Our office remains focused on maintaining momentum across key programming, infrastructure, environmental, and intergovernmental projects. City Manager’s Community Updates, including related links, are available on the City’s website and across official digital channels. 1.Coordinated E-Bike Strategy: Regulation, Messaging, and Compliance. City staff has published a Strategy Report on E-Bike Safety and Integrated Policy. This document outlines a proactive, multi-pronged approach to managing e-bike usage, focusing on public safety through rigorous oversight. Utilizing expanded legal authority, the City will regulate e-bike speeds in pedestrian zones via a stepped-up enforcement model and clear community messaging. This strategy balances necessary enforcement with enhanced signage and targeted public education to ensure our streets remain safe for all users. 2.Beaches Town Center (BTC) Parking Program Update. At its March 2 meeting, the Neptune Beach City Council discussed increasing parking rates during peak hours. Per the BTC Paid Parking Interlocal Agreement, Atlantic Beach must be consulted before significant changes are implemented. City Manager Pike and I are currently negotiating a new agreement while discussing the implications of these proposed changes. This remains a fluid deliberation. 3.Fire Line Extension – Interlocal Agreement (ILA). The agreement regarding potable water service for fire protection for the Neptune Beach redevelopment project is slated for Commission consideration and potential approval on March 23. 4.Jack Russell Park Playground Upgrade. We are moving quickly to further enhance the Jack Russell Park playground following the removal of the vintage tire track. While updates were necessary to meet modern safety and health standards, we recognize feedback from residents regarding the need for more challenging equipment for elementary-aged children. To bridge this gap, the City will soon publish design options to restore agility and "hopping" play value using modern, safety -compliant Attachment C to 3-9-26 Minutes Page 11 of 41 Agenda Item #1.A. 23 Mar 2026 Page 15 of 307 obstacles. Additionally, we are implementing a new “Public Communication” mandate for all upcoming projects to ensure residents are fully informed before any future playground transitions begin. 5. Sherman Creek Restoration and Flood Mitigation. With our $1.08M FY26 federal dune walkover funding request pending, we are shifting focus to our FY27 federal Community Projects request: dredging Sherman Creek. As the primary drainage artery for half of Atlantic Beach, this $1.5M project will restore hy draulic capacity lost over decades. By removing sediment and stabilizing infrastructure, we will mitigate severe flooding, protect the community from storm events, and improve water quality in the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. 6. Other Reports • Mary Street Drainage Improvements: This project, on the March 9 agenda, involves comprehensive stormwater improvements along Mary and Stewart Streets. Designed to mitigate flooding by expanding the existing piped drainage system, 75% of this work is grant-funded. Both streets are situated within the critical catchment area for Sherman Creek. • Neighborhoods Department Agreements: The City has executed agreements with the Atlantic Beach Athletic Association (the first since 2021) and the Coastal Kicks youth soccer program (a first-time partnership). Next, an RFP for a Farmers Market operator is expected to hit the street as early as this week, with an operating agreement targeted for July. • Board Member Reception: Our annual reception honoring dedicated board members, committee members, and environmental stewardship awardees will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday, May 7, at the Adele Grage Cultural Center. • Recreation and Parks Events: o Thursday, March 19: Artist Reception, 5–8 p.m., Adele Grage Cultural Center. o Saturday, March 28: Centennial Americana Celebration (Baseball, Hot Dogs, Chevrolets, and more), 10 a.m.–2 p.m., Jack Russell Park. o Saturday, April 4: Egg Hunt, 10 a.m.–1 p.m., Jordan Park. o Saturday, April 18: Arts in the Park, 10 a.m.–4 p.m., Johansen Park.

NOW,THEREFORE,in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein,the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 1.Fire Line Extension Pro'ect. (a)Atlantic Beach Tie-In.The parties agree that in the event the Developer desires to receive ?re protection water services for its Redevelopment Project from Atlantic Beach,then the Developer,at the Developer’s sole cost and expense,shall design,permit and construct:(i) a connection to the existing twelve (12”)inch watermain located in the right of way of Sherry Drive and an extension of a watermain anticipated to be either 8”or 10”(subject to all applicable permitting)under the Atlantic Boulevard right of way,and (ii)the back ?ow preventer,valves and any meter shown on the plans (collectively,the “Fire Line Extension Project”)which are 66368599 v2 Agenda Item #8.B. 23 Mar 2026 Page 94 of 307 generally depicted on the plans attached hereto as Exhibit A (as the same may be modi?ed with the prior written approval of Atlantic Beach). (b)Water-Su ression S stem.By its design and implementation,the Fire Line Extension Project includes both a water main extension and a tie-in to Neptune Beach,with a connection to a dedicated ?re-line serving the Redevelopment Property.As such,the Fire Line Extension Project will consist of a water line from Atlantic Beach under Atlantic Boulevard that will tie-in to Neptune Beach’s existing water system and be valved-off so as to serve as an emergency water source for either city.Notwithstanding and for purposes of clarity,the portion of the Fire Line Extension Project that is considered the water-suppression /dedicated ?re protection line is the part of the line that connects into the line with a valve and back?ow. Accordingly,under no circumstances shall the Fire Line Extension Project,the ?re-line or any portion of the Atlantic Beach water system connected thereto be used to provide domestic, irrigation,or any other potable or non-potable water service to the Redevelopment Property unless and until,at Atlantic Beach’s sole discretion,the Developer:(i)enters into a separate utility service agreement with Atlantic Beach,and (ii)pays all applicable capacity fees,impact fees.meter charges,and monthly rates then in effect. (0)Local Government A rovals and Easements.Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach agree to grant the Developer such temporary easements,permits and approvals as are necessary and reasonably requested by Developer (to the extent such easements,permits or approvals are within each of their jurisdiction and control)for the purpose of allowing the Developer to conduct work under Atlantic Boulevard and complete the Fire Line Extension Project.Likewise,the Developer shall grant to Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach and Neptune Beach agrees to grant to Atlantic Beach any easements necessary on the Redevelopment Property or right of way owned by Neptune Beach,as applicable,for accessing,maintaining and or repairing any of its utilities lines,systems and equipment.Permits requested pursuant to drawings consistent in scope and size of improvements with those shown on Exhibit A which are certi?ed by a Florida licensed civil engineer shall be deemed to be reasonably requested,subject to Atlantic Beach‘s review for compliance with its utility standards and public safety requirements.Such easements and permits shall be in a recordable form satisfactory to Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach (to the extent applicable in each case)shall be recorded by Developer at its expense in the of?cial public records of Duval County prior to commencement of construction.The Developer speci?cally acknowledges and agrees that the permitting and approvals related to the Fire Line Extension Project (whether in its initial construction and implementation or subsequent maintenance and repair)will also require permits and approvals from other State agencies which have jurisdiction over this area of Atlantic Boulevard including but not limited to the Florida Department of Transportation (“FDOT”)and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (“FDEP”).Accordingly,Developer shall be solely responsible for the diligent pursuit of such permits and approvals at its sole cost and expense. (d)Ownershi and Maintenance.Developer shall be responsible for submitting all reasonable and customary documentation required by Atlantic Beach for acceptance of the Fire Line Extension Project.Developer will cause the construction warranty provided in the applicable construction contract to be assigned to Atlantic Beach or granted directly to Atlantic Beach as provided in this subsection (d).Pursuant to Atlantic Beach ordinance code,including but not limited Section 24-233,Code of Ordinances,Atlantic Beach’s acceptance of maintenance of any public improvements,including the Fire Line Extension Project,shall be contingent upon 2 Agenda Item #8.B. 23 Mar 2026 Page 95 of 307 Developer providing a maintenance bond in the amount of one hundred (100)percent of the construction cost of the improvements.Such bond shall provide that Atlantic Beach shall be indemni?ed if the Developer does not replace or repair any public improvements,which are defective in materials or workmanship or which were not constructed in compliance with the approved construction plans.The terms of the maintenance bond shall expire one (1)year after completion of the Fire Line Extension Project,unless Atlantic Beach serves written notice to the Developer that the improvements are defective in material or workmanship or were not constructed in compliance with the approved construction plans within the one (1)year.Upon receiving this documentation including the receipt of warranty and issuance of a maintenance bond,and con?rming installation in accordance with the approved plans and permits in all material respects,Atlantic Beach,shall issue a utility acceptance letter and take on ownership, operation and maintenance authority of the Fire Line Extension Project which shall then become a part of Atlantic Beach’s system.Upon completion and acceptance by Atlantic Beach,the portion of the Fire Line Extension Project prior to the point that it becomes a private line —up to and including the water meter at the Redevelopment Property boundary —shall be owned and maintained by the City of Atlantic Beach.The portion that is within the Redevelopment Property from the point that it becomes a private line shall be owned and maintained by Developer. 2.Pa ment of Water Service Char es.

