AGENDA ITEM:Resolution No.24-33 Signatory Authority JAGD Grant
SUBMITTED BY:Victor Gualillo,Chief of Police
TODAY’S DATE:June 17,2024
MEETING DATE:July 8,2024
BACKGROUND:The Police Department is eligible to receive monies through a grant
program called the Justice Assistance Grant Direct (JAGD).This grant is administered by the Florida
Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE),Of?ce of Criminal Justice Grants.Awards under Florida's
JAGD program range from $1,000 to $10,000.This year,the ABPD was eligible for $3,117 from the
JAGD allocations.
The Police Department has identi?ed a grant project to fund training and certi?cation of police instructors
in reality-based training.This training would ensure department instructors are equipped with the
knowledge,skills,and abilities to deliver cutting-edge,best practice principles in police scenario training
for high liability areas including active threat response and use of force scenarios.This type of training
is often more prone to possible injury and liability.By having department instructors certi?ed as reality-
based training instructors,we can ensure training provided by the department is both effective,up—
to-date,and safe.
The JAGD is a reimbursement grant.The training will cost $3,900.00 to send and certify 3 instructors at
$1,300.00 each.The grant will fund $3,117.00 and the remainder will come from existing PD training
budget funds.
BUDGET:001-2002-521 -55-00
RECOMMENDATION:For the Commission to authorize by Resolution the Mayor to have
signatory authority to apply for and accept the 2024 JAGD grant funds allocated to the City of Atlantic
Beach and;for the City Attorney to have signatory authority to execute the necessary certi?cations
required during the grant cycle and;for the City Manager to have authorization to expend the funds
necessary to complete the selected grant project and;for police department personnel to have authority
to manage the selected grant project.The payment of all project expenditures will be completed within
city purchasing guidelines.

Appendix A -Scope of Work

Recipient:City of Atlantic Beach
Award Title:D-6N012:JAGD Reality Based Training Project
Award Period:04/01/2024 -12/31/2024
Problem identification
The Atlantic Beach Police Department (ABPD)is a municipal police department for the City of Atlantic
Beach located in Duval County.Currently,33 sworn positions serve the City of Atlantic Beach.The Atlantic
Beach Police Department serves just under 14,000 residents and thousands of daily visitors as one of
Jacksonville and Duval County's beach cities.
The department has two members who have attended reality-based training instructor certification.Both
members are senior command staff nearing or at eligibility for retirement.This is a concern as agency
instructors,who are designing and implementing training programs and curricula do not have the critical
knowledge,skills,and abilities in best practices for scenario and reality-based training.
The training is a priority to the agency as itwillbe placed in a potentially precarious and disadvantageous
position of creating and implementing training that may not be ideal,uses outdated concepts or techniques,
or could be dangerous for those participating in the training as has been seen in other locations where
officers were injured or killedduring training.
Currently,the agency has training curriculums reviewed by instructors who can identify any observed
issues in the training plan;however,they don't necessarily oversee the delivery of the instruction.
Sco e of Work
The City of Atlantic Beach has identi?ed a reality-based training instructor certi?cation course to send
current ABPD agency instructors to for certification training.This training willequip them with the
knowledge,skills,and abilities to provide cutting-edge,best—practice principles to agency scenario training
ensuring more effective,and safer training.
The agency willsend 3 instructors to this training.It is hosted in Sanford,FL over 5 days on 6/10/2024
through 6/14/2024 covering 40 hours.Grant funds would cover the cost of training registration,and the City
of Atlantic Beach willcover all salaries or travel expenses for the officers.

