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: The applicants are requesting to rezone a 7.2 acre property that is currently zoned
Commercial Limited (CL) and Residential General Multi-Family (RG-M) to a Special Planned Area
(SPA) for up to 80 residential units. The property is located on the eastern side of the Mayport Road
flyover, near Atlantic Boulevard. As proposed, the project will consist of a variety of multi-family
dwelling types that include duplex, triplex, and quadplex units. The property is in a Residential High
Density Future Land Use District, which allows a maximum of 20 units per acre. The proposed project
has a density of 11.2 units per acre.
The applicants are seeking to create a unique development that would not ordinarily be allowed in a
traditional zoning district. The Community Development Board staff rep01t details the specifics of the
development, waivers requested, and sections of the Comprehensive Plan that relate to the project.
The Community Development Board considered this request along with comments from staff, the public
and the applicants at the November 19 111 meeting, and the Board recommended approval by a vote of 6-0.
The board found the request consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, as well
as Division 6 of the Land Development Regulations, which relates to Special Planned Area Districts
(SPA)

RECOMMENDATION:
None.
Review recommendation of Community Development Board for
consideration to draft ordinance amending zoning to a Special Planned
Area.

Project Description
AGENDA ITEM# 8E
JANUARY 13, 2014
Habitat for Humanity is seeking to use the Special Planned Area District (SPA) to create a unique development that
otherwise would not be allowed by a conventional zoning district in Atlantic Beach. Planned developments
generally enable flexibility for building setbacks, lot widths, and lot coverage; in exchange for the creation of park
space, open space, and landscaped buffers. Per Section 24-116 of the Atlantic Beach Land Development
Regulations, "The purpose of the special planned area district is to create a mechanism to establish a plan of
development or redevelopment for a site where the property owner and the community's interests cannot be best
served by the provisions of the conventional zoning distdcts, and where assurances and commitments are
necessary to protect the interests of both the property owner and the public, and also the unique qualities of the
City of Atlantic Beach."
The proposed project has smaller lot widths and building setbacks, and higher lot coverage than allowed in a
standard development in Atlantic Beach. However, this is a unique development for Atlantic Beach. The applicants
have described the design of the development as a Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND). While staff does
not believe the development to be a fully fledged TND, it does display some elements from a design standpoint
such as a centrally located park space, alleys, front porches, and walkability. The scale of the project and location
along a stretch of Mayport Road that has no left turn lanes is a deterrent to the mixed use ( commercialjretail)
component of a Traditional Neighborhood Development. Additionally, the development is lacking connectivity to
adjacent neighborhoods, which often occurs in a TND,
The SPA is providing a centrally located park space, though not required to per Atlantic Beach Code. Only
developments over 10 acres must provide recreation per 24-257. However, this project can hypothetically have a
higher population than a 10 acre development in a Residential Low Density Future Land Use, which has a
maximum density of 6 units per acre. The applicants are providing 5 feet of landscaped buffers along the entire
northern, eastern, and southern property boundaries, though not required to by code. There will be a 10'
landscaped buffer along the entire Mayport Road facing corridor, which is required by the Atlantic Beach
Commercial Corridor development standards outlined in 24-171.
It is anticipated that the proposed 80 units will be mostly duplex, triplex, and quadplex buildings. The applicants do
not yet know what customer demand will be like, and thus would like the flexibility to alter the unit type shown on
the site plan, while maintaining the same general layout. The SPA text clearly states that any modifications that
change the use, building height, density, buffers and open space, and access points/driveways will need to come
back before the Community Development Board and Commission as required per Section 24-124. The units will be
sold fee simple to Habitat for Humanity participants. The SPA proposes 2 parking spaces per dwelling unit as
required by code, as well as an additional minimum 20 visitor spaces. Habitat for Humanity plans to create an HOA
to maintain the project in perpetuity, but at this time the HOA documents have not yet been created. Per the SPA
text, membership in the HOA will be mandatory for all homeowners, and all open space, retention areas, park, and
landscaping will be maintained by the HOA.
The commercial corridor development standards outlined in Section 24-171. which pertain to all structures within
100 feet of Mayport Road, state that all new buildings shall be made of brick, wood, stucco, decorative masonry,
exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS), architectural or split-faced type block, or other finish materials with
similar appearance and texture. It also states that metal clad, corrugated metaL plywood or oriented strand board
(OSB), and exposed plain concrete are not permitted. The applicants have submitted architectural renderings for
the project that are consistent with this requirement (attached). Given the location of the site at the entrance to
Mayport Road and its visibility from Atlantic Boulevard, staff believes it is important to ensure that this project will
be aesthetically pleasing.
At this time the city's Public Works Director has a few outstanding construction level comments that need to be
worked out with the applicants prior to this item going to the City Commission. Additionally the City of Jacksonville
Fire Department is still in the process of reviewing the project for any public safety issues. It is anticipated that
these will be cleared up shortly.

