APPLICANT'S REQUEST
This is a rezoning request for a 0.77-acre site at 101 South Ocean Boulevard which is on the southwest corner of A1A and SE 1st Street. The rezoning is from B-2/AOD (Community Business in the Atlantic Blvd Overlay District) to B-3/AOD (General Business in the Atlantic Blvd Overlay District).
