The Nassau County Planning & Zoning Board will hold a public hearing on proposed changes to the Amelia Island Tree Ordinance. The proposed changes to the County’s land development regulation only apply to the unincorporated areas of Amelia Island. The Planning & Zoning Board held a workshop on April 3, 2018 to solicit community feedback and input on the draft, and directed the draft to return for a public hearing in May.
Anyone interested in the proposed changes are encouraged to attend the public hearing and provide comments on the draft Ordinance.
Who: Nassau County Planning & Zoning Board
When: May 15, 2018 at 6:00 p.m.
Why: Public Hearing on Amelia Island Tree Protection and Replacement Ordinance
Where: James S. Page Governmental Complex, 96135 Nassau Place, Yulee, FL 32097

Now is the time to put these protections in place to save the Amelia Island tree canopy. With the explosion of new development, this is essential. All those who are concerned should attend to ensure that the new protections are passed.
These revisions are the next step in protecting our trees on Amelia Island. If you care about needless tree destruction, show up on May 15 to support these revisions.
Sadly, these very important meeting coincide with Fernandina Beach City Commission meetings therefore our Commissioners cannot attend. This is unfortunate!
