1.TOPIC
A.Comprehensive Plan Update
CM Corbin addressed the Commission and briefly reported on changes made to the
Comprehensive Plan. He introduced Planning and Community Development Director
(PCDD) Amanda Askew to detail updates and proposed changes to the plan.
PCDD Askew explained that the Comprehensive Plan is a guiding, long range
instrument for future growth in COAB. The City has taken first steps and presented the
plan and changes to the Community Development Board (CDB); the CDB suggested
further public input. PCDD Askew presented a slide show that outlined the purposed
changes, reasons for the purposed changes and long-range goals. The presentation
slides and the staff report are included in the agenda packet; PCDD Askew discussed
the following:
St. John's Water Management District Supply Plan; comprehensive plan for the
water supply

Agenda Item #1.C.
13 Apr 2020
Page 11 of 97
Commission Workshop
February 10, 2020
Bonus Density for Affordable Housing for the Marsh Oaks Business District
Transportation Element
Safer Alternative Transportation Options
Mayor Glasser requested more information regarding the floor area ratio.
PCDD Askew defined the floor area ratio as the gross square footage of the building
divided by the gross square footage of the property. She gave examples of how the
floor ratio would change by the number of stories a dwelling had and explained that
this would encourage redevelopment and high intensity reuse of a property.
Kirk Hansen, CDB Chairman, expressed concerns about floor to area ratios,
affordable housing, increased density, traffic congestion, and safety issues. He
requested additional public input.
CM Corbin suggested community workshops as a way to gather additional input from
the public.
Commissioner Waters questioned the mechanism to prevent large warehouse type
buildings and requirements for storm water retention.
PCDD Askew explained that the central business district has relaxed setbacks to
encourage community engagement. COAB code language could be amended to include
architectural features to deter warehouse type buildings. Land development regulations
could be written in the comprehensive plan to address architectural relief. Storm water
could either be stored above or below ground.
Commissioner Norris questioned if the floor to area ratio could be increased as an
incentive if the property were to provide additional upgrades.
PCDD Askew replied that increased incentives regarding floor to area ratio could be
incorporated in the COAB code language and supported as previously stated with
architectural relief code language.
Discussion ensured regarding:
How COAB Code control mechanisms could support increased density and
pedestrian safety.
Redevelopment of small parcels and mixed use redevelopment and floor to area
ratio requirements.
Bonus density and percent amount for affordable housing.
Proposed time limits for affordable housing incentives based on a specific
number of years.
Incentives managed through deed restrictions.
Family and income level information, included in the agenda packet, based on a
family of four.
Traffic congestion on Mayport Road resulting from bonus density.
Agenda Item #1.C.
13 Apr 2020
Page 12 of 97
Commission Workshop
February 10, 2020
Mayor Glasser discussed the need for affordable housing stating the Beaches Action
Team will host a University of Florida speaker to address the housing needs of the
beaches and she invited anyone interested to attend. She suggested inviting a speaker to
educate the Commission on housing related needs at the beach.
Commissioner Norris echoed support for inviting a speaker to address the Commission
highlighting the housing needs at the beaches. She offered supporting data from the
Cathedral Arts Project, Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) and Beaches
Action Team to CM Corbin regarding the need for affordable housing at the beach.
Commissioner Waters attested to how COAB businesses are affected by the lack of
affordable housing for staff.
Kirk Hansen expressed concern for an increasing percentage ratio of
affordable housing in regards to increased congestion.
Discussion ensued stating that the area for Affordable Bonus Density is currently
limited to the area on the map presentation displayed by PCDD Askew and attached in
the agenda. The percentage of units set aside for very low, low, and moderate income is
still under consideration. CM Corbin proposed a time frame of six weeks for open
dialogue and reflection on best practices regarding proposed changes.
2.PUBLIC COMMENT
Rich Trendel, Atlantic Beach resident and real estate developer, addressed the
Commission and gave his perspective regarding bonus density affordable housing. He
stated it was a financial challenge to offer comparable housing at an affordable rate on
Mayport Road. He stated that in order to lower the financial risk to developers there
would have to be an increase in the number of units. He offered knowledge recounting
that other cities similar in size to Jacksonville incorporate a number of smaller studio
options at the affordable rate. He stated that parking requirements and restrictions
could deter developers.
CM Corbin invited Mr. Trendel to work with the City regarding affordable housing incentives.
Mr. Trendel accepted CM Corbin's offer.

