The Apalachicola Planning and Zoning Board will hold a
planning workshop at 4:30 pm Monday, May 9 to discuss variances and other possible
regulatory relief options for the rehabilitation of non-conforming historic
structures in the City. Representatives from the State Department of Economic
Opportunity (DEO), banking and insurance industries have been invited to
attend. The workshop will precede the board’s regularly scheduled meeting at 6
pm.
The following issues are expected to be discussed at the
workshop:
1.
Provisions to allow historic structures to be
grandfathered and to be considered conforming if currently non-conforming.
2.
Explore options to provide for the sale and
rehabilitation of non-conforming structures.
4.
Extending the grandfathering period for historic
nonconforming vacant buildings.
5.
Explore the potential for reducing the minimum
residential standards.
6.
Defining historic housing stock
7.
Encourage the redevelopment of historic housing
stock for low and moderate income housing.
The goal of the workshop and followup research will be to prepare a proposed land development regulation(s) or amendments to existing land development regulations to allow redevelopment of lots located within the historic section of the City of Apalachicola where development has already occurred, particularly where development is nonconforming as to density, setbacks, and minimum lot sizes, and the lot(s) contains architecturally contributing structures.
