WHEREAS, Section 335.093, Florida Statutes, authorizes the Florida Department of Transportation to
designate public roads as scenic highways in recognition of their cultural, historic and scenic value; and
WHEREAS, State Road Al A in Duval and Nassau Counties is a historically significant roadway, traversing land

WHEREAS, for most of its length, State Road A1A runs in close proximity to the scenic beauty of the Atlantic
Ocean and its beaches and dunes, and it detours inland around Naval Station Mayport and the road crosses the St. Johns
River via the Mayport Ferry and continues north through marshlands and parks and the natural beauty of Amelia Island;

Columbian civilization and the oldest point of European contact and settlement in the United States; and
WHEREAS, the designation of State Road A1A as a state scenic highway, proposed to be named A1A Ocean

AGENDA ITEM: Public I-Iearing for UBEX -13- 00100071
SUBMITTED 13Y: Michael Griffin, CBO, CFM
Building and Zoning Director
Jeremy Hubsch
Redevelopment a d Zoning Coordinator
DATE: October 18, 2013
STRATEGIC PLAN LINK.: Goal Number 7, Mayport Corridor. This goal is to build, encourage, and
support a vibrant commercial corridor and strong residential neighborhoods along Mayport Road and
adjoining neighborhoods.
BACKGROUND: Request for a use -by- exception to allow for the sale of electric vehicles at a vacant site
at the corner of Mayport Road and 9'1 Street West. The property is zoned Commercial General (CG). The
applicants own an electric vehicle sales business that is currently located along Mayport Road in
Jacksonville. They claim to do about 90% of sales online and serve a customer base that is primarily
outside of North Florida. The applicants previously applied and were approved for a use -by- exception on
a different piece of land they own, which is one block away from this proposed location..
After their original use -by- exception was approved, the applicants changed their mind and decided to
open their business on a different parcel they own. This requires them to get a new use- by-exception. The
new location fronts Mayport Road, thus requiring the applicants to meet Commercial Corridor standards
for the new building they intend to construct. Additionally, they will have to meet all other development
standards required by city codes. Details of the regulations specific to the site are listed in the attached
CDB staff report.
The Community Development Board considered this request along with comments from staff and the
applicants at the October 15`1" meeting, and the Board recommended approval by a vote 01 6-0, finding the
request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as well as Section 24 -63 and Section 24- 111(c) of the
Land Development Regulations,
BUDGET: None.
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to approve as recommended by the Community Development
Board.

Staff
Report
Jeremy Hubsch, Redevelopment and Zoning Coordinator gave a
presentation about Use By Exception 13- 00100071. Mr. Hubsch
noted UBEX and ZVAR is for the same applicant. Initial request
was for a different lot and now they have changed their mind and
they would like to get the same UBEX and ZVAR for a lot on corner
of West 9th St. and Mayport Rd. This requires them to go through
the entire process all over again. By relocating to this 9th St.
location this should alleviate some of the traffic issues that we
were concerned with on the other lot. The original site was
bordering residential property, whereas this one will be bordering
strictly commercial properties. The development standards for
this site are max building height of 35 feet, the setbacks are 20
feet on the front, 10 feet on the side or the rear. They are
required to do a landscape plan and a sign permit. And will have
to meet the Commercial Corridor standards. It is an electrical

OCTOBER 28, 2013
vehicle sales business. 90% of their sales are online. They have
limited traffic and limited visitors based on the nature of their
business. One of the decisions you will need to make is whether or
not you will want to revoke the original UBEX if this one is
approved, it could remain and they could potentially build on the
other site in the future. The applicants also want to be able to
display some of the electric cars along Mayport Road.
Applicant The applicant, Ms. Jackrel, spoke stating their business has grown
Comment tremendously and they need a bigger building. She stated that
they are good neighbors and keep their property's adequetely
maintained. There is really no traffic flow with their type business.
They only have 6 employees. They will be able to fit 2 more
parking spaces on this new lot. They didn't want to display on 10th
St because it isn't as lucrative a piece of property. If she is going
on Mayport Road she doesn't want to be bound to not being able
to put one or two carts displayed. It would be confined on their
property and they would not have for sale signs on them, and be
put away at night. Nothing else has changed except they will gain
more space. No outside repairs. She asked that the board not
take away the last UBEX. She cannot afford to build on that
original property and this new lot at the same time. Eventually she
would like to build a building on the original lot for storage with no
foot traffic.
Public
Comment
Board
Discussion
No one from the public came forward to comment on the request.
Jason Burgess began the discussion stating he thinks the business is
great, but he just can't find an exception for the parking. Hansen
stated he does see the parking exception based on the nature of
the business being mostly Internet they determined at the last
meeting 4 to 1 that they didn't have to have the normal amount of
parking spaces. Hansen also stated that the original UBEX expires 1
year after the date of approval. Mr. Elmore questioned if this UBEX
in line with Mayport Overlay Corridor? Mr. Elmore also stated that
we are issuing so many UBEX and Variances that we should either
do away with the Mayport Overlay for aesthetics or should be
taking these a bit more serious about what the aesthetics are going
to be up and down Mayport Road. It was also discussed that
outside display of merchandise is against our code so we cannot
approve that. The outside display will be a Code Enforcement
issue.
Motion Mr. Hansen moved that the Community Development Board

