Advisory Board update
Restructure Advisory Boards
The consultant hired by the City to oversee the revisions
to the City’s land development regulations (Ms. Gail Easley) has reaffirmed her
intention to recommend a restructuring of the Planning Advisory Board, the
Historic District Council and the Board of Adjustments into a “Planning
Commission”. The details of this recommendation will not be available until
February or March.
CFOF is extremely concerned about such a realignment given
the critical role each of these advisory boards has in protecting the character
of Fernandina Beach. As soon as the details are announced, CFOF will study them
and issue a position.