Attachment A. Education Forum Presentation
2 PUBLIC COMMENT
Mayor Glasser opened the discussion for public comment.
• Nancy Staats inquired how citizens can voice concerns regarding the Sales Tax
Referendum and the option to decide whether to convert the office of the Superintendent
of Schools to an elected position; Local Bill J-1.
Ms. Andersen encouraged citizens to contact District 2 City Councilman Diamond to voice
concerns regarding current legislation. Ms. Andersen stated Councilman Diamond has been
very supportive with providing assistance on items that do not fall under the jurisdiction of the
DCPS Board including signage, sidewalks and lights.
• Nancy Staats asked Ms. Andersen for her comments regarding lock down and active
shooter drills and DCPS policy regarding arming teachers.
Ms. Andersen stated legislation for the drills originated from the 2018 Marjory Stoneman
Douglas High School Public Safety Act. Schools are now required by law to perform mandatory
monthly lock down drills. The School Board continues to work with Chief Edwards and Duval
County Public School Police watching legislation that may reduce the number of monthly drills
and whether the drills can be announced prior to execution. Ms. Andersen's goal is to reduce
trauma while creating a learning experience for students within the confines of the law. DCPS
Board elected not to arm teachers and to ensure school safety through Safety Assistants working
together with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
• Bob Rutter inquired if the School Board would address name changes to schools named
after Confederate Generals.

Miscellaneous Public Meeting
February 11, 2020
Ms. Andersen stated that current DCPS Board policy states schools are not to be named after
individuals. DCPS policy requires specific procedures for renaming a school. Mayport Middle
School recently went through the process and was renamed Mayport Coastal Sciences Middle
School. Ms. Andersen stated she could not initiate the renaming process; however, she would
support the school community with their school renaming decision.
• Michael Hoffmann commended Ms. Andersen for doing a great job. He supports
teacher/staff pay increases and is in favor of prior notice of code red drills. He voiced
concerns about the amount of money going to school vouchers.
Ms. Andersen voiced her own concerns regarding the school voucher program including:
• Expansion of Charter schools diverting money from traditional public schools.
• Conflicts with equity, accountability measures and standards.
• Tim Cheney expressed his concern regarding the "temporarily postponed" status of
Senate Bill 62 identified on Senate Tracker.
Ms. Andersen stated that SB 62 had been postponed due to weather delays and has been
rescheduled. Contact Senators Bean and/or Gibson on the Appropriations Committee with
concerns. Ms. Andersen was optimistic based on revenue projections that all DCPS projects for
school improvements could be accomplished.
• Tim Miller voiced concerns regarding the lack of visibility of the Sales Tax Referendum
and the impact that it could pose with the forward momentum of the bill.
Discussion ensued about the role of DCPS acquiring legal counsel in regards to the Sales Tax
Referendum. Ms. Andersen is hopeful and stated that Mayor Curry has voiced support for DCPS
Board and the Sales Tax Referendum.
• Tim Cheney stated that J. Allen Axson School PTA was informed all blinds remain
closed on all windows and he questioned if this policy was consistent in all DCPS
schools.
Ms. Andersen stated that safety directives come from Chief Edwards. The blinds remain closed
to prevent and/or limit visibility into the classrooms. The goal is to deter access for a perpetrator
consequently translating into lives saved. In a school walk-through with a fire official, certain
windows were identified as points of access and/or visibility and those windows are to have
blinds closed at all times.
Mayor Glasser asked for an explanation of DCPS Threat Assessment Teams.
DCPS Ms. Taylor replied that Threat Assessment Teams are mandated as a result of the Marjory
Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act and implemented in all DCPS school. The
goal of the team includes:
• Teams are comprised of an administrator, a teacher, a law enforcement officer, and a
mental health professional or school counselor.

