During general public comment, the board member said they had discussed the issue with the county manager and asked that staff place an item on a future agenda or schedule a workshop. The member urged consideration of a ‘‘sundown clause’’ so that restrictions on sale to nonfamily members would expire after a set period, citing the county’s SHIP down-payment assistance program as an example with a 10-year restriction. The member said: “a good man leaveth an inheritance to his children and his children's children,” and said residents should be able to gift land to future generations beyond direct children.

Planning staff responded that significant changes to the Land Development Code typically belong to the comprehensive plan and LDC update process and are not handled as one-off items, but staff said a workshop-style agenda item could be scheduled if the board provides clearer direction on the topics and the information the board wants staff to prepare. The chair and staff suggested the member meet with staff (references in the record to Ms. May and Elizabeth) to refine questions and potential data needs; staff indicated they would coordinate dates with clerks and the board for a future workshop or a one-hour session before a regular meeting.

Several board members voiced support for exploring changes. One board member noted that marketable-title recording rules may cause certain deed restrictions to lapse unless renewed, and staff acknowledged owners may need to renew restrictions. The board asked staff to follow up and said members could also provide additional direction to staff by e-mail.

The board agreed to pursue scheduling and staff said they would follow up with the requestors to set a workshop or agenda item in coordination with planning staff and clerks.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Nassau County - Nassau County Planning and Zoning Board - May 20, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A board member asked the Nassau County Planning and Zoning Board on May 20 to schedule a workshop to consider changes to family-hardship development rules, proposing a sunset on restrictions that bar sale to nonfamily members and asking whether restrictions could be limited to 10 years like SHIP program deeds.","taxTitle","Nassau County, Florida","taxId",72832,"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},6651245,"Board approves family cemetery on Crosby property in District 4; rights declared transferable",1534,349000,1883000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3413760-24410e3bd9cfe506e89e4c90ae20692e&start=349&end=1883","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3413760-24410e3bd9cfe506e89e4c90ae20692e/thumbnail_349000.jpg","/articles/6651245/Nassau-County/Florida/Board-approves-family-cemetery-on-Crosby-property-in-District-4-rights-declared-transferable","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6651245-c65d9b76da56f0e8ab703423234739c1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771025645&Signature=R13EM7MIn4u1ZD97LAUD1PzFy17TKRwnHnjdkoTvBTGtEAEHlG1SVBQ4scCbfqCuV5-eiL6nMpKSH3O552d7VtKhOrm3RSKvCGtdWfhhUcqMHPdTzRZatJx35GWN31mJfRts7QOaLANeac7YcEQ0BhZYvkwlhrXtf~zcFhlfq-tI0TbRCbfluHjfYmcNFRAhZdglfVi119DAzLFanUMtIERzcdDFMEsessRCLumHpQDL0Nxn4cW9dLfg5qX8rVxMYarXJuNSoelmxgyL1R2WiusiDruXXmo-iW3D79eVfhojPmeB~lW4vnHPIliq8XsFO5zqi2cYOXfqyOSiZn4xnw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nassau County Planning and Zoning Board on May 20 approved CU2025-006, granting a conditional use permit for a family cemetery on a wooded portion of a more-than-39-acre parcel owned by Nicholas and Sabrina Crosby in Commission District 4.

Planning staff described the proposed cemetery as located in the central-west portion of the parcel, about 720 feet from the nearest residence, and noted it would be used by the applicant’s family. Stephanie Kaiser of the Planning Department said the family cemetery is “considered a use of low intensity” and that no dwelling units will be generated by the conditional use.

Staff concluded the request complies with Land Development Code conditional-use criteria for open rural zoning and recommended approval. The board approved the permit with one condition: the rights associated with the cemetery shall run with the land and be transferable.

There were no public comment cards and the applicant waived a formal presentation. Board members asked whether transferability implied the cemetery would remain for ‘‘the family’’ after a sale; staff replied the transferability is implied by the condition and that the staff prepares deed restrictions and related documents. The board voted 6-0 to approve CU2025-006.