OCTOBER 28, 2013
recommend approval of the Use -by- exception (Application UBEX-
13- 00100071) to the City Commission, to allow the sale of electric
vehicles, including street legal golf carts, to be located on a
property within the Commercial General (CG) zoning district at 57
West 9th Street.
Mr. Kelly Elmore seconded the motion and it passed, unanimously
6 -0.
B. ZVAR -13- 00100073, 57 West 9th Street.
Public Hearing — Request for variance from the provisions of Section 24- 161(h)(3), to
reduce the required number of off street parking spaces from 23 to 13 on a property
zoned CG at 57 West 9th Street.
Staff
Report
Mr. Hubsch stated that this business is unique whereas they are
mostly an online business and won't have much retail business so
they are requesting to reduce the parking spaces from 23 to 13.
Applicant Ms. Jackrel states that they need the bigger building to be able to
Comment have a turning radius inside the building to move the electric
vehicles around without having to take them outside. She stated
that much of their building use is storage of the vehicles inside.
Public No public comment.
Comment
Board Board member Hansen stated we have approved this previously
Discussion and that says why wouldn't we approve it this time? Mr. Elmore
discussed justifying the reduction of parking spaces by stating that
half of their commercial space is "Industrial Use" then there is a
much lighter parking requirement.
Motion Mr. Hansen moved that the Community Development Board vote
to approve ZVAR -13- 00100073, request for variance from the
provisions of Section 24- 161(h)(3), to reduce the required number
of off street parking spaces from 23 to 13 on a property zoned CG
at 57 West 9th Street. Mr. Elmore seconded the motion and it
carried by a vote of 4 -2. Brea Paul stated this is not addressing the
outside display of vehicles, as it is not permitted by the code.

5. REPORTS.
A. Boats and Trailers. Michael Griffin states that the City Commission has requested
that the Community Development Board discuss the current ordinance for Boats and Trailers
and see if it needs to be amended, strengthened or lessened. He did some investigation of
surrounding jurisdictions and discussed their setbacks for boats and trailers. It was determined
Atlantic Beach has a Tess restrictive code than most adjacent cities and Counties. Mr. Griffin
showed photos of existing boats and trailers and explained the setback requirements. Mr.
Michael Hampton, 651 Begonia St, is an 18 foot boat owner that spoke stating that he has
spent thousands of dollars to fix up his property. He cannot get his boat on either side of his
property because his lot is too small. He states he has been cited with threatening letters for a
$250. a day fine. He thinks the code is good to control eyesores but his boat is not an eyesore.
He would have to remove a tree on his property in order for him to park his boat legally. The
board informed him he could remove the tree legally as long as he is not building in that spot.
He stated his lot is too small and the city right of way takes up most of his front yard. Mr. Paul
Gunsaulies, 780 Begonia St., a camper owner spoke stating he believes the city should make
some exceptions to residents on that side of Mayport Rd regarding storage of boats and
trailers. He stated that the residents on his street spoke to the Commissioners and Carolyn
Woods was outraged about one of the residents not being allowed to have their boat parked
there. Jonathan Dougherty suggested possibly to change the code to 15 feet off of the property
line to 15 feet off of the street for setbacks. The board discussed revisions to the cities' boat
and trailer ordinance and decided to table this item until the next meeting. The board would
like to get the number of boat, trailer and recreation vehicle violations from Code Enforcement
to discuss at the next meeting. The board would also like additional samples of the violations,
and a map showing the setbacks in Atlantic Beach be provided at the next meeting.

