Planning Commission 10/6/2026

Clay County Planning Commission meeting, October 6, 2026: Staff briefed the commission on two applications to Florida DEP’s outdoor recreation grant program, seeking up to $200,000 each for improvements at Doctor’s Lake Park and Moody Avenue Park. Proposed work includes pier and kayak-launch improvements, parking and ADA access, playground surfacing and equipment, and drainage. The applications were scheduled for County Commission consideration on October 13, with a state submission deadline of October 15. No grant awards, bid approvals, or procurement contracts were made at this meeting. The commission also approved several land-use recommendations, including a zoning-use amendment for a walk-in testing laboratory and development-related applications for Governor’s Park and Agricola. The Governor’s Park development agreement includes a reported $670,000 payment toward State Road 16 improvements; the applicant also cited approximately $13 million in regional roadway investment and about $82 million in work underway or imminent. These are developer commitments, not county contract awards. The Agricola recommendation included adding Brandenfield lighting standards and requiring roadways to be at least 24 feet wide. The transcript does not clearly establish a final commission vote on the proposed industrial land-use and rezoning applications near County Roads 209 South and 226; staff said a continuance was anticipated at the October 13 County Commission meeting.
