City Manager's Community Update
Date: May 26, 2026
To: The Atlantic Beach Community and City Commission
From: Kevin Hogencamp, Interim City Manager/khogencamp@coab.us
% na-1
CENTENNIAL
E.e. is2s
This report provides an update on some primary administrative and community -focused
initiatives under way at City Hall. 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. Beaches Town Center Lighting
Because Beaches Town Center (BTC) sits directly on the border of two cities and uses two
different utility providers, upgrading the streetlights requires a coordinated effort. While the
BTC Agency helps spearhead the aesthetic vision and raises supplemental capital through
community fundraisers (like the BTCA Golf Classic and Dancin' in the Street), the core
structural cost of the utility poles and electrical grid integration relies on municipal capital
improvement budgets and utility partnerships (JEA and Beaches Energy). The project is an
active prioritywith ongoing coordination between the City Manager's office, the BTC Agency,
and the utility providers to establish the scope, design standards, and cost-sharing
mechanics for the new streetlights.
2. Marsh Oaks Community Center
The parking lot replacement project is underway, with completion anticipated before the
center's September opening. This phase also includes removing old fencing and vegetation
to better integrate the center with Beaches Veterans Memorial Park. The community garden
installation will follow. Residents will soon be invited to help define the programming and
operational strategy for the new facility.
3. Tree Protection Code Update
Staff intends to present ordinance verbiage focusing on the immediate preservation of our
old-growth maritime forest—specifically our iconic live oaks—on June 8 for City
Attachment B to
5-26-26 Minutes
Commission review and feedback. The first reading of an ordinance may be on the City
Commission's agenda as early as June 22.
4. Watering Restrictions
Due to severe regional drought conditions and declining groundwater levels, the St. Johns
River Water Management District has placed Duval County, including Atlantic Beach, under
a mandatory Phase III Extreme Water Shortage declaration. Under these emergency rules,
landscape irrigation for residential and commercial properties has been strictly limited to
just one day per week. Additionally, outdoor watering is completely prohibited during the
daytime hours between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. to minimize evaporative water loss. The
order also bans non-essential water usage, including aesthetic water features and non-
critical pressure washing, with local code enforcement authorized to issue citations for
violations.
5. Legislative Appropriation Requests
I am pleased to report that the state continues to appear poised to contribute $1,257,500
toward three critical Atlantic Beach priorities as House and Senate budget negotiators near
a final agreement: $650,000 for Sherman Creek dredging and bank stabilization; $212,500
for the Dora Drive stormwater pond to protect 92 structures from 25 -year floods; $200,000
to further our Marsh Oaks septic tank elimination efforts; and $195,000 for the Sailfish Drive
multi -use path. This vital funding would significantly advance our city's infrastructure,
environmental health, and flood resilience goals.
CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH
Mission
The place to be -- through exceptional public services.
2040 Vision
In Atlantic Beach, we have a strong sense of belonging and safety. Our citizens and government care
deeply about community character, and we understand that unified support is required to
preserve it. We are graced with the functional beauty of our beach, our marsh, and our tree
canopy. Our shady streets and multi -use paths connect our welcoming neighborhoods and
vibrant local businesses. Our city supports our diverse, multigenerational, socially linked
community with green spaces, active lifestyles, parks, and programming.
City Commission Priorities
In 2018, the Atlantic Beach City Commission began undertaking an annual exercise that establishes
priorities forcitygovernment. This endeavoris facilitated by Atlantic Beach resident Linda Lanier,
who volunteers her services.

Background
Property is owned by sisters, Lauren Bartlett and Susan Bartlett
Rankin
RG -M zoning district, Residential Low Density Comp. Plan
Vacant lot
Previous plat was 2 lots of approximately 50ft by 354.77 ft and
50ft by 338.49ft
Existing lot surveyed at approximately 100ft by 359ft or 36,315
square feet of lot area
New proposed plat
Lot 1 (not a perfect rectangle) — 52.6ft by 211.4ft
Lot 2 — 50ft by 160ft = 8,000 square feet
Lot 3 — 50ft by 160ft = 8,000 square feet
Lot 4 (not a perfect rectangle) - 52.6ft by 195ft
Attachment C to
5-26-26 Minutes
Background
Prior to the adoption of the 2024 Land Development Code (Chapter 24)
updates, the RG -M zoning district required a minimum lot size of 7,500
square feet for single-family development and zoning required min. lot
width of 75 ft.
This standard was not fully consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's
density and development pattern policies for the area.
Under the previous regulations, the subject property could have been
developed either as a multifamily building containing up to four dwelling
units or subdivided to create two single-family residential lots.
The current code maintains the same overall residential density but
allows for greater flexibility in lot configuration to better align with
established development patterns in the surrounding area. This approach
supports smaller lot sizes that are consistent with nearby properties,
including a 7 unit development located to the north on a smaller overall
parcel and a 5 -unit development located to the south on a similarly sized
pa rce 1.
Updated regulations promote consistency with the existing neighborhood
context while remaining compliant with the Comprehensive Plan.