(b)The Fire Line Extension Project will be installed in such a manner so as to allow Developer to terminate the ?ow of water from the Atlantic Beach water system at such time as Neptune Beach commences providing the water service suf?cient to provide the ?re system ?ows required for ?re protection to the Redevelopment Property for the Redevelopment Project. The Developer shall be required to terminate the ?ow (by valving off or other means)the ?ow of water for the ?re suppression system of the Redevelopment Property from the Atlantic Beach water system immediately upon Neptune Beach’s commencement of providing water service to the Redevelopment Property suf?cient to provide the ?re system ?ows required for ?re protection at the Redevelopment Property for the Redevelopment Project.As part of the switch to Neptune Beach’s commencement of providing water service for ?re suppression to the Redevelopment Property,Neptune Beach shall physically disconnect the ?re main at the valve closest to the interconnection and install the necessary improvements,including but not limited to a blind ?ange,so that no cross-connection of any sort occurs.Developer’s obligation to switch water service for ?re suppression to the Redevelopment Property from the Fire Line Extension Project to new service provided by Neptune Beach shall be conditioned on Neptune Beach paying all hard and soft costs related to any new connection or extension of lines and other facilities (including,without limitation,back?ow preventer and metering)for Neptune Beach water service for the ?re suppression system of the Redevelopment Property. (0)Since the Fire Line Extension Project will provide a connection to a dedicated ?re line and not general water service,Atlantic Beach shall charge and the Developer shall promptly pay,a monthly base rate for the ?re system ?ows to the Redevelopment Property, 3 Agenda Item #8.B. 23 Mar 2026 Page 96 of 307 according to Atlantic Beach’s approved rates for such water volumes and services,in accordance with the ordinances of Atlantic Beach (which may be changed from time to time).At such time as the Redevelopment Property is tied into the water system for Neptune Beach for ?re system ?ows,water service charges shall be based upon the then current water service rates in accordance with the then existing ordinances of Neptune Beach. (d)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,any water from the Atlantic Beach utility system used for any other purpose for the Redevelopment Property (including but not limited to construction,domestic,or irrigation use)shall be charged at 150% of Atlantic Beach’s then-current highest-tier rate until the unauthorized use is corrected and all applicable fees are paid. (e)Atlantic Beach’s obligation to provide ?re-?ow water service pursuant to this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the earlier of:(i)the date Neptune Beach commences providing adequate ?re ?ow to the Redevelopment Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,or (ii)the date the Developer executes a utility service agreement with Atlantic Beach for general water service,subject to the consent of the City of Neptune Beach. Upon such termination pursuant to (i)above,Atlantic Beach may,at its sole option and upon 30 days’written notice,physically disconnect or lock the ?re line at the point of connection to the Atlantic Beach system,at the sole cost of Neptune Beach. 3.Installation and Maintenance of S stem. All plans and speci?cations for the installation of the Fire Line Extension Project shall be subject to all required permits and approvals from FDEP and FDOT,in addition to Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach.Upon completion of the installation of the Fire Line Extension Project and written acceptance by Atlantic Beach,all components shall be owned and maintained in accordance with Section 1(d)herein.The Developer shall execute and record a maintenance covenant in form satisfactory to Atlantic Beach requiring annual testing and certi?cation of the reduced-pressure—zone(RPZ)back?ow preventer at owner’s expense by a licensed tester,with copies provided to Atlantic Beach. 4.Conditions and Re uirements.

PROPOSED POLICY (ATTACHMENT A)HIGHLIGHTS: Access Control:Mandates use of Atlantic Boulevard and prohibits Ahern access. Capacity Cap:Limits the number of concurrent commercialpermits to two (2). Safety Standards:Requirements for anchored umbrellas and pre-approved vehicle types. Operational Hours:Restricts setup/teardown to off-peak morning and evening hours.

To address this,staff has developed the Green-Parking Initiative,a cost-sharing program that allows residents to partner with the City to install turf block (permeable pavers)in the ROW directly adjacent to their property line. PROGRAM DETAILS:The proposed policy,included along with Resolution No.26-50 as Attachment A, establishes the following framework:.Cost-Sharing:Costs for materials and professional installation are split 50/50 between the requesting resident and the City. o Public Access:As the installation occurs on City-owned land,the parking remains open to the general public and cannot be reserved or gated..Environmental Bene?t:The use of open-cell turf block supports stormwater management by allowing water to soak into the ground rather than contributing to runoff..Maintenance:Property owners will manage routine vegetation (mowing),while the City remains responsible for long-tenn structural repairs. BUDGET IMPACT:Funding for the City’s 50%share will be drawn from the City budget as appropriatedby the City Commission.Individual project costs will vary based on square footage. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:Adopt Resolution No.26-50.