Compatibility
The proposed project is generally compatible with adjacent properties. To the east is another multi-family project,
to the north is a small fast food restaurant, and to the south is a mini-storage facility, which faces the opposite
direction. According to section 24-177 (e), the applicants are not required to provide any buffers between adjacent
parcels. If they were required to provide a buffer, it would need to be ten feet wide where bordering an
incompatible use. The applicants have chosen to provide a 5 foot wide landscaped buffer along the east, north, and
south property lines. As previously mentioned, they are also providing a 10 foot wide landscaped buffer along
Mayport Road. Below is a table of the Future Land Use and Zoning of adjacent parcels:

Per Section 24-62.c.2, the Community Development Board shall "Indicate the relationship of the proposed
rezoning to the comprehensive plan for the city and provide a finding that the requested change in zoning is
consistent with the comprehensive plan." Below are a few goals, objectives, and policies of the comprehensive plan
that are relevant to this project. Consistency with the comprehensive plan is one of the findings of fact necessary
for approval of the SPA.
Goal A.1
The City shall manage growth and redevelopment in a manner which results in a pattern of land uses that: 1)
encourages, creates and maintains a healthy and aesthetically pleasing built environment, 2) avoids blighting
influences, 4) maintains the City's distinct residential community character
Objective A.1.3-Maintaining Residential Character
The City shall encourage future development and redevelopment, which 1) retains the exceptionally high quality of
life and the predominantly residential character of the City of Atlantic Beach ... and, 3) provides for varied and
diverse recreational opportunities ... and which provides for and maintains energy efficient land use patterns.
Objective A.1.5-Sound Development Patterns
The City shall maintain development patterns which 1) prevent blighting influences 2) foster diverse and stable
neighborhoods ... 4) provide proper locations for ... energy efficient land use patterns, and 5) encourage healthy and
aesthetically pleasing living conditions.
Policy A.1.5.5
Flexible regulatory methods shall be utilized to provide incentives for achieving environmental enhancement,
economical land development and energy efficient patters of land use that provide for an appropriate mix of uses
within the City.
Policy 1.5.8
The City shall permit residential development only in compliance with the residential density limitations as set
forth within the Land Development Regulations, and as designated on the Future Land Use Map in accordance
with the following table.
Objective A.1.6
The City shall preserve the sound structural condition and the diverse character of the built environment of the
City and shall encourage development programs and activities that are directed at infill development as well as the
conservation, redevelopment and re-use of existing structures and the preservation of and re-investment
in older neighborhoods.
Page 4 of8
Policy A.1.6.3
AGENDA ITEM# 8E
JANUARY 13, 2014
The City shall discourage redevelopment practices that displace very low, low and moderate-income residents.
Objective A.1.10
The City shall continue to maintain a development character which is compact in form, orderly in its land use
patter, and diversified in its makeup so as to ensure employment opportunities, affordable housing. a pleasant
living environment, and cost effective and energy efficient public services.
PolicyA.1.10.4
The City shall actively support the appropriate redevelopment and infill development of the Mayport Road
corridor. Retail and service uses that sustain neighborhoods and encourage a more aesthetically pleasing and
pedestrian friendly environment shall be encouraged. New development along Mayport Road shall be in
compliance with the Commercial Corridor Development Standards as set forth within the Land Development
Regulations.
Objective A.1.11
The City shall provide for land use, development and redevelopment in an efficient manner, which supports the
land use designations as set forth within the 2010-2020 Future Land Use Map; which enforces the residential
densities and the limitations upon the type and intensity of uses, and which results in development appropriate to
the sensitive coastal location of the City, particularly with respect to the predominantly residential character and
small-town scale of the City.
PolicyA.1.14.1
The City shall continue to 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.
Policy A.1.14.2
The City shall continue to encourage and develop the "walk-ability and bike-ability" of the City as a means to
promote the physical health of the City's residents
Waivers
The applicants are requesting thirteen waivers. Section 24-121 states "The special planned area district should not
be construed as a mechanism to diminish the requirements set forth elsewhere within this chapter or other
chapters of the City Code. Waivers to existing development standards shall be approved by the city commission
and only upon demonstration that an alternative standard will provide a better development outcome with
respect to the quality of design and development form." The waivers requested by the applicants are essentially
areas where certain aspects of the SPA differ from the standard requirements of the code. It should be noted that
the practical purpose of planned developments is to seek relief from standard setbacks, lots sizes, and lot widths.
These types of items are typically not listed as waivers in a PUD/SPA. For instance, in the Atlantic Beach Country
Club SPA, there are several lot types and building setbacks that are smaller than allowed by Atlantic Beach's
zoning districts, but there were no waivers listed in the staff report or SPA text.
In this case, the applicants have chosen to provide all areas where the development varies from what is allowed by
code. Waivers 4-10 are all examples of items that are often times not considered a traditional waiver in a planned
development These items generally relate to requests for lesser setbacks, lot sizes and widths; and greater
Impervious Surface Ratio (ISR). As pointed out earlier, increased landscaping, open space, and park space is often
a tradeoff for allowing these types of requests in a planned development Waivers 1-3 relate to requests for limited
relief from landscaping requirements. Waiver 11 requests a reduction in setbacks for accessory structures.
Waivers 12 and 13 are requests for relief for roadway standards.
The City Commission has the power to grant. deny, or alter any of these waivers. The Community Development
Board shall take them into consideration when making a recommendation.

