Commission denies special-exception request to allow short-term rental at 314 Jones Hallstead Road
Summary
The planning board recommended denial of a special exception to allow a short-term rental at 314 Jones Hallstead Road; the city commission approved the staff/planning board recommendation unanimously.
The Port St. Joe City Commission on June 17 voted to follow the planning board recommendation and deny a special-exception request to permit a short‑term rental at 314 Jones Hallstead Road.
Planning staff told the commission the property owner, Sean Garrett, applied for a special exception to allow a short‑term rental in a district where short‑term rentals are prohibited under the city’s land development regulations. The planning board reviewed the request earlier in the month and voted 5‑0 not to recommend approval to the commission.
Commissioner McCarron moved to approve the planning board’s recommendation; Commissioner Hopkins seconded. The commission voted 4‑0 to deny the special exception. No public speakers addressed the item during the meeting.
The commission’s decision follows the city’s published land development regulations governing allowable uses by zoning district; the denial preserves the current prohibition on short‑term rentals in the property’s zoning district.
