St. Johns County commissioners placed a discussion item on Aug. 19 to consider the Land Development Code definition of “recreational vehicles” and heard companion public-hearing items for a proposed Deer Park Boat & RV Storage development at 3845 and 3855 County Road 210 W.

Mike Roberson, director of Growth Management, presented the Land Development Code discussion at the board’s request following a July 22 direction from the chair. Separately, a public hearing notice for CPA(SS) 2024-13 and PUD 2024-12 describes a companion pair of applications seeking to change about 10.61 acres from Rural/Silviculture to Residential-C and to rezone the parcel from Open Rural to Planned Unit Development to allow up to 106,200 square feet of commercial uses, including boat and RV storage.

The agenda notes the Planning and Zoning Agency first considered the applications March 20, 2025, continued them, and on June 26, 2025 the Agency’s motion for approval failed in a 3–3 vote. According to the PZA record in the agenda text, members Perkins, Green, and Labanowski voted in support; Hilsenbeck, Spiegel, and Olson dissented; Member Matovina was absent. The applications were readvertised after revisions.

At the Aug. 19 meeting the item appeared on the board’s regular agenda as a discussion and as public hearings; the meeting transcript and agenda text do not record a final county-commission vote on either the Land Development Code definition or the Deer Park CPA/PUD. County staff indicated the board requested the topic be discussed; no ordinance or rezoning motion is recorded in the meeting materials provided.

Key details in the file: the proposal covers approximately 10.61 acres at 3845 and 3855 County Road 210 W and seeks a maximum of 106,200 square feet of commercial uses under the PUD application. The PZA’s 6/26/2025 tie vote is recorded in the agenda summary; the county presentation identifies the July 22, 2025 board request to discuss recreational-vehicle definitions but does not list specific code language changes in the meeting materials.

If the board takes further action, staff said formal notice, revised code language, and any proposed ordinance or development order would be brought back for a separate vote.