I .I.I .II._ Green-Parking Initiative:Frequently Asked Questions Why use Turf Block instead of asphalt or concrete? Turf blocks are "permeable,"meaning rainwater soaks into the ground rather than running off into our storm drains.They keep our neighborhoods cooler,prevent ?ooding,and look much nicer than a slab of grey concrete. If I pay 50%,is it “my”parking spot? The short answer:No.Because the installation is on City-owned land (the right-0f-way),the spot remains public parking. 0 Think of it this way:You are “sponsoring”a neighborhood improvement that beauti?es the front of your home and provides a stable,mud—freeplace for cars to park..The Reality:The person temporarily parked in front of your house may be you or your guests! Can I put up “Private Parking”signs or orange cones? No.Since the area is within the public right-of-way,it must remain accessible to everyone. Placing obstructions or “Private”signage is a violation of City Code. Who mows the grass in the turf block? The property owner is responsible for routine vegetation maintenance (mowing and weeding), just as you currently do for the grass strip in the right-of—way.The City will handle any structural repairs if the blocks sink or crack. How much will this actually cost me? Costs vary based on the square footage of the area,but the 50/50 split usually makes this signi?cantly cheaper than a private driveway extension. Example:If a professional installation costs $8,000,your portion would be $4,000. Will this increase my property taxes? Generally,right-of—wayimprovements do not trigger an increase in property tax assessments, though they certainly add “curb appeal”which helps your home’s overall value!

Community Garden —The perfect location for this is the grassy area behind the Almost Home building at 100 West lst Street.There could be organized programming centered around gardening in the building and a Garden Club could act as a volunteer group who maintains some of our public spaces around the city.This is a high priority with medium effort. With a very generous gift from one of our residents,this idea is slated to become a reality! Community gardens of all shapes and sizes can be found across the United States in small rural neighborhoods and in tucked away pockets of large metropolitan areas.A community garden can improve the health of residents,foster economic development,combat social isolation, relieve food insecurity,improve public safety,encourage inclusion and enhance community connectedness.By encouraging physical activity,engagement and socializing,community gardens support healthy aging and help foster resiliency for people and places.Community gardens can also help revitalize neighborhoods and incentivize the development of more walkable and transit-oriented places. T esofCommunit Gardens -Allotment Gardens:The most common type of community garden in the United States are ones where each gardener tends an individual planter or plot of land within the larger garden.Participation usually requires paying an annual or seasonal rent.Allotment gardens, which often include shared tools and access to water,need to establish clear rules about the responsibilities of gardeners to properly maintain their plot,harvest their food and clean up their space at the end of the season. -Facility Gardens:Gardens located on the grounds of a school or business,or within a housing development,are usually restricted to members of the sponsoring location. Agenda Item #8.E. 23 Mar 2026 Page 132 of 307 0 Collective Gardens:A plot of land that is gardened by a group of people who share the work,the decision-making and the harvest.Collective gardens require a high degree of cooperation and coordination among the gardeners.The gardens are often initiated and managed by a nonpro?t organization or community-based service agency. A hybrid format is suggested.Of the 32 boxes,six could be set aside as collective spaces with produce and ?owers from these boxes would be harvested at the appropriate time and made available to the community and shared regardless of if one leases a plot or not.

GARDENING‘TOOLS’ THE CASE FOR COMMUNITY GARDENS Agenda Item #8.E. 23 Mar 2026 Page 139 of 307 Introduction: Planting Seeds for a Solution Community gardening “has evolved into a strategy for improving overall community and sustainable development in neighborhoods, including promoting social,environmental,and economic concerns....[R]esearch shows that community gardening can facilitate social interaction,community involvement and volunteerism,and education of community members regarding horticulture and gardening methods.Community gardening has also become an important community development strategy, turning devastated and vacant lots into beautiful spaces with flowers,trees,shrubs,and other vegetation that can be enjoyed by the entire community.” Asland that is farmed by a group of people in order to grow vegetables,fruit,herbs and flowers for both individual and shared use,a community garden can help a new neighborhood take root,bolster an existing one and in both cases serve as an important,shared asset. Such gardens have a long history in the landscape of cities, towns and villages worldwide. In places where large numbers of people moved from rural to urban areas,community gardens enabled residents to grow their own food.During both world wars,liberty gardens and victory gardens planted by individuals and communities helped alleviate food shortages and boost morale.Duringthe civilrights and environmental movements, community gardens often served neighborhoods impacted by food insecurity,disinvestment and discrimination. The rise of the local—foodmovement,along with a growing understanding of the economic benefits of vibrant public spaces,has helped alert developers and urban planners to the value of community gardens as desirable gathering places.

Located behind a Metro station and alongside a commercial corridor,Temperance Alley is a quarter-acre,fully enclosed plot of land that was developed in the late 19th century to provide housing for low-income Blackfamilies.Transformed in 2020 by area residents and the U Street NeighborhoodAssociation,the lush community garden and hyperlocal hub is a temporary sanctuary.Its lease expires in late 2023,when the location will become a large,mixed-use development.Until then,the garden’s “rooms”allow the alley to thrive as a source of vegetables and a year-round activity destination featuring —among other offerings —story circles in the winterized greenhouse,solstice moon- watching potlucks near the fairy gardens (one pictured here), performances on the front lawn and neighborhood meetings in the gazebo.When the gardeners and guests eventually vacate the space,Temperance Alleywill live on through its connections beyond the garden’s walls.The community has partnered with the developer to ensure that the new complex includes public art, open green space,seating and learning opportunities for the local elementary school.PHOTOBYSARAHDALEFORAARP The People’s Garden — Lincoln,Nebraska Previously a vacant lot in a high crime neighborhood,the location was revitalized in 2019 with the addition of garden boxes,an arbor,signage, lighting and seating.While it was hard to recruit gardeners in the spring of 2020 due to the COVID-19pandemic,by midyear there was more enthusiasm, including from residents of the Pike Place Market Secret Garden — Seattle,Washington area’s Hispanic,Iraqi and Karen communities.New gardeners were mentored by experienced neighbors.A resident who was initially dismissive of the project acknowledged that the garden helped people feel safer and made them more willingto talk to their neighbors.

In 2021,10 percent ofAmerican households were considered food insecure,2 meaning they did not have reliable access to healthy and affordable food; 24 percent of households headed by single mothers were food insecure.3 At the same time,people age 60—plushave been experiencing food insecurity at higher rates than the general population.Feeding America reports that l in 15 older adults in America face hunger.4 Community gardens help supplement diets with additional and often healthierfood options.For instance,a study of urban community gardeners in Michiganfound that the gardeners ate,on average, 1.4 times more fruit and vegetables than non- gardeners and were much more likelyto consume fresh produce at least five times daily.5 Digging,planting,pruning and watering are physical activities that require and can increase strength, stamina,flexibility and balance.Improvements to each reduces the risk of falls and injuries.Regular activity also improves brain function and memory, especially in older adults,and reduces the risk of diabetes and other noncommunicable diseases.6 Gardens that invite people of different ages,skills and abilities to participate provide older adults, people with disabilities,children and teens to enjoy a low impact form of exercise and movement. Research also shows that spending time outdoors increases happiness and positivity,and participation in community gardening can reduce stress levels and increase self-esteem.7 Social isolationand loneliness are known to increase the risks of both physical and mental illnesses.Community gardening can help by enabling people to get out of their homes and routines,interact with other gardeners and establish relationships that extend beyond the garden.