The community development board is authorized to grant relief from the strict application of certain land development
regulations where,due to an exceptional situation,adherence to the land development regulations results in "exceptional
practical difficulties or undue hardship"upon a property owner.Examples of land development standards for which a
variance may be authorized include but are not limited to:
section 24—
However,variances are not authorized to reduce minimum lot area,minimum lot width or lot depth,nor increase
maximum height of buildings as established for the various zoning districts.Further,a variance shall not modify the
permitted uses or any use terms of a property.
In most cases,exceptional practical dif?culties or undue hardship results from physical characteristics that make the
property unique or difficult to use.The applicant has the burden of proof.The community development board must
determine that granting the request would not cause substantial detriment to the public good and would not be
inconsistent with the general intent and purpose of the land development regulations.
Avariance may be sought in accordance with this section.Applications for a variance may be obtained from the community
development department.
(a)Application.A request for a variance shall be submitted on an application form as provided by the city and shall contain

AGENDA ITEM:APP24-0001 (Appeal of a decision of the Community Development Board
for variance ZVAR24—0005for 1743 Seminole Road)
SUBMITTED BY:Amanda Askew,Director of Flaming and Community Development
TODAY’S DATE:June 27,2024
MEETING DATE:July 8,2024
BACKGROUND:Zach
Miller,the attorney representing the
property owner of 1743 Seminole
Road is appealing the ?nal decision
of the Community Development
(CDB)for variance ZVAR24-001
made on April 22,2024.
On April 16,2024 a public hearing
was held and said request was
considered by the City of Atlantic
Beach Community Development
Board (CDB).Having considered
the application,supporting
documents and comments from
members of the public,the
Community Development Board
DENIED the approval of the
variance.The Community
Development Board made a motion
to deny.the variance,the motion to
deny passed with a vote of 5-2.The
CDB found that the request did not
meet any grounds from Section 24—
65(0)of the Land Development
Regulations establishing grounds
for approval of a variance.
The applicant was seeking a variance from section 24-107 (e)to construct a two-story addition to the
front of their townhouse unit,along the sharedproperty line.The addition would be 0 feet from the shared
lot line and over 10 feet from the opposite side lot line.
Although the property was developed as a townhouse,any additions must meet the required setbacks
therefore,the property would need a variance to waive the setback on the shared property line.

Additionally,the proposed work will need to meet all other applicable
code requirements,including impervious surface area.
This townhome property is located on the east side of Seminole Road
approximately 250 feet north of 17thStreet in the Residential,General,
Two-Family (RG)zoning district.Over half of the block is developed
as townhomes.Most of the townhomes have slightly offset front walls
from each other and large front yards.
The proposed addition would be approximately 22’in front of the
adjacent townhome.These are long deep lots with the townhomes set
approximately 53 feet back from the property line.
The Community Development Board has recently heard several
variance cases seeking a setback variance for the shared property line
however,all the cases have been for additions to the rear of the
townhomes.
Seminole Road
Chapter 24.Since this is a de novo proceeding,Commission must review the appeal under the criteria
set forth in section 24-65(c)variances.
VARIANCE REQUEST:The request for the variance is to reduce the shared townhouse lot line to zero
in order to add an addition to the front of the townhome.
Section 24-107 (Residential,two-family district -RG)requires a combined side yard setback of 15’with
a minimum of 5’.The application is proposing to have a 10’exterior side yard with the proposed addition
built up to the shared property line therefore,it would not meet the minimum 5’setback.
Section 24-65 authorizes the ability to grant relief from the strict application of certain land development
regulations where,due to an exceptional situation,adherence to the land development regulations results