The approval records indicate the action was taken under LDC Article 22, Sec. 22.03(k)(s) and the general conditional-use criteria in Sec. 5.04 A–K.","The Nassau County Planning and Zoning Board approved a conditional use permit for a family cemetery proposed by Nicholas and Sabrina Crosby on a more-than-39-acre parcel on Bridal D Lane and attached a condition that the rights shall run with the land and be transferable.",{"_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},6651250,"Planning board approves temporary mother-in-law dwelling on County Road 121 with annual renewal requirement",771,673000,1444000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3413760-24410e3bd9cfe506e89e4c90ae20692e&start=673&end=1444","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3413760-24410e3bd9cfe506e89e4c90ae20692e/thumbnail_673000.jpg","/articles/6651250/Nassau-County/Florida/Planning-board-approves-temporary-mother-in-law-dwelling-on-County-Road-121-with-annual-renewal-requirement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6651250-92a900d3a477997bf507d6c25773bea0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771025645&Signature=Dwya9rIACPDnAbHL29Sk3QFTdkvUNfB8LA8LOxbFzTIVRhberk6HqHXQLweMZOaH8jeyYl-5wcwQkySIJraylFKe78fWlmsfoXJ0jD88Dby5ipxoHof-lq~IPi42nKHOMkS4O-OGQ5ZPqUN3ATsAoLLSSsqVNly8iRaxjAz40tKiYIxM8fpdYtWe-j61vlIF8Eowm~VmJEgwsrtjvuo5Hmt6jvAZlzBw43U4AZ-vj-OqDYuwDwqm~VNP6xUr6FCiKwQbGPtGIckNZFBQNKxJ39vwf7fWEs-Oln40lrb9pqZVV5OVH2hAuEUKGru7~8lDHuO6ZDiA3KLh7fJwfcUKZA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nassau County Planning and Zoning Board on May 20 approved a conditional use permit to allow a temporary ‘‘mother-in-law’’ mobile home on a parcel along County Road 121 in Commission District 4, subject to two conditions including annual renewal and a notarized residency certification for the named occupants.

Planning Department staff presented the request as CU2025-005. Stephanie Kaiser of the Planning Department told the board, “Mother-in-law dwellings are intended to be temporary in use,” and explained the county’s process of sending annual letters to confirm the named occupants remain in the dwelling.

Staff said the site is on the west side of County Road 121 between Barber Green Road and Baton Road, zoned open rural with a 2030 future land-use designation of agriculture. The department concluded that a temporary mother-in-law dwelling does not count toward density calculations for parcels in that designation and is compatible with surrounding low-density residential and timberland uses.

The board’s approval included two written conditions: the rights and title for the conditional use shall run with the applicant and shall not be transferable; and the exception must be renewed annually. The mover’s draft motion required that the person(s) identified as receiving care for financial hardship — listed in the application as William and Nancy Smith — submit a notarized letter each year to the Nassau County Planning and Development Department proving they still reside at the property. The motion also specified that failure to provide the annual certification will terminate the exception and the owner will have three months to remove the mother-in-law dwelling.

Board members asked staff questions about setbacks, site survey requirements, septic capacity and impact fees. Kaiser said setbacks apply under the open rural standards and that septic permitting is handled through the health department. She said the county treats mother-in-law dwellings as temporary and that occupants named on the application are part of the deed/exception requirement. On school impact fees, staff said the dwelling is generally exempt because of its temporary, hardship purpose.

The applicant waived a formal presentation and there were no public comments. The board voted 6-0 to approve CU2025-005.

Meeting records show the decision was made under Land Development Code conditional-use criteria; the board’s motion cited the applicable LDC sections and the staff report as the basis for finding competent and substantial evidence in the record.","The Nassau County Planning and Zoning Board on May 20 approved a conditional use permit for a temporary mother-in-law mobile home on a rural parcel in District 4, subject to annual certification that the named residents remain on site and a requirement to remove the unit if the exception is terminated.","actionData","errors"]