Well—maintainedandmanagedcommunity gardens create attractive destinations in neighborhoods and business districts,enticing more foot traffic and even tourism. That means more support for local businesses,more activity in parks and public places,more vibrancy, sustainability,and,ideally,improved livability and equity.In many ways,community gardens are a low-cost,high-value investment. Community gardens can incentivize walkable and transit-oriented development,serving as a destination and a connection between residential neighborhoods and business districts.Pedestrian activity bolsters local businesses and adds vibrancy to downtowns. Community gardens add value and have the power to increase a neighborhood’s property values and a town’s,city’s or county’s tax revenue. Community gardens can introduce positive change in areas struggling with safety.The removal of abandoned buildings and the cleanup and productive use of formerly overgrown lots can reduce criminal activity.Enabling and encouraging people to be out and about improves safety by providing “eyes on the street,” as stated by Jane Jacobs,the pioneering urban planner,in her 1961 book The Death and Lifeof GreatAmerican Cities.The authors of a study published in the International Journal of EnvironmentalResearch and Public Health note that a community garden adds to the “visual guardianship”ofan area.8 Community gardens are field-based classrooms that teach and allow people to learn or practice marketable skills such as horticulture, woodworking,irrigation,volunteer management, fundraising,urban planning,sustainability, community organizing,leadership and more. Community service agencies often use community gardens within broader rehabilitation programs for vulnerable individuals,such as veterans, people experiencing homelessness and formerly incarcerated individuals. Community gardens are a smart investment for cities and towns because they support cost savings in a variety of areas.(For example,the improved mental and physical health of residents may result in less spending on health care. Community gardens can help reduce policing costs by improving public safety.1°)As an unpaved and permeable surface,gardens and similar green spaces absorb heavy rainfalls,which reduces street and sewer flooding and stormwater management expenses.More greenery also helps reduce the health impact and costs associated with air pollution and unusually high temperatures. —International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 11 8 Creating CommunityGardens for People ofAll Ages |AARPwith 8 80 Cities “There are several strategies for reducing crime in the U.S.,and the provision of green space is one of them.Good public spaces support desirable behaviors and inappropriate public spaces provide the opportunity for increases in criminal behavior.” Agenda Item #8.E. 23 Mar 2026 Page 146 of 307 V FIELDSTUDIES Grow Appalachia — Berea,Kentucky An initiative of Berea College, Grow Appalachia improves access to healthy foods by supporting backyard and community gardens (see one on the back cover),providing nutrition education,and offering technical assistance to new farmers.The organization also ensures access to yea r- round growing systems and feeding programs for children and young people.In addition,it invests in infrastructure,such as commercial-grade community kitchens,which are shared spaces that were once common throughout the region and enable users to produce shelf- stable products that can be sold in stores and at farmers markets.In 2022,Grow Appalachiawas operating in six states and over 60 counties, helping more than 6,000 families and gardeners grow 6 million pounds of organic fruits and vegetables.

Amenities:Seating and restrooms can make a garden space more useful for everyone.Lighting can improve security and enable a space to be used at night.(Being able to plant,weed and harvest during cooler temperatures after dark are especially helpful in sunny places and hot climates.) Communal Spaces:Gardens with places to gather increase opportunities for socializing and help ensure that people who might not be able to partake in the physical work of gardening can still enjoy the space and related activities (including simply watching the gardeners at work).As a communal space,a community garden can also serve as an outdoor multipurpose room for meetings,events and other gatherings. Flexible Fees:Eliminating,reducing or providing a sliding scale for membership fees —as well as reducing fee increases for members experiencing economic hardship —can remove a potential obstacle to participation,as can providing free or low-cost plants,equipment and tools.Ifthe garden is part of a nonprofit organization, donations or grants can help fund the garden and provide tax deductions for supporters. 10 Creating Community Gardens for People ofAiiAges lAARPwith 8 80 Cities Good Real Estate and Community Relations: As is true for real estate purchases,location matters.Working closely with the community’s residents,leadership and nonprofit organizations helps to ensure that the garden both meets the community’s goals and has a location that is convenient and accessible for the people who will be working in and benefiting from the space. Inclusive Signage and Materials:Wayfinding, branding and instructional signage should be useful to people with visual impairments, representative of the languages spoken in the community and considerate of neurodiverse users,such as individuals who are experiencing dementia.Likewise,any advertising,handouts, outreach,volunteer recruitment and educational programming should be mindful of language barriers and the communication needs and engagement styles of diverse populations. Particular Plants:Growing vegetables,fruits, herbs and flowers that are reflective of the needs, tastes,desires and cultural familiarity of the garden’s intended beneficiaries helps to ensure that the residents will feel welcome,the plants will be cared for and the produce will be used. Practical Planters:Planting beds that are raised about 28 inches to 34 inches above the ground enables people to garden without having to bend, kneel or sit on dirt.Alternatively,such raised-bed planters can be built at a seated height,with or without built-in benches,for gardeners who use wheelchairs or prefer to garden while seated. Programs for All:A garden’s programming (i.e., its trainings,special events,gatherings)are most effective when they are based on the community needs and interests and can be attended by a variety of people.Because well-tended community gardens are attractive outdoor spaces,a garden’s offerings can include activities such as concerts, fitness classes,art shows or sales that have little or nothing to do with gardening.

Community gardens play an important role in both types of resiliencies by building trust among neighbors and providing the types of green infrastructure that help communities mitigate and adapt to the impacts of weather extremes,climate changes and natural disasters. As noted throughout this publication,community gardens can bring diverse groups of people (older and younger residents,immigrants and neighbors who’ve never met)together to interact.In many ways,a community garden is a great equalizer where people can work toward common goals.A community where people know and care about one another is a resilient community. In the ecological realm,a neighborhood with green space (such as a community garden)and a mature tree canopy can counter the increased temperatures —commonly referred to as the “urban heat island effect”—cities and other built—upplaces experience due to the high concentration of buildings and pavement.Shaded,cooler spaces are a protection against heat-related illnesses. A community garden can also alleviate flooding by absorbing rainwater into the soil.In areas that lack green spaces,stormwater runoff from paved surfaces can quickly overwhelm streams,rivers, lakes and sewers.By absorbing rain,community gardens also prevent contaminants,pollutants and litter from infiltrating aquifers and drinking water sources. A well—plannedand -managed garden provides a beneficial habitat for plants,pollinators,bugs,birds and other animals.Under certain conditions, contaminated land that has been cleaned up and tested can be used fora cultivated garden or simply as a wild green space.Either can help restore nutrients into the soil for future uses.