• Teams are required to meet at least once a month to review and identify resources for
students who threaten to harm themselves, others, the school and/or community.
• Take action when a student threatens to harm himself/herself or others at school level.
• Contact the Crisis Rapid Response Team when a student threatens to harm
himself/herself and refer student for interventions/resources.
• Contact the School Resource Officer/JSO when a student threatens someone other than
himself/herself.
Commissioner Anderson requested clarification regarding the protocol of locking the gates on
school campuses.
Scott Schneider, DCPS Region Superintendent, responded that each school’s safety needs are
addressed individually including the locking of gates and how those safety procedures contribute
to traffic congestion. Mayor Glasser informed the group that the Beaches communities/schools
work together and share resources to best serve all children.
A lengthy discussion ensued about:
• Increase in the number of students who are car riders contributing to traffic concerns.
• School safety is a priority.
• Sidewalk refurbishing between Mayport Elementary and Mayport Middle schools.
• Mayport Coastal Science Middle School "School Zone” signage slated for installation
Summer 2020.
Discussion continued regarding the amount of time spent on safety procedures which must be
attended to daily. Safety drills can take up to two hours to document. Any student who brings a
gun to campus is not allowed to return to campus for at least a full school year depending on the
infraction, by law. Expelled students are offered alternative support both educationally and
emotionally. A comprehensive plan is developed regarding how to best support expelled
students with a successful transition back to the traditional setting.
Mayor Glasser thanked everyone for attending the Educational Forum.

Community Director Amanda Askew who gave a slide presentation, included in the
agenda packet, and discussed the following:
Historic background regarding sign code regulations.

pertain to those signs visible from the street.

There was CONSENSUS for staff to proceed by lowering the number of proposed
signs per property and clarification regarding small signs.
CA Durden spoke about the importance of incorporating the "whereas clause" into the
new sign code. Sign code law experts state that the use of the "whereas clause”,
demonstrates the City's intent to remain content neutral and comply with federal law.
State statue regulates and defines obscene content and would supersede local City
code.

A. Future Land Use Element Goals, Objectives, and Policies
Future land use, new development and redevelopment within the City of Atlantic Beach shall be in
accordance with the following Goals, Objectives, and Policies and as further controlled by the Land
Development Regulations, as may be amended to implement the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of this
Comprehensive Plan. Development areas shall be defined by the land use categories described within the
Future Land Use Element and as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, included in this Plan amendment
as Map A‐1 of the Future Land Use Map Series.
Pursuant to Section 163.3194(1), Florida Statutes, as may be amended, all Development undertaken, and
all actions taken in regard to Development, shall be consistent with this Comprehensive Plan. Further, all
Land Development Regulations enacted or amended shall be consistent with the adopted Comprehensive
Plan, and in the event of inconsistency between the requirements of any zoning or Land Development
Regulations, the provisions of this Comprehensive Plan shall prevail.
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, 3) preserves and enhances coastal, environmental, natural, historic and
cultural resources, 4) maintains the City’s distinct residential community character, 5) provides for
reasonable public safety and security from hazardous conditions associated with coastal locations, 6)
that provides public services and facilities in a timely and cost effective manner, and 7) that encourages
energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy resources.
Objective A.1.1
Environmental Resources
Land development activities and project review procedures shall include requirements intended to protect
natural environmental features and improve the physical characteristics of the City so as to ensure the
conservation and protection of Environmentally Sensitive Areas, as defined by Policy D.3.2.8 of the Coastal
Conservation Element and any other natural resources including wetlands, wildlife habitats, estuarine
systems, and surface and groundwater resources.
Policy A.1.1.1
Land development within the City shall be permitted only where such development is
compatible with environmental limitations of the site and only when submitted plans
demonstrate appropriate recognition of topography, soil conditions, flooding conditions,
trees, vegetation and other Environmentally Sensitive Areas, including wetlands and
coastal resources, and habitat protection of rare, endangered or threatened species and
areas of unique natural beauty.

