The City of St. Augustine Planning and Building Department will host a public workshop for the public to provide input related to resilient building techniques on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, from 5:30pm to 7:30pm at City Hall in The Alcazar Room, located at 75 King Street.
The workshop will focus on building and construction techniques in flood prone areas. This includes a discussion on the amount of fill allowed on properties, retaining walls, and other types of more resilient development options.
The Planning and Zoning Board (PZB) has been tasked by the City Commission to consider these issues, impacts on adjacent properties and low-lying areas, and the potential adoption of provisions to address these issues in the land development code.
