The meeting was opened by the Chairman and the first item
for consideration was a request from Elm Investors for the
approval of a Planned Unit Development on Mayport Road.
The development is planned to be a combination of 88
living unit apartments and commercial establishments
including a Hardee ' s hamburger restuarant on Mayport Road ,
the property is approximately 7 acres of land with 458
feet on Mayport Road and has a depth of 674 feet. The
site plan for the development was presented by Mr. David
MaCulley and he outlined that this is the same land that
was rezoned approximately 2 years ago for Mr . Herbert Jost.
The Board after reviewing the plan and discussing the
density, off-street parking and other pertinent details
was satisfied that this was the highest and best use for
the land, voted unanimously to recommend that the Commission
approve this P .U.D .
The application of Mr . Howard D. Hann to rezone industrial
property for the purpose of constructing multi-family
apa=tments which was denied by the City Commission at the
July 9 meeting with a recommendation that it be placed
under P.U.D. The Board ' s response to this action was a
recommendation that the industrial zoning be maintained
solely for industry.
The next application for P .U .D. presented by R. W.
Maxwell for construction of a motel on the southeast corner
of Ardella and Mayport Roads in Atlantic Beach. The plan
presented indicated 8 units of about 400 square feet each
which featured a kitchenette , dining area , living area ,
bedroom and bath. The Board after reviewing the plan
determined that although this was called a motel , it could
a:2adily be converted without alteration to an apartment
house and as such the density ratio would be approximately
60 units per acre . The Board voted to recommend that the
Commission deny this application as submitted, however,
they did suggest that with City Commission concurrence
the owner be notifyed that if the kitchen and dining
facilities are removed and a true motel design is re-
submitted, the Board would take it under consideration .

The Board then entered into a discussion about the need
for rezoning in Section H for the purpose of reducing
the potential high density that "C" zoning allows in the
entire area. It was decided that each Board member
design a zoning map for submittal at the next meeting , and
from this with further study, a plan could be developed
to submit to the City Commission .
There being no further business , the Chairman declared the
meeting adjourned.