1. Per section 24-171, Commercial Corridor, it references Div. 8 Landscaping which requires 50% of the required
trees along the Mayport frontage road be shade trees. Due to the adjacent overhead power, shade trees are not
permitted to be located in this proximity to the power lines: therefore, this buffer will only include understory
trees and palm trees.
2. Per Section 23-30, Minimum Tree requirements under Division 4 General provision, which is later referenced by
Division 8, For triplex parcels, we are requesting to 33% shade tree versus the required 50% shade tree
requirement. Overall, there will be 40% shade trees on the development parcels. This reduction of shade trees is
off-set from the additional planting that has been provided elsewhere on the property that is not required by code.
3. Per Section 23-30, Minimum Tree requirements under Division 4 General provision, we are requesting to plant
3" caliper trees versus the required 4" caliper trees. This reduction in size is requested due to availability of non-
shade plant material along with costs, and is off-set from the additional planting that has been provided elsewhere
on the property that is not required by code. Please note, that only required trees on-site are located on the
individual residential parcels and the Landscape Enhancement area to Mayport
4. Per Sec. 24-88 which requires for "high density residential development, a minimum lot area of two-thousand
one hundred seventy-five (2,175) square feet for each dwelling unit." We request for duplex units through quaplex
units, that the outside unit have a minimum lot size of 2,300 SF, and inside units have a minimum lot size of 1,450
SF.
5. Per Section 24-108 (d) (1) minimum lot area requirement for "Single-family dwellings" requires seven thousand
five hundred (7,500) square feet". Our single-family lot is 2,900 sf.
6, Per Section 24·1 08, minimum yard requirements, requires "Front Yard setback: Twenty (20) feet." Our request
is 8 foot from open porches (12 foot from building) for rectangular lots. On irregular lots we request a minimum 4
foot for open air porches, 8 feet for exterior building wall (for a maximum one unit per building) most closely
located to the irregular portion of the lot front boundary.
7. Per Section 24-108, minimum yard requirements which requires "Rear Yard setback: Twenty (20) feet." We
request 15 feet.
8. Per section 24-108, minimum side requirements require:
a. Single-family dwellings: Combined fifteen (15) total feet and five (5) minimum feet either side.
b. Two-family (duplex) dwellings and townhouse: Seven and one-half(7.5) each side."
We request side setbacks of 5 feet. On corner lots: To maintain a clear sight triangle at intersections, no
obstructions to vision exceeding 4 feet in height shall be allowed within the straight line connection of a 10 foot
offset from the intersecting right-of-way lines of two streets.
9. Per section 24-108, minimum lot width requirements of ten (75) feet. We request 32 feet for a single family lot,
50 feet for a duplex parcel and 68 feet for a triplex parcel type.
10. Per section 24-108, Building Restrictions which requires "The building restrictions for the RG-M zoning district
shall be a 50% Maximum impervious surface. For Parcel Types 1 through 4 we request a 65% maximum
impervious surface. Furthermore, on the individual units we request an average 60% impervious on exterior units
and 75% impervious on internal units.
11. Per Section 24-151, Accessory Structures, Detached carports have a 5 foot side and rear yard setback
requirements, and private garages have a 10 foot rear and side yard setback. We request all accessory structures
have a minimum 3 foot side and rear yard setback.