Request for use-by-exception to allow for the sale of electric vehicles in a new building
within the Commercial Genera! (CG) Zoning District
LOCATION 57 9TH STREET WEST
APPLICANT TED AND DEBRA IACKREL
DATE OCTOBER 5, 2013
STAFF JEREMY HURSCH, REDEVELOPMENT AND ZONING COORDINATOR
STAFF COMMENTS
This Use -by- Exception is requested to allow for the sale of electric vehicles at a vacant site on 9th Street West, which
is at the corner of Mayport Road and 9th Street West, The applicants currently operate an electric vehicle sales
business called Moto Electric Vehicles at 2426 Mayport Road in Jacksonville. The applicants recently had a Use -By-
Exception approved at a property on 10th Street West for the same use they are currently requesting. They have
since decided that they would like to open a larger facility and are seeking to open at the proposed site instead of
the original 10th Street site. However, they would like to retain their existing Use -By- Exception at the 10th Street
property if they ever decide to expand their business.
The proposed location at Mayport and 9tt, Street appears to be a more appropriate location than the previously
approved 10th Street site. Some residents voiced concerns about traffic impacts that the business would bring to
their neighborhood. 10th Street West is a relatively heavily traveled road, as it is the first left turn you can make
from the Mayport flyover. The ingress /egress for the proposed location at 9th Street is closer to Mayport Road and
is a less heavily traveled road than 10th Street. Additionally, the site at 10th Street directly borders a Habitat for
Humanity residential project The proposed site at 9th Street does not border any residential.
The applicants stated in the application package that the activities on site will be contained to the inside of the
building and that a large majority of sales come from online business. This differs from the majority of automotive
sales in the area which typically have inventory on display outside. Additionally, the products that the applicant
sells appear to be of a higher quality and cost than the typical used car business along Mayport Road. Therefore,
this proposed use does not appear to he comparable or similar to other automotive sales businesses along the
Mayport Road corridor.
If this proposed use was more similar to the existing used car dealers along Mayport Road, staff would
emphatically recommend denial. However, given the uniqueness of the proposed business and the fact that there
will be no outdoor sales; staff believes the proposed use is worth consideration.
Comprehensive Plan
AGENDA ITEM # 3
OCTOBER 28, 2013
Policy A.1.10.5 of the Comprehensive Plan states, "Along the Mayport Road corridor, the continuation and
proliferation of light industrial uses, automotive sales and repair businesses and other more intensive commercial
business activities shall be discouraged in favor of those businesses and uses that provide neighborhood serving
retail products and services that generate daily activity and interaction between residents of the surrounding
neighborhoods ". The proposed business sells products that can be highly desirable to residents of Atlantic Beach.
In a relatively densely populated area, with a wide geographic range of community assets such as Beaches Town
Center, the marsh, and the beach; an electric golf cart or low speed electric vehicle may be preferable to biking or
the automobile. Staff believes this is particularly likely for the elderly residents of Fleet Landing, the golf club
residents of Selva Marina, or residents of the many beachside or marshside communities throughout Atlantic
Beach.
Policy A.1.14.1 of the Comprehensive Plan states, "The city shall maintain an energy efficient land use pattern and
shall continue to promote the use of transit and alternative methods of transportation that decrease reliance on the
automobile ". Electric vehicles are energy efficient and better for the environment than those that use gas. Low
speed electric vehicles and electric golf carts are also commonly used as alternative forms of transportation in an
array of communities across the nation. One noteworthy example is The Villages in central Florida, where golf carts
are the preferred method of transportation throughout the community and its commercial centers.
Policy A.1.10.4 of the Comprehensive Plan states that, "retail and service uses that sustain neighborhoods, and
encourage a more aesthetically pleasing and pedestrian friendly environment shall be encouraged ". As previously
stated, the proposed use promotes a more pedestrian friendly environment that is less reliant on the automobile.
Additionally, the applicants are proposing a pedestrian friendly building design that locates the building close to
the street, has perimeter landscaping, and visually screens the parking area from Mayport Road.
Development Standards
If the use -by exception is approved, the proposed site plan will undergo an additional review from staff in regards
to compliance with the Atlantic Beach Land Development Regulations. The proposed site is located less than 100
feet from the right -of -way of Mayport Road, and therefore will have to meet the commercial corridor development
standards outlined in LDR section 24 -171. Below are development standards that will need to be met by the
applicants:
• Maximum building height of 35'
• Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR) of 70%
• Front setback of 20' or 10' if parking is on the side or rear of building, rear setback of 10', side yard setback
of 10' where adjacent to residential. Otherwise a combined 15 total feet with five feet minimum on either
side.
• Per 24- 161.b.4, no sales or business activity can occur within parking areas.
• Per 24- 161.k.2, all new development requires bicycle parking.
• Commercial corridor development standards per 24 -171. This includes a section that says no metal clad,
corrugated metal, plywood, or exposed concrete block are allowed as exterior finish materials.
• A sign permit will be required. The site is allowed 1 square foot of display area for each linear foot of
frontage, provided no such sign shall exceed 96 square feet or 8 feet in height, and 12 feet in width. 1 free
standing sign for every 100' of frontage, up to 3 total signs.
• A landscape plan is required. 10% of vehicular use area shall be landscaped; if storing vehicles for sale, at
least 5% must be landscaped; a landscape area of not less than 10 square feet for each linear foot of street
frontage, 50% of which shall be at least a five foot wide strip abutting the street right of way (except
driveways), the remaining area shall be within 25' of the right of way; a durable opaque landscape screen
along at least 75% of the street frontage, excluding driveways, must be 3' high for shrubs.

