Re: Sea Turtle Inn-Zoning and Land Use Designation
Dear Ms. Davis:
The Sea Turtle Inn is recognized by the City as a legally established and vested use for this
specific property. The property is within the Commercial General (CG) Zoning District and is
designated as Commercial on the City's Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan. The
development of the Sea Turtle property predates many of our local land development regulations,
and I am advised that motels were a permitted use within the CG district at the time the Sea
Turtle was constructed; therefore, no Use-by-Exception was required. Regardless, the Sea Turtle
Inn property, limited to the hotel and accessory uses and activities, is recognized as a legally
vested use for that property. Our City Clerk's office has also researched archived records and
can find no record of a Use-by-Exception being approved for the site. The property, to the
City's knowledge, is currently in compliance with applicable local Land Development
Regulations and Florida Building Codes. Please feel free to call me at 904 247-5826 with any
further questions.
Sincerely,
