Putnam County approves rezoning for Habitat for Humanity secondhand store in Palatka
Summary
The commission unanimously approved Rezoning 25‑00005 (Ordinance 2025‑016) to change a 1.21‑acre site at 210 South Palm Avenue from C1/R1A to C2 to allow a Habitat for Humanity secondhand store and office; the planning commission had recommended unanimous approval.
On June 24, 2025, Putnam County commissioners voted unanimously to approve Rezoning 25‑00005 (Ordinance 2025‑016), a zoning map amendment requested by Putnam Habitat for Humanity for a 1.21‑acre parcel at 210 South Palm Avenue in Palatka.
Planning and Development Services staff presented the application, noting the change from Commercial Neighborhood (C1) and Residential 1A (R1A) to Commercial Retail (C2) to allow a secondhand store and office. Staff said the site is designated Urban Service in the future land‑use map, has about 200 feet of frontage on South Palm Avenue, is adjacent to the Palatka city boundary, and is located in FEMA Flood Zone X (not a special‑flood‑hazard area).
Staff recommended approval, and the Planning Commission had unanimously recommended the same. During the public hearing, no speakers registered opposition and the applicant did not present additional remarks.
“Madam chair, I’d like to move to rezone Rez 25‑00005 Putnam Habitat for Humanity, ordinance 2025‑016,” a commissioner said; the motion was seconded and the board voted aye, with the chair announcing the motion carried unanimously.
Following the vote, staff noted that approval triggers standard development‑review processes: the applicant must obtain Development Review Committee sign‑offs and any permits required for development in the C2 district before construction or site work can begin.
