The chair opened and closed the public hearing on the item; a resident, Crystal Grealings, held a speaker card and was given the option to speak at either the Sept. 2 or Oct. 7 hearing. The commission voted in favor of the applicant’s request to continue the items to the Oct. 7 meeting. No substantive policy action was taken; the continuation preserves the applicant’s right to return with a revised package for full consideration.

Zoning staff presented the site and noted that the Fleming Island Citizens Advisory Committee recommended denial 3–2, citing concern about encroachment into residential areas and traffic. Staff recommended approval, saying the use is consistent with surrounding uses and the county land development code. Staff also said that prior concerns about retail and non-medical professional offices had been addressed; the applicant told the commission they had withdrawn a broader PUD proposal and refiled as a straight PS-3 rezoning to eliminate retail and unrelated office space.

Attorney Robert White, representing the applicant, said the project now is strictly medical and includes an ambulatory surgical center and related medical offices. “This is now strictly a medical facility with an ambulatory surgical center and professional… medical offices for doctors,” White told the commission.

Some commissioners reiterated objections that the proposal is inconsistent with Fleming Island’s community plan but said the change to PS-3 (which limits nonmedical commercial uses) reduced the commission’s concerns. Commissioners also noted planned roadway improvements along County Road 220 and said traffic impacts were not dispositive for their recommendation.

A motion to approve the staff report passed by voice vote. Commissioners asked that the applicant continue coordination with Development Review Committee (DRC) processes to achieve “generally similar” site-plan elements shown in the application.

The Planning Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners for final action.","The commission voted to recommend rezoning a 2-acre parcel on County Road 220 from AR to PS-3 to allow an ambulatory surgical center and medically related offices, after the applicant removed prior general retail/professional components.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":44,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":50,"_51":93,"_53":94,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":95,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":96,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6481495,"Planning commission recommends approval of land-use change for Black Creek parcel despite conservation-map dispute; vote 5–2",1560,4618000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5706730-1c1fcb05498138f56884801af5f2b5b9&start=3058&end=4618","/articles/6481495/Clay-County/Florida/Planning-commission-recommends-approval-of-land-use-change-for-Black-Creek-parcel-despite-conservation-map-dispute-vote-52","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6481495-6d84949920bb7fa63b8951d73ddad136/orig.mp4?Expires=1770487570&Signature=Cn5CobMQzaAS-y9aV10BKtrgNnJPdMo21Jk6OMi9k3OZrdTxoAZJ-6DLXvtBkKr8G~NAscXruGxS4qBm6kLtQQwtO7wmsf2b3IRyaU6V4BngyRVy1CkgJpzXMLrUQMYa9Jcjc9kwAmQ-pmSbhdWJoln13TSRpdXy9Hg03ST6A7edi2~JncTM7SW78iEzRpHauK8d3yqDqbxGOaCvuzqaXJwF~CsQm09lqNoJ7eahWBQ48OWOuNjjtcDUYsLy98oyPheZBM3i7F8kp1Iwq4g7u-4SNszxSFWoP6RjQti~4Ee8TT6cXysDJF~YrvZwTAmK5b6ckSK5d8hc0kNH3K1fOQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Clay County Planning Commission on Sept. 2 voted 5–2 to recommend approval of a comprehensive-plan amendment and related development application for a property on Black Creek (CompPlan250004), a proposal that drew sharp questions about whether the parcel is properly shown as conservation land on county maps and about prior permitting from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

Applicant representatives said the bulkhead work on the property predated or was permitted in earlier years, and that the owner had obtained required remediation approvals and paid any DEP-required fines. Kathleen Lanahan and her father, James Linehan, described a multi-year history of permits, partial construction of a bulkhead and subsequent state permit activity; Linehan said he obtained an initial permit for a portion of the frontage in the late 2000s and later pursued the remaining work with updated state permits.

Dodie Seelig, chief planner, told the commission she had communicated with DEP staff and that DEP had said requirements related to the prior encroachment and mitigation were satisfied. Commissioners pressed on chronology: whether the work was completed before permits were issued, which led to discussion of inspections, the timing of state versus county approvals and whether the county’s conservation designation (referred to in the meeting as part of the Brannonfield/Brandyfield conservation mapping) should prevent the land-use change.

Several commissioners voiced concern about perceived lack of coordination between state permitting and the county map designation. One commissioner said he was “in a quandary” that DEP issued and closed a permit while county mapping still shows the parcel as conservation. Another commissioner proposed denying the request on that basis, but the motion failed for lack of a second. A subsequent motion to recommend approval passed by voice vote; the clerk recorded the final count as 5 in favor and 2 opposed.

Commission discussion also referenced surveys, wetland delineations and prior mitigation work presented by the applicant; the applicant said he had provided multiple surveys and soil tests showing the buildable upland area and asserted DEP had approved the mitigation and closed the state permit file. Commissioners emphasized that state and county jurisdictions differ: DEP oversees the bulkhead and immediate waterward activities, while county land-use designations drive whether the county will allow new building permits on conservation-designated parcels.

