Ponte Vedra zoning rules updated to reflect SB 784 changes to plat approvals
The Board of County Commissioners considered LDCA (PV) 2025-06 on Aug. 19, an amendment to the Ponte Vedra Zoning and District Regulations to maintain consistency with changes to Florida law enacted by Senate Bill 784 that took effect July 1, 2025. The statute cited in the agenda, F.S. 177.091, governs plat and replat processing.

The agenda text says SB 784 requires administrative approval of a plat or replat submitted pursuant to F.S. 177.091 according to certain processing criteria. The Ponte Vedra Zoning and Adjustment Board heard the item Aug. 4, 2025; the agenda says a summary of the PVZAB vote and any substantive discussion would be provided when the item was presented.

The agenda also notes a parallel amendment (LDCA 2025-05) to the county Land Development Code was considered by the board July 22, 2025, and approved 5–0 (motion by Commissioner Murphy, second by Commissioner Arnold). At the Aug. 19 meeting the item was listed as a public hearing; the meeting materials do not record a subsequent roll-call vote on LDCA (PV) 2025-06 in the provided transcript.

County staff presenting the item was listed as Matthew Lahti, P.E., with Evan Walsnovich, planner, as staff member for the item. The transcript does not include the PVZAB vote text; staff indicated the PVZAB summary would be given at the item presentation.