Although the neighborhood experienced disinvestment for decades,it is home to an engaged community of residents and business owners. Building on years of community input and involvement,the Wilmington Alliance created a plan to turn the vacant lots into a vibrant green space.In 2015,the organization received a National Endowment for the Arts grant to plan four public spaces and host community engagement sessions about what to put in them.Among the targeted spaces was the corner of 7th and West streets —a 17,000-square-foot,nine-parcel brownfield location requiring soil removal,remediation,landscaping and more. “We asked residents what type of programming they were interested in to ensure there was local buy-in,” explains Laura Semmelroth,the Wilmington Alliance’s director of creative placemaking. Residents said they wanted a community vegetable garden.One-third of the space is now used as a garden.The rest —which features a patio,pergola and landscaping —-is an open area that can be used for gatherings. An AARPCommunity Challenge grant financed a storage shed,ll raised-bed gardens and two beds for blueberry and raspberry bushes.The shed has lighting,a community bulletin board and a countertop workspace for gardeners.The garden opened to the public in November 2019. The Wilmington Alliance recruited a “farmer-in— residence”to engage the community and support the garden.(The farmer lives in the neighborhood, 14 Creating Community Gardens forPeople ofAllAges |AARPwith 8 so Cities The vacant lot before the community-driven efforts to improve the location.

Those new to gardening could learn from the farmer and the University of Delaware’s Cooperative Extension program. The 7th &West park is a welcoming,green and healthful public space where the community can enjoy both planned events and spur-of—the— momentactivities,giving the area,Semmelroth notes,“the gathering spot it has long craved.The increase in livability has had a dramatic effect on residents, especially older adults who might have been socially isolated due to a fear of crime.” 7th &West:A Community Green Space Agenda Item #8.E. 23 Mar 2026 Page 152 of 307 Semmelroth says the AARPgrant helped the garden receive grants from other sources.One such grant funded the park’s pergola and helped the alliance acquire the funding it needed to complete the entire $1.3 million project. First and foremost,change has to come from residents,and building trust is critical,says Semmelroth.“Ifl hadn’t walked and talked this neighborhood for years,we would have never gotten the input and buy-in from residents.”She notes that the garden and programming were requested by people who live in the neighborhood. Partnerships with local organizations,as well as the city and state governments,also helped make the park possible.“The city has been a great and supportive partner,and the state was a huge partner,because we had to redevelop a brownfield,” she says. The best part of the project for other communities to replicate,Semmelroth says,is the farmer-in- residence.“The farmer is the cheerleader and guide forfirst—timegardeners.The farmer teaches people how to plant,when to harvest,what to cook —and the farmer can console the new gardeners when things don’t quite grow as planned.” h “The highlight of the project has been the positive community reaction,”says Laura Semmelroth of the Wilmington Alliance.“The green space has become a staple in the community, and the neighbors have embraced the opportunities the garden presents.” Creating Community Gardens for People of AllAges |AARPwith 8 80 Cities 15 Read another Project Profile PEIkOdeEuw(«33 >m.mOFOIL {A Advice for Doing the Same Agenda Item #8.E. 23 Mar 2026 Page 153 of 307 p I «126 M ,I n rat nal dM m n GranrrgeeIOComuade lanting,aintain'ngan anaging ity PROJECT PROFILE FROM THE AARP.ORG/LIVABLEARCHIVE An aerial view of the Summer Street community garden in Newport, Vermont. “How to Create,Maintain and Manage an Intergenerational Community Garden”(April2015) Freshproduce can be hard to come by for many people in Newport,Vermont.That reality may seem incongruous,considering the state is a very green and largely rural place. But the Northeast Kingdom,a remote three-county region in the northeastern corner of the state,is different from the rest of the Vermont. Unemployment in Newport (population 4,700)is among the highest in the state,and 1 in 4 residents are 65 or older.According to the US.Department of Agriculture’s Food Access Research Atlas,Newport is an area where a significant number of residents have limited access to a vehicle and are more than 20 miles from the nearest grocery store. The Fresh Start Community Farm sprouted in 2011, inspired by a survey about the challenges the community was facing and what it would like to have in the neighborhood.Fresh food was among the top responses. 16 Creating Community Gardens forPeople ofAllAges |AARPwith 8 80 Cities Due to the city’s very northern location,the garden is limited to a three-month summer growing season. Fundraisers and planning meetings occur in the winter.Seedlings are planted indoors in the spring before being transferred to a garden location,one of which is on the lawn of a local medical office.“The business is happy to not have to mow the grass,” says Jennifer Leithead,a farm board member. The Fresh Start board and garden managers coordinate the garden locations and choose what to plant based on what will grow best in each spot. “Once we get past the winter,the mud season,and the garden prep and planting,we weed and wait,” Leithead explains.“When the fruits,vegetables and herbs we planted start coming in,we have a weekly harvest.” Different people are responsible for harvesting different gardens.Volunteers can work at any of the sites and keep a record of their time.The collected produce first goes to the volunteers who worked that week.Leftovers are donated to local service organizations and food banks.

The community garden was the idea of Newport’s zoning administrator,who applied for and received a municipal planning grant from the state of Vermont. In 2011,he hired a planning team ofthree people representing a local farm-to-school organization and a local community action agency. “At first many people in city leadership and some local business owners were skeptical of the project, but it didn’t take them long to see its value,”says Patricia Sears,a community advocate and a former president of AARPVermont.Several critics became vocal supporters,she adds.“The local mail carrier is a big supporter,having walked Newport’s streets for years and seen the visible difference between Summer Street and its neighboring streets.” Sears and Leithead report that “almost immediately after we started the garden,residents began picking up litter,raking lawns and planting flowers.”The garden’s landowner recognized the value of the garden to the neighborhood.The police noticed a downturn in the number of calls to the area. Since the Summer Street garden is located in a neighborhood with lots of children and several older adults nearby,including at an adult day care center, the Fresh Start board “jumped at the chance,”per Sears and Leithead,to connect the generations by having them work on the garden together. “Older adults who grew up on farms talk to younger people about that experience,and kids are seriously interested in the stories,”Sears says.“While younger people do the manual labor,like the digging and weeding,older people grow the seeds in their homes over the winter and instruct the kids on how to care for the plants.A pride has developed in the neighborhood,and the people are taking care of one another.” From too: The Gardner Pa rk ga rden; a portion of one week’s harvest;a neighborhood party at the Summer Street location.

Be sure to have a definition of success,as defined by the garden’s leadership or stakeholders. But regardless of whether a garden has a good year or not,it’s useful to know what works or doesn’t and why.Metrics (or data points)can help inform and support the assessment.Another benefit of measuring success is that the results can inform and confirm decisions and be a guide when adjustments are needed. Following are examples of garden goals and possible evaluation metrics: GOAL:Increase community connections and cohesion MEASUREMENTS: -available volunteers -volunteer hours served -number of partnerships GOAL:Provide access to healthy food MEASUREMENTS: -amount of food grown and harvested -amount of food distributed to volunteers -amount of food distributed to the community -number of individuals and households served Download the Measuring Success worksheet.