The commission’s recommendation will go to the Board of County Commissioners. The record shows the county asked no formal concurrence from DEP before the vote; staff said they could provide copies of email exchanges with DEP staff documenting that DEP considered its conditions satisfied.","After contested testimony about an after-the-fact bulkhead and whether the parcel sits in a designated conservation area, the Planning Commission recommended approval of a comp-plan amendment and development request for a Black Creek property (CompPlan250004) by a 5–2 vote.",{"_33":98,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":99,"_41":100,"_43":101,"_45":102,"_47":103,"_49":104,"_51":105,"_53":106,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":107,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":108,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6481500,"Planning commissioners back rezoning to allow outdoor tire storage on County Road 218, ask for development agreement",2573,458000,3031000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5706730-1c1fcb05498138f56884801af5f2b5b9&start=458&end=3031","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5706730-1c1fcb05498138f56884801af5f2b5b9/thumbnail_458000.jpg","/articles/6481500/Clay-County/Florida/Planning-commissioners-back-rezoning-to-allow-outdoor-tire-storage-on-County-Road-218-ask-for-development-agreement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6481500-584618445fc4727a6223917b4750503d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770487570&Signature=RbFGNiif5pAiLD-9T34WxFeWX-FsPKY7L8MYqsHcQFbroyzMa3dflhL~mBQ-cs4pAK0~aBOzvtrVWuHz6Y-XUHfGhj8rOBNGT378k9iiqvC8p2gpfgQwYRHZyl~evSUZD5OVtIa9-s5qjhE3ewYz1KCD2SmhZdgee5--7k56f4xu99HjlTOGErfukWogVlL6zvGVE1dInIvKqfz-F2MpwmG24z8ojZpIfocVR8PXDC0Au5ljx0~lTzLpsumFLaOdYwNqvmReDu~tcgQdmVJC9xwzytyQTJ5mBn7q7hcTuScF3IIjaDM23ItaMAo0WmjC8qFNHhVhxPdxXBCr3LBA6A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Clay County Planning Commission on Sept. 2 recommended approval of a rezoning request (ZON250019) to allow outdoor storage of large agricultural tires on a roughly 5-acre parcel adjacent to County Road 218 in the Clay Hill overlay, with the commission requiring a development agreement spelling out screening, location and stacking limits.

The request sought to change the parcel’s zoning from BA-2 (local/office-commercial) to BB-3 (a heavier commercial district). Jenny Bridal, Clay County zoning chief, told commissioners the staff analysis found the request “inconsistent with the intent of the land development code and the Clay Hill overlay” and recommended denial. Bridal noted the overlay’s design standards and a 15-foot opaque buffer requirement for outdoor storage.

Applicant Sarah Smart (owner/operator of the tire business at the address shown in the application) described the operation as an agricultural-tire service that stores large tires used on logging and forestry equipment. “We are willing to put a top on them or to treat them regularly with a bleach and water,” Smart said, adding the business had tried to place storage inside a pole barn but faced constraints from the fire marshal.

Commission discussion centered on compatibility with the Clay Hill overlay’s aesthetic standards, public visibility from County Road 218 and practical controls (fencing, buffer plantings and stacking height). Several commissioners referenced adjacent existing BB zoning farther along 218 and differing interpretations of whether approval would constitute spot zoning. Commissioner Bill Garrison and others described the area’s mix of longstanding industrial uses and said they wanted protections to avoid a visible “junkyard” outcome; commissioners repeatedly returned to the 15-foot screening requirement and the need to ensure stacks were not visible from the road.

To address those concerns, a commissioner moved to recommend approval on the condition that the applicant and county execute a development agreement before the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) hearing. The suggested agreement would require obscuring screening along 218, limit stacking height to a level that would prevent visibility from the roadway, and confine outdoor storage to the rear portion of the parcel. The motion was seconded and the commission voted in favor; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.

The Middleburg Clay Hill Citizens Advisory Committee previously recommended approval by a 7–0 vote; Bridal noted the request was not heard by the Clay Hill advisory board, a separate body focused on overlay criteria. Bridal also said the BB district is an older classification no longer selectable in new zoning, and that the proposed BB-3 intensity differs from the BA-2 uses predominant immediately adjacent to the parcel.

The commission instructed staff to draft a development agreement for the applicant to sign before the BCC hearing and told the applicant to meet with staff before leaving the meeting.

The BCC will consider the Planning Commission’s recommendation at a future BCC meeting; the applicant was told to coordinate with staff on the development agreement ahead of that hearing.","The Clay County Planning Commission voted to recommend rezoning of a 5-acre Clay Hill property to allow outdoor agricultural tire storage, conditioned on a development agreement that will limit storage area, screening and stacking height.","actionData","errors"]
