307541-3be8fd99276f0ab4cfdd3a12508b061f&start=466&end=1352","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3307541-3be8fd99276f0ab4cfdd3a12508b061f/thumbnail_466000.jpg","/articles/6057249/Lake-City/Columbia-County/Florida/Lake-City-planning-board-backs-Racetrack-site-annexation-and-city-commercial-zoning","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6057249-15c646a514f181105ab8acabf0c7ec8c/orig.mp4?Expires=1776600814&Signature=OQ0KxEoUfyyej6Gdow0DP~UJ3eb6ygNiVQU1I9Tw89oR0RD8oYVp4vPour~FfsBoGKE0tokXPHqJSlcn1tMVetjhuKsvNlpcWuRCMmV~7e3Gr6zT1MWgi9x1zpMZwgN1iTV0BjU1YZEv3FccHGYD8drT-gLIw3V6cB46XWXj3Tbfzxd0dbdBMIxDk7RuNuG8CXvVCojuZsS65tK6mzZISUph2m86rbxjNdxVYDYYUNOn3jLcUx90Yo4FO12CgE-la1C988g2aAmDc427BZkHIR1G5J9N1RB1DdXaioran97TeC~4pj8kb2ky1SVoMdo03Ront8qIkJfVauhKvAQcUw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lake City Planning and Zoning Board on May 13 recommended unanimous approval of a small-scale comprehensive-plan amendment and a companion rezoning to allow a Racetrack convenience and fueling site at 3882 West U.S. Highway 90 to be treated under the city's commercial land-use and zoning rules.

The action followed a staff presentation that said the property had been recently annexed and that the requested change would convert the parcel's future land use from County Highway Interchange to City Commercial and the zoning from County Commercial Highway Interchange to the city's equivalent CHI designation. City planner John Thomas told the board staff found the petitions in compliance with the comprehensive plan and land-development regulations and recommended approval.

The applicant team, represented by attorney Simone Savino of Stearns Weaver Miller, presented the project and its community amenities. Michael Mullen, listed as lead engineering project manager for Racetrack, said the company planned outdoor seating, Wi-Fi, fresh-food offerings and convenience retail, and estimated the site would employ about \"25 to 30 locals\" when open.

Board members asked no substantive follow-up questions during the quasi-judicial hearing. After the closing statements, a motion to recommend approval of CPA 25-02 and the companion rezoning Z25-02 passed by unanimous vote. The board's recommendation will go to the City Council for final action.

The petitions were processed under Florida Statutes sections 163.3161 through 163.3248 governing comprehensive-plan amendments. City staff noted the site totals about 3.65 acres with 2.01 acres recently annexed into the city; the comprehensive-plan amendment was handled as a small-scale amendment so no state transmittal was required.

The Planning and Zoning Board's recommendation is advisory; council action remains required to finalize the land-use and zoning changes.

The board did not receive any intervenor testimony or public opposition during the hearing; applicant materials and staff presentations were entered into the record.","The Lake City Planning and Zoning Board unanimously recommended that the City Council approve a comprehensive-plan amendment and companion rezoning that would place a Racetrack convenience-and-fuel site into the city's City Commercial zoning and land-use categories following recent annexation.","actionData","errors"]
