The most notable item discussed was the annexation request for a property located on Edgar Street. The board unanimously approved the annexation, allowing the property to connect to the city’s water supply. This request also required amending the future land use map from Putnam County Urban Reserve to City of Palatka Residential Low and rezoning from a county unincorporated single-family residential designation to a city single-family residential zoning district. Officials confirmed that the annexation complied with Florida Statutes governing such actions and that there was sufficient water capacity for the property.

Another prominent issue was the final plat approval for Fairway Estates, formerly known as Mosley Heights. This item had been continued from the previous meeting due to required changes. The applicant submitted revisions, including a name change and addressing boundary references, which satisfied the board’s concerns. The board approved the final plat.

A contentious topic was the rezoning request for a parcel on Twig Street from R1 (single-family residential) to R2 (two-family residential) to allow for the construction of a duplex. The request had faced opposition due to concerns over spot zoning. A member of the public referenced the city commission’s historical stance against spot zoning, emphasizing the need for zoning consistency. The planning board concluded that the rezoning from residential to residential did not constitute spot zoning and recommended approval. The request to amend the future land use designation from other public facilities to residential medium was also approved.
