Historic Residential Commercial Core, Duval Street Oceanside District

Consistent with the comprehensive plan future land use map, the HRCC-3 Duval Street Oceanside District includes the Duval Street Oceanside Corridor from Petronia Street south to United Street. Located toward the southern end of Duval Street, this corridor serves as a center for arts, crafts, gifts, designer goods, restaurants, and tourist accommodations. Structures within this corridor generally have retained a front facade which is much less commercialized relative to the entertainment center on the gulf side of Duval Street. The front facades generally have much smaller storefront windows and frequently incorporate a residential vernacular characterized by wood frame windows, equipped with mullions, and wood clapboard siding. This area shall be regulated by more restrictive performance standards than those applicable to the HRCC-1 district north of Petronia Street. The criteria for development within the HRCC-3 district shall require larger open space ratios, design standards which preserve and reinforce the physical characteristics of the area, and land use restrictions which exclude sidewalk bars and lounges which may produce excessive noise incompatible with surrounding activities.