(4) Lots: 170771 -0000 thru 170774 -0000
September 23, 2013
Dear Mr. Hubsch:
Please submit the following statement of facts and special reasons for the requested USE- BY-
EXCEPTION
1) Existing (4) lots had already been approved, back in approximately, 1998, as a parking lot, for our
auto dealership. This property has been used for this purpose, consistently, up to and including the
date of this letter.
2) As per your research, in order to improve upon this property location, the prior approvals cannot be
grandfathered if any improvements to the property take place; therefore requiring another use -by
exception application.
3) We would like to build a building on the existing (4) Tots as per the rendering sketch attached.
Please be advised that this property will be used by our business: Moto Electric Vehicles, as has already
been approved for the West 10th Street lots. We are seeking approval to change the location from our West
10th Street lots to these West 9th Street Tots, for the immediate construction of our new facility.
Reasons:
a) Originally, this property had a "potential' buyer, as we were attempting to sell this property. This deal
has now fallen through, and thus is causing us hardship to retain this comer lot with no lease or sale
in the near future. This is the major reason for the re- application to the West 9th Street property
b) Basically the same neighborhood, so locals should not be upset with the change of location
c) Building size can be increased by — 200 square feet
d) Additional two parking spots will be created
e) External Display area will now be usable
f) Loading dock will not affect the incoming traffic off Mayport Road, as W9th Street does not have the
break in the middle divider
g) Adjoining properties are both commercial, as are Surrounding properties, across the street, which
will make the neighborhood more user friendly.
h) Entrance and Exits from the property will be on W 9th Street
Please grant us the use- by exception so that we may commence final building plans and construction, and
not delay the process. Thank you for expediting the scheduling for the next approval meeting.
Best Regards,
Debra Jackrel

Please explain any employment experience, board/committee experience, and/or community volunteer experience
relative to the board/committee applying for.
Following a career in local nonprofit and county leadership (resume attached), I retired from my position as Executive
Director of the Jacksonville Children's Commission in March of this year. I am currently working with a group of
citizens to formally name our 37 mile long barrier island, "San Pablo Island ", as well as serving as a member of the
Save the Ferry committee. However, I am devoted to civic life in our little community of Atlantic Beach as well as
the development of a "sense of place" on our island. As a newly retired professional with boundless levels of energy
and interest in our community, I'm eager to contribute to the further creation of a healthy, inclusive, vibrant place
where businesses thrive, families have opportunity, children grow up safe and healthy and all of us have a better
chance.
Please provide a brief explanation of your interest or any special qualifications you have in this field and your reasons
for wishing to be appointed to this board/committee.
As the former executive director of a city department with a $60 million budget, I am familiar with local, state and
federal funding issues. I also have a strong background in community and human services, especially services to
children and poor populations. However, my skills are transferable to other community development projects, which
is why I prioritized the Community Development Board.