BACKGROUND
This appeal concerns the denial by the Atlantic Beach Community Development Board (the
“‘CDB”)of a variance application (the “Application”)for an existing home located at 1743
SeminoleRoad (the “‘Property”).
The home on the Property was constructedin 1975as a zero-lot linetownhome.
The appellantpresents this veri?ed petitionto the City Commission setting forth that the denial of
the Applicationby the CDB con?icts with/and is in violation of the relevant portionsof the LDC.
Speci?cally,on April 16,2024,the CDB,denied the requested variance.Per Section 24-65,LDC,
the CDB was required to grant the variance if there is competent substantial evidence that the
prOposedvariance met one (1)of the criteria set forth below.Respectfully,there was competent
substantialevidence that the Applicationmeets the applicablecriteria.
VARIANCE CRITERIA
Per Section 24—65(0),the CDB shall find that one 1 or more of the following factors exist to
support an applicationfor a variance:
(1)Exceptional topographic conditionsofor near the property.
(2)Surrounding conditions or circumstances impacting the property disparately fro
mnearbyproperties.
(3)Exceptional circumstances preventing the reasonable use oftheproperty as compared
to other properties in the area.
(4)Onerous e?ectof regulations enacted a?erplotting or afterdevelopment of the
property or afterconstruction ofimprovements upon the property.
(5)Irregular shape oftheproperty warranting special consideration.
(6)Substandard size ofa lot ofrecord warranting a variance to provideforthe reasonable
use oftheproperty.
The proposedvariance will not decrease any of the existing side yard setbacks,but will allow
for an addition that has similar side yard setbacks as other homes in the area.
The proposedadditionis similar in mass,scale,and setbacks to severalhomes inthe immediate
area.In particular,several homes in the area feature attached and detached structures which
protrudetowards the front yard property line,and which do not comply with the required 15 foot
side yard setback.In fact,the CDB approved a variance for side yard setbacksof 0 and 7 feet for
property located approximately 350 feet from the Property at the same public hearing.(See 38

reasonable use of substandardlots in this area.
The Property is a substandardlot of record createdprior to the current setback requirements
applicableto the RG zoning district.The proposedvariancewill not decrease any setbackbut will
allow an additionwhich is consistent with the setbacksother homes constructedat the time.

Section 24-65 states that “applications for a variance shall be considered on a case-by-case basis,and shall
be approved only upon ?ndings of fact that the application is consistent with the de?nition of a variance
and consistent with the provisions of this section.”According to Section 24-17,De?nitions,“[a]variance
shall mean relief granted from certain terms of this chapter.The relief granted shall be only to the extent
as expressly allowed by this chapter and may be either an allowable exemption from certain provision(s)
or a relaxation of the strict,literal interpretation of certain provision(s).Any relief granted shall be in
accordance with the provisions as set forth in Section 24-65 of this chapter,and such relief may be subject
to conditions as set forth by the City of Atlantic Beach.”
Section 24-65(c)provides six distinct grounds for the approval of a variance:
(1)Exceptional topographic conditions ofor near the property.
(2)Surrounding conditions or circumstances impacting the property disparately from nearby
properties.
(3)Exceptional circumstances preventing the reasonable use of the property as compared to other
properties in the area.
(4)Onerous effectofregulations enacted afterplatting or afterdevelopment ofthe property or afte
rconstructionofimprovementstotheproperty.
(5)Irregular shape ofthe property warranting special consideration.

at 1743 Seminole Road,upon ?nding this request is consistent with the de?nition of a variance,and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 24-65,speci?cally the grounds for approval delineated in
Section 24—65(c)and as described below.
A variance may be granted,at the discretion of the Community Development Board,for the
following reasons:

2.APPROVAL OF MINUTES
A.Approve minutes of the February 20,2024 regular meeting of the Community
Development Board.
The minutes were approved.
3.NEW BUSINESS
A.193]Beach Avenue ZVAR24-0003 (Steven Lee)
Request for a variance from Section 24-2530)to exceed the maximum impervious
surface area within the right-of-way created by driveways at 1931 Beach Avenue.
STAFF REPORT:Planner Broedell presented the information as explained in the
staff report.He also provided a PowerPoint presentation.Ms.Golombek asked if
the applicant was approved for pavers and gravel which was installed and
inspected and then after the inspection the applicant replaced the gravel with
pavers.Planner Broedell said that was correct.Mr.Haynie asked if the property
line was where the gravel ended in the pictures.Planner Broedell said that was
correct.Mr.Arthur asked if permeable pavers were denied.Planner Broedell said
he wasn't sure if they were permeable but added that the City doesn't give credit
for permeable pavers.Mr.Gear asked ifthe applicant would have known that they
could have asked for a variance from the beginning.Planner Broedell said that
option would have been available,but Staff doesn't advice that.
APPLICANT REPORT:Steven Lee introduced himself as the applicant.He
explained that the old driveway was cracked and unsafe.Mr.Lee said he shared a

