St. Augustine City Monitoring Proposed Development in Anastasia State Park The City of St. Augustine has announced that it is monitoring a proposed development in Anastasia State Park, which has sparked concern among local residents. During the city's budget meeting on Thursday morning, City Manager David Birchim stated that the city was neither contacted nor informed by the state about its proposal to build a 350-room hotel, disc golf course, and pickleball courts within the state park.
Birchim emphasized that the city requires time to review the project and determine its compliance with the city's comprehensive plan and code ordinances. According to Birchim, if the state requires approval for any aspect of the project from the city, it must apply for permits. The city has appealed to the community for patience... requesting time to gather more information about the proposed development and its progression through the local review process.
It is unclear at this time whether the proposed development is in line with the city's vision for the park, "or whether it will meet the necessary standards and regulations." The city's comprehensive plan and code ordinances prioritize the protection of the park's natural and recreational resources... as well as the preservation of its historic and cultural significance.