Agenda Item #8.E. 23 Mar 2026 Page 162 of 307 People Skills TIP: n addition to the work of fund raising,planting, harvesting,maintaining supplies,controlling insects,diagnosing plant diseases and coordinating events,there is the work of managing volunteers. “We’ve learned a lot of lessons about working with volunteers,about having to do damage control when helpers behave inappropriately,don’t follow growing instructions or,occasionally,steal from the gardens,”Jennifer Leithead,a community garden board member in Vermont (see page 16),shared with AARP.“When we started,we didn’t have a garden contract or guidelines in place,so we had no recourse or consequences when participants acted in ways contrary to what was best for the program.” Rules and requirements Having a clear understanding ofthe duties ofthe garden leaders,gardening volunteers and any paid staff is an important part ofa garden’s management —as is establishing clear guidelines for sharing the physical space. Some community gardens orfarms simply post rules for all workers and volunteers.Some take a more formal approach and require gardeners to sign an agreement,releasing organizers from liability and ensuring that all garden users and volunteers abide by the same norms and rules. Shared-use agreements and no-or low-rent leases are a useful way to ensure that members of an allotment garden properly maintain their plants and respect the communal areas and the plots of the other gardeners. (Note:A similar but different type of shared-use agreement might be made between,for instance,a sponsoring nonprofit and the owner of the land or facility hosting the community garden.) The garden program in Vermont wound up asking its volunteers to sign a contract outlining the garden’s expectations.It also displayed the rules at each site.Both the signage and the signed paperwork spell out the liabilities and expectations of the volunteers.The agreements also outline the consequences of noncompliance. Leading volunteers “Working with volunteers is very,very different from working in business,”Leithead noted.“Our volunteers are our main strength,and we firmly believe everyone has a part to play and something to add.However,as with any project or organization, people can throw some curveballs.Diplomacy in the leadership is absolutely key.” A piece of advice:“Never tell a volunteer no for an idea they’ve had,no matter how terrible it is,” Leithead advised.“It’s important to keep that volunteer interested —their passion is very much needed.Learning how to respond to a bad idea is an important lesson.Instead of saying,“No,that’s terrible,”say something like ‘That’s a good idea,but it won’t really work for us because —fill in the blank. How about —fill in the blank —instead?’Redirecting someone’s passion and energy and working with them goes a long way in keeping volunteers excited.” Download the Member/Volunteer Agreement Checklist.

The following policies and models can enable a neighborhood to evolve and improve and do so in a way that benefits both current and future residents: Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) A CBAoutlines the specific benefits a community will receive from a given development project. Such agreements have been used to provide or protect housing that’s affordable,support local workforce development,and make public realm improvements. Community Land Trust Community land trusts,often rooted in racial justice principles,are typically created by groups of residents and community leaders who organize to build a nonprofit corporation that owns and preserves land for the benefit ofthe community. lnclusionary Zoning Enacted through municipal and county planning ordinances,inclusionary zoning requires that a certain percentage of new construction or renovation projects include housing that is affordable for people with low to moderate incomes. The Hindu Temple of Central Florida — Casselberry.Florida IDEAS for Us is a nonprofit and accredited nongovernmental organization of the United Nations that develops global environmental solutions through local action related to energy,water,food, waste and ecology.An AARP grant helped the organization create pollinator gardens at the temple,which is an active community center featu ring magnolia trees and 250 native plants that support the needs and diversity of local wildlife. PHOTO FROM IDEASFORUS (2021 AARPCOMMUNITYCHALLENGEGRANTEE) Other ways to protect‘and support multiple stakeholders include community organizing and coalition building.For instance,a coalition of anti- displacement groups can strengthen a community’s ability to advocate for equitable development. Rules,restrictions and resources at the local,state or even federal government level can help or hinder the ability of a community garden to thrive.The knowledge gained by researching the policy context (zoning and other types of ordinances,bylaws and comprehensive plans)of a particular place can be critical to understanding and advancing a community gardening project. In Cleveland,Ohio,advocates secured a zoning code change in support of community gardens.Followin garetheopeninglinesofthe2007additionto the city’s code of ordinances: “The ‘Urban Garden District’is hereby established as part of the Zoning Code to ensure that urban garden areas are appropriately located and protected to meet needs for local food production,community health, community education,garden-relatedjob training, environmental enhancement,preservation of green space,and community enjoyment on sites for which urban gardens represent the highest and best use for the community.” 26 Creating Community Gardens forPeople ofAll Ages IAARPwith 8 80 Cities Agenda Item #8.E. 23 Mar 2026 Page 164 of 307 The Children’s Garden — Rochester,New York A program of the nonprofit PathStone Corporation, the Marketview Heights Collective Action Project was created to identify volunteers who would work to improve the neighborhoods they live in.The Children’s Garden (seen here and on the back cover) was established as part of that effort.Fresh,pesticide- free produce,including collard greens,cucumbers, cilantro,tomatoes,peppers,herbs,beans,and even tea leaves and bananas are harvested from the garden and given to people in need.

Understanding the Challenge The current agreement represents more than just a contract;it is the framework for governance and service deliverv across municipal lines.CCG understands that the primarv goal is to determine if Atlantic Beach is receiving the full scope and value of contracted services and that the relationship considers the full value of services and ?nancial support provided by the CO].Our approach addresses the fundamental question:Is the cost structure fair and equitable to the residents of the Municipalities? Our Proposed Solution CCG will deploy a multi-phased analytical framework designed to move from baseline discovery to the delivery of a modernized,legally sound agreement.Our solution centers on:.Fiscal Anal sis:Identifying hidden value and cost disparities within the existing service model..E uit Benchmarkin :Ensuring that the ?nancial burden on residents aligns with the actual volume and quality of services rendered..Strate ic Ne otiation Su ort:Providing the evidence-based "north star"for city leadership during inter—jurisdictional discussions. _..._.--...--..v...-.I Agenda Item #8.F. 23 Mar 2026 Page 180 of 307 —Objemve Work Establishing the roadmap,daka requirements.and stakeholder interview Deliverable CONSULTINGSERVICESFOR INTERLOCALAGREEMENTREVIEW&DEVELOPME NTATLANTICBEACHRFP26-01 Inception Report & Plan Draft Analysis of Current ILA Final Independent Study Report Draft New lnterlocal Agreement Executive Presentations schedules.

