Public urged to attend affordable housing site visit

Design workshop scheduled for public input

On Saturday, March 18, from 9:00am until 12:00pm, in conjunction with its architectural design consultant, Brooks+Scarpa, the City of St. Augustine will host an open site visit at 450 N. Holmes Blvd., in St. Johns County, for the purpose of introducing the proposed future site of an affordable workforce housing community to the public.

Those who attend will have the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback to representatives from Brooks+Scarpa and the City, as well as walk the property and view land surveys.

Following the site visit, on Monday, March 20 from 1:00pm until 5:00pm in the Alcazar Room of City Hall, 75 King Street, Brooks+Scarpa will host a design workshop, or “charrette”. The public is urged to attend to provide input and feedback for considerations such as:

  • Overall project design
  • Pricing accommodations for future residents of all income levels
  • Potential additional services that could be provided to future residents within this community include, like:
On-site recreation, such as an exercise room, fishing, and walking trails

A community center that acts as an emergency (hurricane) shelter

Day care services

Education services, such as space available for classes or tutoring

Health care services, or space set aside for on-site health care visits

    • Transportation features, such as a bus stop, pedestrian access to the public sidewalk on Holmes Blvd., and bike racks
In addition, project feedback may be submitted via email to AffordableHousing@CityStAug.com.