AGENDA ITEM# 8E
JANUARY 13, 2014
12. Per section 24-252 (i) cul-de-sac's require a minimum 50 foot right-of-way. We request a 44 foot right-of-way
for an approximate 200 feet in length.
13. Per section, 24-252 (c)(l) which states "Any subdivision of land, which creates more than ten (10) residential
lots shall provide two (2) separate access points, unless other provisions, such as permanent easements, are made
for emergency ingress, and provided that such entrances will not adversely affect the street system." We are
providing two access points however, only one will be for ingress.

COrridor Cbde under !Jvision 7, ~ion 24-171. This landscape enhancement area may indude walls and/or
fendng not to exceed 42 inches in height, and community sidewalks. The intent of this landscape enhancement is
to indude a residentially scaled landscape buffer to Mayport Rlad to indude a rurvilinear row of shrubs, and a
mixture of understory trees, and palm trees.
Slrubs I native grasses within this enhancement area will be planted with a 7 gallon container at time of
installation to provide an instant landscape screen. Slade trees will not be planted within this enhancement area
due to the proximity of the power lines along Mayport Rlad. Understory trees and palm trees will be planted no
less than one tree for every 50 linear feet within this enhancement area. Trees may be dustered but shall be no
more than 75 feet apart. For the purpose of this enhancement area, understory trees will be planted with a

a minimum 10 foot dear trunk.
0.2: Northern and S:Juthern Ferimeter Landscape buffer:
Although not required by code, a five foot wide landscape buffer has been located adjacent to the northern and
southern property boundaries that abuts the commerdal developments. This Landscape B...lffer has been
considered and incorporated into the side yards of individual lots and alley widths. This will indude a continuous
landscape area with shrubs, ground covers, tree coverage, mulch and grass. No less than one tree for every 50
linear feet shall be planted within this buffer. Trees may be dustered but shall be no more than 75 feet apart.
Page4of9
201 MAYFORTROAD
AGENDA ITEM# 8E
JANUARY 13, 2014
These Perimeter Buffers may also indude a visual screen where existing fendnglwallsare acceptable, which maybe
a six foot tall wood, or masonry wall, or landscaping. Ranted trees within these buffers will be planted with a
minimum 2" caliper trunk and/or palm trees with a minimum 8 foot dear trunk.

