Board tables one rezoning and approves another for East Palatka properties owned by Kevin Fisher
Summary
The board tabled REZ25-000010 to allow the applicant to provide a corrected legal description for lands on the east side of State Road 207, and unanimously approved REZ25-000011 to rezone multiple parcels to Commercial General (C-3), clearing the way for a used-car sales facility under ordinance 2025-031.
At its Oct. 28 meeting the Putnam County Board of County Commissioners handled two zoning map amendment requests from applicant Kevin Fisher.
REZ25-000010: The board tabled the proposal to amend zoning for 1.9 acres because the planning commission expressed concern that the application included small tracts on the west side of State Road 207 that could encroach on residential uses. Staff recommended the applicant provide a legal description limited to the lands on the east side of 207. Fisher told the board he expects to receive the survey/legal description within days. The board voted to table the item to the Nov. 18 meeting at 9:00 a.m. so the corrected legal description can be filed.
REZ25-000011: The second application, seeking to rezone approximately 2.01 acres along State Road 207 from mixed commercial and residential districts to Commercial General (C-3) to allow a used-car sales operation, received a unanimous recommendation from the Planning Commission. Staff found the request consistent with the comprehensive plan and compatible with the C-3 locational requirements. The board voted to approve the rezoning and adopted ordinance 2025-031.
Both items will require standard Development Review Committee (DRC) review for any subsequent site plan or permit approvals. Staff reminded the board that wetlands and FEMA flood-layer checks indicated the parcels are within FEMA Zone X and did not appear to contain jurisdictional wetlands on the GIS layers used for staff review.
Ending: Applicant and staff will return to the board with updated legal descriptions for the tabled REZ25-000010 at the Nov. 18 hearing; the approved REZ25-000011 will proceed to DRC review for site-level approvals.