driveway with his neighbor,and they decided to install the same pavers as his neighbor
to the south and used the same contractor and product as that neighbor.He assumed he
could put everything back as the original driveway.Mr.Lee said he didn't have any
water drainage issues.He had concems that the gravel was dangerous and unsafe for his
wife who is elderly and for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Ms.Lagner asked who the contractor was.Mr.Lee said it was R.T.Thompson.Ms.
Lagner asked if Mr.Lee was aware of the process to ask for a variance.Mr.Lee said
that the contractor sounded con?dent that they would get the permit.Ms.Farford asked
Mr.Lee what stormwater management system he had.Mr.Lee said the water comes
straight down and remains in his driveway.He alsosaid he added permeability since the
pavers have a gap between them and are on a sand base instead of 8 inches of solid
concrete.Mr.Hansen asked why the applicant built the driveway accordingto the permit
approval and then changed it knowing it had not been approved.Mr.Lee said he saw a
bicyclist run off the road into the gravel and almost fall and his wife also had surgery so
that's why he changed it.
PUBLIC COMMENT:Elliot Zisser of 1937 Beach Avenue introduced himself as
the neighbor.He said they share the driveway that had cracked.Mr.Zisser spoke
in favor ofthe variance request and saw no reason why it should not be approved.
BOARD DISCUSSION:Ms.Lagner said she wasn‘t happy that Mr.Lee did not request
a variance before replacing the gravel with pavers,but she understands why he did it and
would be in favor of approval.Ms.Golombek said she thought that if a driveway was
removed it could be replaced with the same footprint.Planner Broedell said that was
true for the impervious surface on your property and for stormwater retention,you're
allowed to replace within the same footprint.He said itwas a different part of the code
that allows you to replace like for like but it doesn't address the right—of-wayat all.Mr.
Arthur saidthis will probably be an ongoing issue since a lot of the driveways on Beach
Avenue are aging and will need replacement as time goes on.Ms.Lagner asked how the
other driveways got approved.Planner Broedell said that there are several on Beach
Avenue that don't meet the current regulations.Mr.Gear said he would be in favor of
granting the variance based on grounds for decision #3.Ms.Farford said grounds #4.
Mr.Haynie asked what that was based on.Mr.Gear said that since the driveway was
there in the 1950's.Ms.Farford thought the concrete was probably less pervious than
the pavers.Ms.Golombek thought she could support the request but told Mr.Lee that
he should have come to theBoard with a variance request in the beginning.Chair Hansen
agreed that he doesn't like it when an applicant comes to the Board for something they
have already done.He did question whether the Board would have approved the request
at that time.
MOTION:To APPROVE ZVAR24~0003 based on grounds #4 onerous effect of regulations
enacted after platting or a?er development of the property or after construction of improvement
upon the property.

Mr.Arthur said he supports the pavers to go back with the pavers agreed on in the permit that
was approved.Mr.Haynie amended the motion to approve the variance as long as the gravel
portionbe filled with the same pavers that were originally included in the pemiit.