the abutting property to the east. The adjoining property indudes a six foot black aluminum picket fence. This
buffer will indude a continuous landscape area with shrubs, ground covers, tree coverage, mulch and grass. No less
than one tree for every 50 linear feet shall be planted within this buffer. Trees may be dustered but shall be no
more than 75 feet apart. These Perimeter Buffers may also indude a visual screen where existing fendnglwalls are
acceptable, which may be a six foot tall wood, or masonry wall, or landscaping. Ranted treeswithin these buffers
will be planted with a minimum 2" caliper trunk and/or palm trees with a minimum 8 foot dear trunk.
0.4: Interior Central LDop Rlad ~ght-of-Way Landscaping:
The Central LDop Rlad and ~ght-of-Way indudesa boulevard entryvvay, which merges into a2-lane roadway, then
to a one-way loop road around a central community park.
Although not required by code, the boulevard portion of the road shall indude for a mixture of shade, understory
and palm trees, along with shrubs, ground covers, mulch and grass, within the internal median and outside the
edge of pavement within this segment of the right-of-way.
Although not required by code, the two-way portion of the Central Loop shall allow for a mixture of shade,
understory and palm trees, along with shrubs, ground covers, mulch and grass.
Although not required by code, the one-way loop road centered on a community park shall allow a similar mixture
of planting on the residential frontage portion of the right-of-way. As designed, the interior portion of the right-of-
way has been designed to allow use with emergency vehides. No vegetation other than sod shall be allowed within
the first 3 feet of the back of pavement on the interior portion of this right-of-way to allow for an open 20 foot
width for emergency vehides.
0.5: Interior O:>mmon Area landscaping:
O:>mmon areas within the s:'Ashall allow landscaping at the developer's discretion.
0.6: Interior Individual Parcel landscaping:
For the purposes of this submittal, other than single family units that will meet the interior lot requirements by
code, other required trees will be considered on a per parcel basis (building type). The minimum tree planting
requirements proposed will comply with the matrix below.
Parcel Type Typical s= R::quired Trees R"ovided Trees
Duplex Parcel 4,600S: 1 U/1 S 1 U/1 S
Triplex Parcel 6,250S: 1 U/2S 2U/1S
Quadplex Parcel 7,725 s= 2U/2S 2U/2S
The above matrix when evaluated over all of the duplex, triplex and quadplex parcels, equates to 40%shade trees
and GO% understory (U) trees, which is less than the required 50% shade (S) threes. It will be typical that where lots
abut each other, many of the larger shade trees will be placed in the rear of each parcel and on the property line
between two parcels, to allow for the greatest amount of room for the root ball to grow.
This reduction of shade tree planting on an individual parcel is off-set with the additional non-required planting that
has been provided across the entire development.

JANUARY 13, 2014
1. Per section 24-171, Commerdal Corridor, it references Div. 8 Landscaping which requires 50% of the
required trees along the Mayport frontage road be shade trees. Due to the adjacent overhead power,
shade trees are not permitted to be located in this proximity to the power lines; therefore, this buffer
will only indude understory trees and palm trees.
2. Per S3ction 23-30, Minimum Tree requirements under Division 4 General provision, which is later
referenced by Division 8, For triplex parcels, we are requesting to 33% shade tree versus the required
50% shade tree requirement. CNerall, there will be 40% shade trees on the development parcels. This

A. Boats and Trailers. Brea Paul asl<ed for a vote by show of hands to take the
Agenda out of order and discuss Boats and Trailers ahead of New Business
b ased on the number of citizens in attendance to speal< on this topic. Brea
Pau1 stated the Boats and Trailers Ordinance was discussed at the October 151h
m eeting and the Board had asked staff for some additional details to include
the actual numbe r of violations that were actually prese nt. Michael Griffin
s pol<e sta ting the Board asl<ed for some site boundary information, Code
Enforceme nt information and staff did a survey of 80% of Atlantic Beach and
found that th e re were 21 boat violations, 13 of the violations the boats could
be relocated on the property and be found in compliance. 28 boats were
found in compliance. Five trailers and campers were found in violation and 9
n·ailers and campers wet·e found in complia nce. On the Code Enforcement
issu es we average 10 complaints per month for boats a nd trailers or
recreational vehicles in the front ya rd. Mr. Griffin refreshed the boards
memory that jacksonville, St. Augustine, Neptune Beach and St. Johns County
has the same r egulations of no boa ts or trailers in th e front 20ft fr·ont yar·d
setback. Jacl<sonville Beach allows one 20 ft boat in the front yard setbaclc.
Atlantic Beach is less restrictive than Ja cl<sonvH ie, Neptune Beach, St.
Augustine and St. johns County by allowing the boat to be 15ft fr om the front
property line. T he Board also aslced for some boundary information. Mr.
Griffin showed a plat of the Pari< Terrace subdivision stated that when plats
are set up houses are set up on the lot with g e n e rally a 20ft setback, anything

