# Jacksonville Planning Advisory Board - August 10, 2026

The Jacksonville Planning Advisory Board held its regular meeting on August 10, 2026, focusing primarily on zoning and development ordinance amendments. Key procurement-related discussions included a proposed text amendment to allow hotel-to-multifamily housing conversions by modifying setback requirements and use permissions, which was deferred for further staff review to consider special use permit options and potential impacts. Another significant item was a text amendment to increase allowable days for special events, such as carnivals and food truck events, which was approved. The board also approved a map amendment rezoning a commercial parcel to allow more diverse tenant uses. Additionally, the meeting covered updates on multifamily design standards amendments aimed at reducing regulatory burdens and clarifying landscaping and building material requirements. The board discussed legislative impacts on zoning authority, particularly regarding downzoning restrictions in military host counties. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were reported, but several policy and ordinance changes could influence future development and procurement activities in Jacksonville.