B.38 17th Street ZVAR24-0004 (Wendie McCall)
Request for a variance to reduce the minimum side yard setback on the west
side (shared townhouse wall)of the property to construct an addition at 38
17th Street.
STAFF REPORT:Planner Genest presented the information as explained in the
staff report.She also provided a PowerPoint presentation.Mr.Gear asked about
the pervious-impervious ratio.Planner Genest said she didn't have that
information,but the applicant would be required to meet that.Mr.Arthur asked if
this addition had been added at the original time it was built,would it have been
allowed.Planner Genest said that it would have been allowed at that time but now
it is after the fact and being added to an existing structure,so it must meet the
current setbacks.Ms.Golombek asked ifthis issue was one that they had addressed
at the Board meeting that they had the night before where they discussed Chapter
24.Planner Broedell said it was.
APPLICANT REPORT:Bryan Green introduced himself as the architect for the
project.He explained how the design was to follow the existing line of the building.
Mr.Haynie asked if it was a two—story addition.Mr.Green said it is two—story with
enclosed living space on the ?rst ?oor and the second ?oor being a covered deck.He
said they haven‘t determined how far the ?re wall will extend out.Mr.Green said the
Fire Marshal]will make that requirement.Mr.Haynie had Mr.Green explain how far it
would extend and the height of it.Ms.Golombek asked about the pervious-impervious
ratio.Mr.Green said they will meet that.
PUBLIC COMMENT:Chair Hansen opened the ?oor to public comment.There
were no public comments.Planner Broedell said that he received a call from the
neighbor opposing the variance request and the neighbor was going to send an
email,but no email had been received yet.William Dowlin of 30 17th Street had
questions which were cleared up after some discussion.Mary Nordhauser of 1723
Ocean Grove Drive asked if approval of this request would set a precedence if she

wanted to something similar to her townhome.Chair Hansen said each case must
be considered separately.
BOARD DISCUSSION:Mr.Arthur said that the O-lot line issue requires anythin
gaddedonafterneedstomeetthecode,but it also seems to be a gray area in the code.
MOTION:To APPROVE ZVAR24-0004 based on grounds #4 onerous effect of regulations
enacted after platting or after development of the property or after construction of improvement
upon theproperty.
Motion:Angela Farford
Second:Richard Arthur
Mr.Haynie asked for clari?cation and was concerned about the neighbor.Ms.Farford said that
she thinks the requirements in?ict an impossible hurdle as a property owner.She said the
applicantwas meeting other setbacks and nothing else was really changing.Mr.Haynie said#3
might be a better option.Mr.Arthur asked what the setbacks would have to be to meet code.
Planner Broedell said the applicant would have to have 5 feet on one side and 10 feet on the
other.

in the front of the townhomcs Mr.Ashmore said the neighbor to the south will have
ample space to their side from the (Hot line south.
PUBLIC COMMENT:Chair Hansen opened the floor to public comment.Lucie
Dlugasch of 1741 Seminole Road introduced herselfas the neighbor that shares the
south townhome unit.She said that when she walks out the front door of her
townhome,she would have to look at a tall and long wall.Ms.Dlugasch said it would
affect the use ofthe driveway and her ability to turn around.She said she didn't see
how it met any of the grounds for approval.Mr.Haynie asked about a garage that
was attached to one of the other units.Ms.Dlugasch said that one had a 5 feet
setback.Mr.Gear pointed out another one that had a garage on the O-lot line.Ms.
Dlugasch said it was a carport.
Nicole Postlethwaite introduced herself as the applicant.She explained that she had
lived in Atlantic Beach before.Ms.Postlethwaite said she wanted a 2-car garage and
was going to relocate her entrance door to the side.She said she would like to be able
to develop her property and looks forward to using her property to the best of its ability.
Laurie Sowers of 1735 Seminole Road introduced herself as a neighbor to the south.She
said she has concems because it is already difficult to use the driveway as it is.Ms.
Sowers said it would affect the neighbor.She said to walk out the front door and see a
wall like that and is not in support of approval of the variance.
BOARD DISCUSSION:Ms.Farford said that she thought approval of this variance
would put a huge burden on the neighbor and is not in favor of it.Mr.Arthur said that
once again there is the gray area of the code where ifit was built today,it could be done
but since it already existing you lose your options.Mr.Haynie agreed with Ms.Farford
and even though it is similar to the previous case he didn't think he could support it.
Motion:JeffHaynie
Secand:Angela Falford
Chair Hansen said it is apparent that it will infringe on the neighbor’s ability to get out of the
driveway and couldn't approve it for that reason.