Phase 1:Discovery and Foundation The project begins with a formal "deep dive"into the existing relationship between Atlantic Beach and the Consolidated City Oflacksonville (COJ).Our goal is to ensure project synchronization from Day 1. o Pro'ect Kick-Off:High-level meeting with stakeholders to con?rm communication protocols and data access. o Risk Mana ement Initiation:Identi?cation of potential "friction points"in the existing ILA(e.g., revenue sharing,service overlaps,or jurisdictional ambiguities). -Deliverable A:lnce a'on Re art and Pro 'ect Work Plan.This document will outline the ?rm timeline,re?ned milestones,and a stakeholder engagement matrix to ensure both municipalities remain informed. Phase 2:Diagnostic Analysis (The "Look-Back") Before drafting a new agreement,CCG will conduct an exhaustive forensic review Ofthe current ILAand the actual Operational realities on the ground..Com arative Benchmarkin :We will evaluate the current lLAagainst Florida best practices for consolidated government relationships.We will also review court decisions that have been made to clarify interlocal agreements in Florida or similarjurisdictions..Stakeholder Interviews:Structured interviews with department heads in both Atlantic Beach and Jacksonville to identify what is working and what is Obsolete..Deliverable B:Dra Anal sis o CurrentlnterlocalA reement.A gap analysis identifying legal,?nancial,and service—levelde?ciencies. Phase 3:Financial Impact Modeling &Fiscal Equity The core of CCG’sanalytical service is to ensure that the interlocal Agreement (lLA)re?ects a "fair exchange of value."In a consolidated government like Duval County,the distinction between the General Services District (GSD)—which covers the whole county—and the Urban Services Districts (USD)is the primary source of ?nancial complexity. CCG will conduct a forensic ?nancial audit focusing on three speci?c ”Revenue and Equity"drivers common to the COJ-AtlanticBeach relationship: i.Milla e Rate Differential &Double Taxation Anal sis 10 Agenda Item #8.F. 23 Mar 2026 Page 188 of 307 @grillgultlng Group A recurring issue in Duval County is the "millage differential"—the reduction in the tax rate for Beach residents because they do not receive certain municipal services (like local police or garbage) from Jacksonville..The Challenge:Since 1996,the differential has often been a ?xed number of mills (e.g.,$32907 mills).However,as property values in Atlantic Beach have surged,a ?xed differential may no longer accurately re?ect the true cost of services "not rendered"by Jacksonville..CCG’sApproach:We will model the impact of transitioning from a ?xed-rate differential to a percentage-based formula or a service—costbasis.This ensures that Atlantic Beach residents are not “double—taxed"for services they provide for themselves. II.Service-S eci?c Cost Sharin Fire &Rescue 9-1-1 Intergovernmental service contracts,particularly the Fire and Rescue agreement,are high-stakes ?nancial pillars..The Challenge:Jacksonvilleoften provides Advanced LifeSupport (ALS)and fire suppression,but the "true cost"of these services can be obscured by consolidated overhead.Atlantic Beach has historically faced annual payment escalations (e.g.,3%caps vs.actual CPI growth)that may not align with the actual service volume..CCG’sApproach:We will conduct a "Service Levelvs.Expenditure"audit.We will analyze the pro—rata share of 9-1-1 user fees and call-taker salaries to ensure Atlantic Beach receives its fair share of state—distributedrevenue. lll.Solid Waste and Ti in Fee Discre ancies One of the most modern points of contention is the inequality in solid waste disposal fees among the three beach cities..The Challenge:Due to variations in the 1996 settlement amendments,Atlantic Beach currently pays tipping fees at the Trail Ridge Land?ll that other neighboring municipalities may not, leading to an uneven playing ?eld for taxpayers..CCG’sApproach:CCG will evaluate the legal and ?scal feasibilitv of standardizing tipping fee waivers or subsidies to ensure Atlantic Beach is treated equitably within the consolidated framework. IV.Additional Services -CCG’sApproach:CCG will explore and recommend other services that could enhance the relationship and provide mutual bene?t to residents of both municipalities. Deliverable C:Final independentStudy/Analysis Report This report will culminate in a Fiscal Impact Matrix.This matrix will project the 5-year and 10-year budgetary outcomes for Atlantic Beach under the proposed New ILAversus the "Status Quo." 11 Agenda Item #8.F. 23 Mar 2026 Page 189 of 307 l L ummw n m p of a shared digital repository for all requested documents from Phase 4:Implementation and Presentation (The "Look-Forward") CCGwill translate the Study’s ?ndings into a functional legal framework.We focus on clarity, accountability,and dispute-resolution mechanisms to prevent future litigation..Draftin the ILA:Crafting precise language regarding roles,responsibilities,and sunset clauses. o Iterative Review:Facilitating a feedback loop between CCG and the municipal project managers..Deliverable D:Dra New lnterlocal A reement.A clean,professional draft ready for formal legal review by the respective City Attorneys and General Counsel.

SUBMITTED BY:Amanda L.Askew,AICP,Neighborhoods Department Director,AICP TODAY’S DATE:March 18,2026 MEETING DATE:March 23,2026 BACKGROUND:Development Agreements are authorized under the Florida Local Government Development Agreement Act,codi?ed at Florida Statutes §§163.3220—163.3243.Pursuant to Florida Statutes §163 .3220,the Legislature found that development agreements are intended “to strengthen the public planning process,encourage private participation in comprehensive planning,and reduce the economic costs of developmen .” A Development Agreement is a contract entered into between the City and a developer that expressly de?nes the rules,regulations,commitments,and policies governing a speci?c development project for a de?ned period of time.Through this agreement,the parties establish the permitted development, applicable standards,and infrastructure responsibilities associated with large or complex projects. Consistent with Florida Statutes §163.3220,the purpose of a Development Agreement is to strengthen the public planning process by encouraging private participation in achieving comprehensive planning goals and by reducing the economic costs associated with development.By clearly de?ning development obligations and expectations in advance,a Development Agreement also helps reduce the City’s risks associated with long-term or phased development projects. The south end of the existing building (former Ragtime Restaurant)is being redeveloped to include signi?cant interior remodeling and adding roof top dining space as a result the project triggered Section 24-176 (3)“When the total cost of alteration,expansion,or renovation of a non-residential or multi- family development is equal to or exceeds twenty ?ve (25)percent of the current assessed value of the parcel improvements within a two (2)year time frame...”The code requires a landscape buffer between the building and the street,landscaping buffer between the parking spaces and the street and additional internal parking lot landscape island. The proposed use (restaurant)of the property is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use designation of Central Business District and the property’s zoning designation as Central Business District. The existing property was developed with zero setbacks along the Atlantic Boulevard and Ocean Boulevard making it impracticable to install the required landscaping between the building and the street; installing or enhancing landscaping at the property located at 0 Ahern (parking lot)would signi?cantly reduce the number of available parking spaces.

The renovation of the existing building triggersthe on-sité’landscape requirements outlined in Section24 —176.However,due to the existing building footprint,there is no available landscaping space on private property adjacent to Atlantic Blvd.or Ocean Blvd.to accommodate required landscaping,as the structure is built directly to the property line. Improvements (parking lot orientation and landscaping)were recently made to the parking area located behind the building (0 Ahern St.,RE #17531 0050),including the conversion of the dumpster to a compactor to address longstanding issues with trash collection/odorthrough the relocation and conversion of the dumpster to a compactor.Additionally,the parking layout has been reoriented to enhance safety for pedestrians and bicyclists by reducing the number of curb cuts. Relief is granted based on the memorandum submitted with the administrative variance application (attached)and a separate development agreement for alternative landscaping (ie.flower boxes/planters, hardscape,etc.). Pursuant to Section 24-176(m),the Director is authorized to grant such relief when specific conditions and findings are met.This special administrative remedy is granted based upon a determination that the request satisfies the applicable criteria established in the Code. "(m)....(2)Where compliance with the landscape requirements would require:the demolitionof an existing building;a loss of more than ten (10)percent of the gross required off-street parking for an existing development;or of a loss greater than ?fteen (15)percent of the lot area for development,............” The following landscaping clari?cation and/orrelief is granted: |‘10::9*” Exhibit B j..- Agenda Item #9.A. 23 Mar 2026 Page 256 of 307 1.Perimeter Landscaping—Section 24-176(e)(1)(a)(ii) Relief is granted from the strict application of the perimeter landscaping requirements.This determination is based on the following ?ndings: a.The building would have to be demolished to accommodate landscaping and b.The required landscape code would result in the loss of more than 10 percent of existing parking spaces,which would adversely affect the functional use of the property. Note that Section 24-176 (d)(1)—exempts properties located the in CBD from the vehicle use interior landscaping requirements therefore no administrative relief is necessary. Approval of this administrative variance constitutes acceptance of the plans as submitted.However,the City will enter into a development agreement to address alternative landscaping requirements. Furthermore,this approval shall not be interpreted as authorization to remove,modify,or disturb any existing landscaping or trees located within the parking area at O Ahern Street. This administrative variance is effective as of the date of this letter and shall remain valid for the duration of the approved building permit associated with the current project.It is further acknowledged that any subsequent development,redevelopment,or modi?cations beyond what is submitted as part of this application may trigger the applicability of current landscaping standards and requirements and therefore may require adherence to the City’s landscaping code and associated approval processes.

