Next Tuesday (May 5th) at 2:00 PM the City of St. Augustine Planning and Zoning Board will consider the application by Old Island Hotels Corporation to rezone nearly an acre of land currently zoned Historic Preservation 1 (HP-1) residential to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for a commercial hotel and outdoor party venue (Item 8(b) on the agenda)
The applicant has been vague about where the 30 hotel guest parking spaces will be. The applicant and his staff of St. Augustine insiders haven't even considered where the 150 party guests not staying at the hotel will park.
If you think a hotel and party venue in a residential neighborhood is a BAD IDEA and sets a TERRIBLE precedent for all of St. Augustine's residential neighborhoods AND you aren't afraid of the threat of zombie Flagler College students renting out apartments at the refurbished Dow Museum houses, PLEASE ATTEND THE PZB MEETING AND MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!
It REALLY, REALLY matters how many people show up and voice their opposition.
Protect our neighborhoods! Take a stand and make yourself heard!

NO PUDs WITHOUT DETAILED PLANS.
ReplyDeletePZB must just say NO to the bully DAVID BARTON CORNEAL and his stable of whores, including, ex-Commissioner DONALD CRICHLOW, current HARB members PAUL WEAVER III and JEREMY MARQUIS, and fired former CIty Planning and Building Director MARK ALAN KNIGHT. There must be full disclosure of CORNEAL's payments to these willful men.
