St. Johns County, FL to Consider Making Certain Revisions to the Comprehensive Plan
The 2050 Comprehensive Plan was heard at the Board of County Commissioners' meetings on May 20, 2025, June 3, 2025, and July 22nd, which was the original Transmittal Hearing. The 2050 Comp Plan received a unanimous vote to Transmit. Subsequent to the Transmittal to the State, the Florida Department of Commerce rejected St. Johns County's Comprehensive Plan, due to alleged violations of Senate Bill 180 (SB180), which restricts a County or Municipal government's ability to institute more restrictive or burdensome land development or comprehensive plan regulations. County staff, along with the Comprehensive Plan consultant, Inspire Place Making Collective, have revised the 2050 Comprehensive Plan to remove any language deemed more restrictive or burdensome, as well as language deemed potentially more restrictive or burdensome. Made part of this item is a quick reference guide providing all restrictive and burdensome policies identified by the state, and the proposed action to correct; the majority of policies will revert to their original form as found in the current 2025 Comprehensive Plan. Also attached is the most recent draft of the 2050 Comprehensive Plan for Transmittal, restrictive and burdensome changes are highlighted in yellow.