beyond that 20ft setbaclc is in the right of way. He then showed several
examples of compliant lots and noncompliant Jots boats, trailers and campers.
I<eUy Elmore questioned how long time wise can a boat or recreational vehicle
be in the right of way before Code Enforcement will tidcet it. Mr. Griffin
responded stating Code Enforcement will leave a courtesy notice first giving a
reasonable time. Mr. Elmore aslced and if the homeowner states that it is a
visitor and it will be removed in a few days 7 Mr. Griffin stated the City will
work with them before taking any code enforcement action. The firstspeaker
was Mr. Paul Gunsaulis, 780 Begonia Sb·eet. Mr. Gunsaulis stated that because
everyone in Atlantic Beach has different lot lines, he feels the only way the City
can uniformly enforce the Boats and Trailers Ordinance is to change the
wording on b (2) from stating "15 ft setbacl{ from the lot line" to read "15ft
setback from stt·eet pavement." He states that would put him in compliance.
The second spealcer was Michael Hampton, 651 Begonia Stt·eet. He stated
someone from tlte City came out to his property yesterday and told him he
coukl talce down 2 n·ees on the Jot and move his boat bade and be in
compliance. He said it is absurd for him to remove trees and that too many
trees have been removed in Atlantic Beach akeady. He states again that "he
will not remove his boat, the City can fine him all they want, he will not move
his boat". The thh·d spealcer was Linda Spencer, 282 Magnolia Street. She
agrees with homeowners having home rights but her neighbors have their
boat parl{ed right underneath her bedroom window. She is in favor of the
Ordinance the way it is. Final speaker is Chris Lamber·tson, 357 12Lh St.
Believes the issues with Boats and Trailers started because of the lade of Code
Enforcement on this ordinance in the past. Mr. Lambertson believes that our
codes are too lax for boats aesthetically and the noise factor and that the City
should increase the setbad< for boats, n·ailers and recreational vehicles. I<elly
Ebnore stated that this ordinance is in place for a reason and we do have the
most lax ordinance compared to surrounding municipalities. He feels the
ordinance should be left just as it is. The ordinance withholds the standard
aesthetic throughout the City. Harley Parlces stated that he agrees with Mr.
Elmore. Sylvia Simmons stated that she drove all over the City and was
sltl·prised at how few violations she saw. Ms. Simmons stated reducing the
requirement may result in creating more boats and trailers. She doesn't thinlc
the Ordinance should be changed at all Brea Paul says she concurs with all
the other board members, we have the most lax code already.
l{eJiy Ehnore made a motion to l<eep the Boats and Trailers Ordinance as
written in place, unaltered. Harley Parl<es seconded the motion and it carried
by a vote of 6·0.

presentation about SPA-13-00100075. Mr. Hubsch showed an
aerial of the site and described the neighboring sites. Stated that
the site was formerly a development of 96 units that had been
previously torn down roughly 10 years ago. He then showed a
Future Land Use Map and discussed density of surrounding
properties and the zoning. Subject property is 7.2 acres and the
applicants are proposing a maximum of 80 residential units.
Maximum allowable density is 20 units in a Residential High
Density Land Use, and the applicants are proposing a development
with 11.2 units per acre, so it is below the maximum density. The
applicants are proposing 4 unit types, Single family, duplex, triplex
and quadplex. As it is currently designed, there will be only one
single family home. They will be providing 2 parking spaces per
unit and 20 visitor parking spaces. There will be a lOft landscape
buffer along Mayport Road, which is required per our Mayport
Corridor Standards. There will be a Sft landscape buffer along the
entire Northern, Southern and Eastern property boundary, which
is not required by our code. The Commercial Corridor standards
for construction materials along Mayport Road will be met. It is
anticipated that the proposed 80 units will be mostly duplex,
triplex, and quadplex buildings. The applicants do not yet know
what customer demand will be like, and thus would like the
flexibility to alter the unit type shown on the site plan, while
maintaining the same general layout. The SPA clearly states that
any modifications that change the use, building height, density,
buffers and open space, and access points/driveways will need to
come back before the Community Development Board and
Commission as required per Section 24-124. Habitat for Humanity
plans to create an HOA to maintain the project in perpetuity, but
at this time the HOA documents have not yet been created. Mr.
Hubsch states that Per Section 24-62.c.2, the Community
Development Board shall "Indicate the relationship of the
proposed rezoning to the comprehensive plan for the city and
provide a finding that the requested change in zoning is consistent
with the comprehensive." He then discussed some of the goals,
objectives, and policies of the comprehensive plan that are
relevant to this project. Mr. Hubsch gave an overview of the
thirteen waivers that the applicants are requesting. He also gave
an overview of the boards required actions. He also stated that
staff does not have any recommendations at this time and will be
leaving the decision up to the board.
The applicant, Jay McGarvey, Chairman of Beaches Habitat stated
that they are very excited to present this model community for the