Policy A.1.1.3 The City shall protect potable water well fields and surface waters from the adverse impacts
of development and shall prohibit the establishment of incompatible land uses adjacent
to potable water wells. Such incompatible land uses shall include all Industrial and
manufacturing uses, but shall also include uses, which have the potential to contaminate
surface water or groundwater resources.
Objective A.1.2
Wetlands, Environmentally Sensitive Areas and Estuarine Environments
The City shall protect, conserve and enhance the natural functions of existing wetlands, marsh and
estuarine systems, and other Environmentally Sensitive Areas in order to maintain the quality and function
of natural systems and wildlife habitats.
Note: The terms “wetlands” or interchangeably “natural wetlands” as used within this Plan shall mean
those wetland areas which have been created through natural means or through restoration or wetland
creation projects of government agencies having authority over these resources, and shall not be
construed to include stormwater ponds, or other manmade drainage facilities, which may be designated
as jurisdictional for the purpose of stormwater management, but which are not natural Wetlands.
Policy A.1.2.1 The City shall protect natural wetlands and other Environmentally Sensitive Areas, as may
be identified by Map A‐2 and Map A‐4 of the Future Land Use Map Series or as may be
identified by other accepted environmental survey methodologies, and their functions
from the adverse impacts of development by maintaining the following required upland
buffers between wetlands and adjacent development as set forth herein and as also
implemented through the Land Development Regulations.
(a) After the effective date of this plan amendment, a minimum natural vegetative
upland buffer of fifty (50) feet shall be required and maintained between developed
areas and the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) regardless of any other regulatory agency
requirement of a lesser distance. This requirement shall also apply to the portions of
tributaries, streams, or other water bodies connected to the Intracoastal Waterway.
Such portions of the ICW and these tributaries, streams, or oth er water bodies subject
to this buffer requirement shall be established by the presence of a Mean High Water
Line of the adjacent tributary, stream or other water body as established in
accordance with Section 177.26, Florida Statutes, and such Mean High Water Line
shall be depicted on all Site Plans, proposed development plans, and other documents
submitted for review and permitting. The fifty (50) foot upland buffer shall be
measured from the St. Johns River Water Management District or Florida Department
of Environmental Protection Wetland jurisdictional line.
Determinations of vested rights which may supersede the requirement for this 50foot
buffer shall be made on a case‐by‐case basis in accordance with the Land
Development Regulations and applicable Florida law.
(b) In the case of other natural wetland areas, which may not be directly connected to
Intracoastal related streams or waterways as described above, but are part of the
coastal marsh and estuarine system, a natural vegetative upland buffer of twenty‐five
Agenda Item #9.A.
13 Apr 2020

A ‐ 4
(25) feet shall be required and maintained between development and adjacent
wetlands. Where required, such buffer shall be measured from the jurisdictional
wetland line as established by the appropriate regulatory agency.
(c) With the exception of facilities to provide public access for the recreational use of
Intracoastal related natural resources, any buffers as may be required by preceding
paragraphs (a) or (b) shall be maintained in a natural state with the exception of the
clearing of Understory Vegetation as defined by Chapter 23 of the City’s Code of
Ordinances, and any such clearing shall be approved by the City and if required, the
appropriate State or Federal agency prior to any form of clearing, alteration or
disturbance of a required buffer.
(d) Where remaining natural wetlands have been damaged or degraded over time
through previous development, storm events, improper drainage runoff or other
adverse activities, but where wetland vegetation and habitat still are predominant in
quantity on a proposed development site, all plans submitted for review or permitting
shall demonstrate a plan for mitigation, restoration, enhancement or recovery of
jurisdictional wetlands. It is the express intent of the City that no net loss of
jurisdictional wetlands occur through any development action within the City. Any
impacted wetlands on a development site shall be replaced elsewhere on the same
site or elsewhere within the City of Atlantic Beach. The City shall incorporate
appropriation provisions within the Land Development Regulations to further
implement this policy.
Policy A.1.2.2 The City shall protect wetlands and estuarine environments from the adverse impacts of
development and shall prohibit the establishment of incompatible land uses adjacent to
wetlands. Such incompatible land uses shall include all Industrial uses, but shall also
include uses, which have the potential to disturb, contaminate or degrade wetland
functions or natural systems associated with wetlands and estuaries.
Policy A.1.2.3 The City shall require that, as a condition of development approval, new construction
projects provide effective stormwater management, which avoids the contamination of
Environmentally Sensitive Areas, wetlands, marsh and estuarine environments in
accordance with applicable water quality standards of the St. Johns River Water
Management District, the City’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems
(NPDES) permit and Stormwater Management Plan and the Land Development
Regulations, as may be amended.
Policy A.1.2.4 The City shall not issue development permits that would significantly alter wetland
communities and functions.
Policy A.1.2.5 New development shall be subject to the stormwater regulations as set forth within the
Land Development Regulations, and post development conditions shall not discharge any
increased level of stormwater run‐off into the City’s stormwater system.