The Property is located within the CBD fronting Atlantic Boulevard and is a multi-tenant building with AB Kitchen,Homespun,and Angie’s Sub Shop.Ragtime Tavern previously operated at the Property but has closed.A new restaurant tenant is replacing the Ragtime space and updating the structure with a second ?oor and covered rooftop dining.Because the renovation exceeds twenty-?ve percent (25%)of the current assessed value of the building,the entire Property is required to meet the landscaping code set forth in Section 24-176.However,the developed conditions do not meet the current landscaping requirements for ?ve (5)foot wide street frontage landscaping and associated landscaping screens and trees.To provide such landscaping would substantially reduce available parking on the Property (a reduction of 10 spaces within a 37-space parking lot)and thus within the CBD. Pursuant to LDR Section 24-176(m),the Property Owner is requesting several administrative remedies from the applicability of certain subsections of the City Code from the City’s Neighborhoods Department,Planning and Community Development,Director (“Director”). One of the criteria that allows for this avenue of approval is if adherence to the LDRS and City Ordinance Code in relation to landscape will result in the loss of more than 10%of the parking spaces for an existing development.Adherence to the City landscape provisions will result in an Agenda Item #9.A. 23 Mar 2026 Page 262 of 307 approximately twenty-seven percent (27%)loss of parking spaces (37 current parking spaces with the removal of 10 parking spaces).In addition,the remedies are appropriate because the Director may allow the relocation of landscape areas. Available parking is critical to the functioning and overall success of the CBD. Accordingly,this application requests the reduction of the landscaping requirements set forth in Section 24-176 to What is existing today (the “Request”)as depicted in the attached Site Plan.The costs that would otherwise be required to bring the Property up to code will be provided for beauti?cation efforts and memorialized through a development agreement with the City. As stated in the cover letter,the application for administrative variance was used because the City does not have an administrative relief application.Although not required under Code,the below analysis addresses the Request meeting the de?nition of a “variance”,the purpose and intent of Sections 24-64 and 24—176,and satisfying a minimum of three (3)factors. Criteria for A roval of Variance A.Variance:The Request is consistent With the Land Development Regulations de?nition of a variance,which means “reliefgranted from certain terms of this chapter.The relie fgrantedshallbeonlytotheextentasexpresslyallowedbythischapterandmaybeeither an allowable exemption from certain provision(s)or a relaxation of the strict,literal interpretation of certain provision(s).Any reliefgranted shall be in accordance with the provisions as set forth in section 24-65 ofthis chapter,and such reliefmay be subject to conditions as set forthby the City ofAtlantic Beach.” Relief from landscaping is permitted through a variety of code sections,including Sections 24-64,24-65,and 24-176.The Request does not ask for any additional relief than what is necessary.As depicted in the attached Site Plan,some street frontage landscaping exists along East Coast Drive and Ahern Street but not the entire frontage and is not the required width.Updating the existing conditions to comply with the updated landscaping regulations results in exceptional practical dif?culties and undue hardship and does not improve the quality of the CBD.To the contrary,the removal of parking decreases the quality of life and functionality of the CBD.Landscaping or other beauti?cation efforts are needed elsewhere over the need for additional landscaping at the Property. B.Purpose and intent of Sections 24-64 and 24-176:The Request furthers the purpose and intent of Sections 24-64 and 24-176.This Request is not requested solely for personal comfort or convenience,for relief from ?nancial circumstances,or for relief from situations created by the property owner.Instead,this Request is to accommodate existing conditions,preserving much needed parking,and providing funding for off-site beauti?cation improvements.It is a net—gainto provide beauti?cation in more forward- facing areas as compared to the rear parking lot that does not front Atlantic Boulevard. Agenda Item #9.A. 23 Mar 2026 Page 263 of 307 C.Factors: a.Exceptional circumstances preventing the reasonable use of the property as compared to other properties in the area. The Property is developed with a building and surface parking lot on constrained parcels.299 Atlantic Boulevard was developed without available on-site parking, Whereas most other developments in the CBD include dedicated on-site surface parking.0 Ahem Street is limited in the number of parking spaces that can be provided due to being less than one-quarter acre in size.With certain dimensions needed to provide safe parking and circulation through the site,additional landscaping cannot be provided without removing substantial amounts of parking.That is in contrast to other developed lots within the CBD that were constructed specifically to accommodate a building with enough space for parking with safe circulation. b.Onerous effect of regulations enacted after platting or after development of the property or after construction of improvements upon the property. The Property was developed in 1940,well before the City adopted the current landscaping regulations.Improvements to the Property have been made including provision of landscaping along East Coast Drive and Ahem Street,just not to the current landscaping requirements.Speci?cally,there is a two (2)foot wide landscape strip at the East Coast Drive and Ahem Street intersection and a ten (10)foot by (10) foot landscape planter near the middle row of parking abutting East Coast Drive.When the Property was originally developed,providing wide landscaping strips,trees,and other required landscaping was not contemplated. c.Substandard size of a lot of record warranting a variance to provide for the reasonable use of the property. 0 Ahem Street is only 0.23 acres and is one of the smallest lots within the CBD.In contrast,for example,the parking lot for 363 Atlantic Boulevard is approximately 0.67 acres,over twice the size.Providing the required landscaping would reduce parking on site by over twenty-?ve percent (25%)which is a direct result of the small size of 0 Ahern Street. Conclusion Providing the required landscaping at the Property is a net-negative to the CBD at the cost of twenty-seven percent (27%)of the parking spaces.The Request is consistent with the Zoning Code and the criteria contemplated for administrative relief.Approval of the Request maintains the status quo,allows the provision of much—neededrooftop dining,and serves to relocate needed landscaping or other beauti?cation efforts to more forward—facinglocations through the separate development agreement that will be approved between the City and the Property Owner.
