Special Uses and Article VII Signs. This is a discussion item on two potential
amendments to the Land Development Code: 1)expanding the commercial zoning
designations within St. Johns County that allow mobile food vendors; and, 2)
Revising Article VII, Part 7.10.00 "Race Track Road Signs" to amend the boundaries

Item 10 - Discussion of Registered Architectural Review Associations (LDC 5.03.02.H).
The Board of County Commissioners directed this office and staff to address the
relationship between the Building Code, the Land Development Code and the
Registered Architectural Review Associations (RARA) found in LDC 5.03.02.H. This
section of the code requires that prior to obtaining an Architectural Permit, which
ranges from a Building Permit to clearance sheets to exterior changes, that approval
from a registered association (usually a HOA) be obtained. There are exemptions and
alternative measures to proceed without obtaining such approval. The purpose is to
avoid costly and unnecessary expenses between the requirements of the building
code or county ordinance and the requirements of the private architectural standards
in a HOA. While it has proven to be a popular program amongst the HOAs, Growth
Management and Building Services staff have noted customer dissatisfaction from
individuals seeking to pull building permits.