residents of Atlantic Beach. He states that this development will
dress up Mayport Road. He then introduced the President of
Beaches Habitat, Mr. Brian Wheeler. Mr. Wheeler presented
several examples of other neighborhoods that have developed
using the same traditional neighborhood design that Habitat is
proposing. He showed computer images of the before and after of
the site. He also showed example floor plans of the units. He
discussed parking, sidewalks, front and rear yards, landscaping and
drainage on the project. Kelly Elmore stated he is concerned given
the location and the density request, will crime and home values
become an issue. Mr. Wheeler stated that he feels there is a
difference in behavior of renters of high density apartments and
homeowners. He then discussed all of the requirements the
prospective homeowners must comply with before being given the
privilege of home ownership with Beaches Habitat. Mr. Elmore
then asked how the development is handling stormwater. Mr.
Wheeler pointed out that most of it will drain under the park to a
underground system created with the existing concrete that is on-
site and the rest is already currently flowing to Mayport Road.
Habitat will work with FOOT concerning the drainage issues.
The first public speaker was Matthew Chimumento, 632 Main
Street, stated he is very glad to see something going into the
"bombed out" shelter. His concerns were regarding how many
more of these type homes or developments are going to be coming
up in Atlantic Beach? Is Atlantic Beach going to become totally
focused on Beaches Habitat homes? He was also concerned about
the lack of storage with no garages and having the front and rear
porches start serving as garages with outside storage. The second
public speaker was Mike Whalen, business owner on Mayport
Road. Mr. Whalen stated he thinks this is the wrong location for
this project. Is Atlantic Beach going to become the "poster boy"
for Beaches Habitat. He thinks this is too many low income people
in one project and that this will turn back into what the Palms
turned into and that it will close businesses on Mayport Road.
Kirk Hanson had questions regarding if they grant the variances for
this SPA do they have to do the same for all future SPA's. The
board decided they are decided on a case by case basis. Brea Paul
was concerned about the park being turned into a retention pond
for drainage. Mr. Hubsch stated that then that change would have
to come before the board again.
Sylvia Simmons made motion to approve SPA-13-00100075 and it

was seconded by Harley Parkes. It was unanimously approved 6-0.
6. REPORTS.
A. Through Lots. Michael Griffin stated that this item is to request a
recommendation from the Community Development Board to the City
Commission to repeal Section 24-84. (c) The Land Development Code which
relates to double frontage lots which requires new structures built in between
Beach Avenue and Ocean Blvd. to actually front onto Ocean Blvd. Currently
there are only 4 lots with Ocean Blvd addresses and 10 lots addressed on Beach
Avenue, and 3 vacant lots with no address. Sylvia Simmons is concerned about
letting homeowners place 6ft tall fences right along Ocean Blvd. Mr. Parkes
stated that the economic value of having a Beach Ave. address is not arguable.
Kelly Elmore made a motion to amend the code to allow through lots between
Beach Ave. to Ocean Blvd. to front on Beach Ave. Mr. Stratton seconded the
motion. The motion was unanimously approved 6-0.
B. Tree Ordinance. Michael Griffin stated that the Tree Ordinance is not up for
discussion for this evening. Mr. Griffin stated this is just a heads up that this will
be coming up in the December meeting. Mr. Elmore stated he will be missing
the December 17th meeting. Brea Paul stated that Jason Burgess will not be
staying on the board and the new board member will be Linda Lanier.
