This request will alter this section of the corridor very little as most of the existing business were either grand fathered in or have gone through the use by exception process already, approximately 8 out of 10. It's evident that the City of Atlantic Beach has already identified the need for a change through the Future Land Use Map A-1 2010-2020 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Map Series which currently exists on the city's website. This was amended March 22, 2010 via ordinance no, 31-10- 09 (find attached), In this map the area in question is simply stated as Co mercial, Section H is adopting the same principal as designated here, Mayport Corridor business association Section H Permitted Use: The permitted uses shall include, but are not limited to the foUowing: manufacturing, warehousing, otOn3ge, container service, contractor services, sheet metal fabrication and welding, retail operations and wholesale operations.

As it has been conveyed previousty with the current commission, it's main function is to serve its people and help its citizens conduct their business within the Atlantic Beach area. Mayport Road has historically been and continues to be the backbone of the service business and commercial industry of Atlantic Beach. We are asking for your help with our business district, instead of running them out. Over a 5year period statistics prove 95 out of 100 small business will fail. The support of our commission is critical to give every business within Section H the ability to succeed while having the opportunity to have their business in Atlantic Beach. It is definitely a win for all involved. Business owners want to feel wanted and the city will earn nawenua. not only from that business but also from the customers it engages.