TOWNHOUSE SETBACKS (page 77)
Mr.Arthurrevisited this due to the variance cases at tonight's meeting.Planner Broedell
said that the proposed language would allow the 2 variance requests from tonight's
meeting to be approved.He said the additional language is trying to capture exiting
townhomes and allow them to keep their setback.Mr.Arthur asked what the intent was.
Planner Broedell said that language is supposed to address the non-shared setback.Ms.
Golombek asked if they were going to make this setback change for the front and back
setbacks.Chair Hansen said he hadsuggested making a differentiation between the front
and rear setbacks.Mr.Haynie said that he thought more often than not it would be more
ofa problem in the front.He said he thought the language should be different for the
front setback compared to the back setback.Planner Broedell said Staff can take any
recommendations that the Board gives.Mr.Arthur said he takes the opposite position
and thought the language should remain consistent and simple as possible.Planner
Broedell asked if the Board could come to a consensus on the language.The Board
decided the front yard should have a variance request.
FENCES (page 126)
Proposed adding language to allow 6-foot fences to be brought to the front of a house
for non-confonning houses.Planner Broedell gave a few examples of areas that would
bene?t from this.He said sight lines would still be enforced.Proposed additional
language to avoid "tunnel"like aesthetic.Proposed change to allow more use of the
backyard by allowing 6~footfences to go to the side property line.
HOME OCCUPATIONS (page 133')
Proposed changes to comply with State Statute changes.
PARKING (page 136)

of Orlando.Mr.Gear suggested leaving it open and not requiring an exact number.

BICYCLE PARKING (page 142)
Proposed adding standards for bicycle racks to be usable.
DRIVEWAYS (page 143)
Planner Broedell said they have language in 2 sections of the Code and they don't match
so Staff is changing this to make it consistent with See.19-7.He went through these
changes line by line.Mr.Gear asked if you had an 80 feet wide lot if you could only
have 1 driveway as stated on page 143 under (e)1 Planner Broedell said this was for
townhomes and he would correct it.
MOBILE FOOD VENDING (page 148)
Planner Broedell said the current regulations on this are broad and unclear.Proposed
language to add regulations regarding food trucks.Mr.Arthur asked if food trucks would
be allowed in the town center.Planner Broedell saidthey would not.Mr.Haynie asked
if the language in (e)3 was to prevent the food truck from becoming a permanent ?xture.
Planner Broedell said that was correct.
PHARMACIES &MEDICAL MARIJUANA TREATMENT CENTERS (page
150)
Proposed changes to correct a mistake in measurement that requires meeting all 3
requirements and it should have been "any"of the following requirements.Ms.
Golombek asked if the initiative in November is voted in will the Board have to change
this to non-medical marijuana.Planner Broedell said it would have to be updated
according to what gets approved.
GREENWAY OVERLAY DISTIUCT (page 150)
Proposed language for the construction of the East Coast Greenway along Mayport
Road.Ms.Golombek asked if the Greenway would allow for golf carts or electric bikes.
Planner Broedell said not for golf carts,but electric bikes will be allowed according to
the State.
COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR STANDARDS (page 154)
Planner Broedell said there have been several design standardsinthepast.The proposed
language comes from several sources including the Mayport Redevelopment Plan.
Center for Urban Transportation,AARP,Congress for New Urbanism and other cities.
Mr.Arthur thought the 50%frontage requirement should apply to Atlantic Boulevard
and Mayport but wasn't sure it would match the intent.Ms.Golombek asked about
restaurants that have garage-style door that opens to create outdoor space that faces a
street.Planner Broedell said they could add an exception for restaurant uses.Mr.Arthur
asked if the City wanted to get into that kind of detail off Mayport Road.He thought it
was a lot of regulations.Planner Broedell said the intent was to require some type of
architectural design and limit metal warehouses in all commercial areas.There was
further discussion regarding building facades,architectural standards,metal buildings,
etc.
