Votes at a glance: Planning & Zoning Board actions — Nov. 18, 2025
Summary
The board approved several site items (including a tree removal and an on‑site setback reduction), tabled a tree‑protection ordinance first reading for revisions, and denied a high‑profile street‑side setback variance for an oceanfront lot.
Key actions taken by the City of St. Augustine Beach Planning & Zoning Board on Nov. 18, 2025:
- Approval: Minutes of the Oct. 21, 2025 regular meeting (motion carried).
- Approval: Item for 122 14th Street — applicant informed the board they were no longer using flexible setbacks for a proposed single‑family home; staff presented a revised site plan and the board approved proceeding as submitted.
- Approval: Tree removal at 379 Ocean Forest Drive — request to remove a 30‑inch live oak to accommodate a pool and detached garage was approved after the applicant’s agent noted neighborhood approval from Anastasia Dunes.
- Approval: Variance 2025‑11 — reduced separation between a proposed detached garage and the primary residence from 10 feet to 5.4 feet as shown on the submitted site plan; staff and the applicant said building and fire code issues were addressed and ARB approval had been obtained.
- Tabled: Proposed ordinance revisions to flexible setbacks and tree preservation (first reading). Staff will refine the draft (species list, arborist‑report content and cluster rules) and return to the board for additional review.
- Denied: Old business variance request to reduce street‑side setback from 12 feet to 9 feet on a recently subdivided oceanfront lot; the board concluded the application did not sufficiently demonstrate a hardship and voted to deny the variance.
