Staff: several major projects moving through early permit steps; Atlantic Avenue permit imminent

Fernandina Beach Planning Advisory Board · August 12, 2026

Summary

Staff reported several major development inquiries and projects in preliminary stages downtown, on Amelia Parkway and the Surf site; the Atlantic Avenue project has building-permit approvals and is expected to pull permits mid-month.

Margaret and other staff said the city has at least five major projects in the "hopper," including three downtown projects, the Surf site and two projects on Amelia Parkway. On Atlantic Avenue staff reported that permits are in place and that contractors were expected to pull building permits around the 17th of the month.

Staff emphasized these are preliminary phases and that several projects will require transportation or capacity studies as part of their reviews. The board asked for updates on funding and timing for the Atlantic Avenue stormwater and road work; staff said they would follow up with project-specific schedule information.