Regulations.
Policy A.1.10.5 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 such as banks,
drugstores, restaurants, churches, child care centers, grocery stores and similar
businesses and uses.
Objective A.1.11
Appropriate Land Use Patterns
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 2030 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.
Policy A.1.11.1 The lands use categories, as depicted upon the 2030 Future Land Use Map (FLUM), which
is Map A‐1 of the Future Land Use Map Series, shall permit the following uses and
activities.
(a) Conservation – Conservation lands shall include those lands so designated on the
FLUM. These areas are generally composed of open land, water, marsh and wetlands
and Environmentally Sensitive Areas. Conservation lands may be either publicly or
privately owned. It is intended that the natural and open character of these areas be
retained and that adverse impacts, which may result from development, shall be
prohibited or minimized. Adverse impacts shall be presumed to result from activities,
which contaminate or degrade wetlands and Environmentally Sensitive Areas, or
natural functions and systems associated with such areas.
Permitted uses within the Conservation category shall be limited to the following and
shall be further controlled by the Land Development Regulations.
• Activities intended for the conservation, re‐establishment and re‐nourishment,
or protection of natural resources.
• Recreation uses and facilities that are customarily described as passive in nature
including, but not limited to, fishing, hiking and biking, canoeing, kayaking, and
the use of other similar small, quiet low‐speed watercraft.
• Very low intensity outdoor or water‐dependent recreational related uses
(excluding commercial marinas) that are determined not to be in conflict with the
Agenda Item #9.A.
13 Apr 2020
Page 55 of 97
2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
A ‐ 12
intent of the Conservation category, subject to applicable Federal, State and local
policies and permitting requirements.
(b) Commercial – The Commercial land use category is intended to provide appropriate
locations for neighborhood and community businesses providing services and retail
sales for the City and the closely surrounding communities. Government, civic,
religious, cultural and institutional uses, may also be located within this category.
Permitted uses within the Commercial category, along with uses that may be allowed
by special exception, shall be limited to the following and as more specifically
described within the Land Development Regulations and when located within the
respective Zoning District classifications, which are intended to provide a decreasing
level of use intensity due to proximity to residential uses.
• General Commercial. These areas shall include those businesses that provide
retail goods and services, which serve the routine and daily needs of residents,
including banks and professional services, grocery and convenience stores,
restaurants, accredited public and private schools and child care, but not
including manufacturing, warehousing, storage or high intensity commercial
activities of a regional nature, or uses that have the potential for negative impact
to surrounding properties due to excessive noise, light or extremely late hours of
operation. Residential uses, not exceeding the Medium Density category shall
also be permitted, when in conjunction with, or adjacent to commercial
development and redevelopment, provided that such residential development
shall not be permitted within the Coastal High Hazard Area.
• Limited Commercial. These areas shall include low intensity office, service and
retail businesses that are compatible when located in close proximity to
neighborhoods. These uses are intended primarily to serve the needs of the
closely surrounding neighborhood. Large‐scale discount super‐centers or
“BigBox” retailers or similar intense commercial uses intended to serve a regional
market are not permitted within the Limited Commercial category.
• Professional and Office. These areas shall be limited to small neighborhood scale
businesses and professional offices that are compatible with, and have no
measurable or noticeable adverse impacts, upon surrounding residential uses.
Such uses include offices for doctors and dentists (but not clinics or hospitals),
accountants, architects, attorneys, engineers, land surveyors, real estate brokers,
financial planners, insurance and real estate agents and the like.
(c) Central Business District – This area contains a well‐established pattern and character
of development, and permitted uses include retail, office, restaurant, and certain
entertainment uses, which contribute to the commercial, civic and cultural vitality of
the City as illustrated within the Atlantic Beach Town Center area. The Central
Business District is an economic, cultural, historic and architectural anchor of the City.
In order to sustain these qualities, new development and redevelopment within the
Central Business District shall be reflective of the architectural styles and fabric of the
area. Consistency and compatibility with the existing built environment shall be

considered in the review and issuance of Development Permits within the Central
Business District.
(d) Saltair Business District ‐ This general area was originally developed by the Saltair
Development Corporation in 1925. Today this area reflects a mixed development
pattern that transitions between the historic Town Center and suburban retail to the
west along Atlantic Boulevard with Sturdivant Avenue to the north. The land use
category was created to allow the Town Center to expand incrementally towards
Sailfish Drive without creating conflicts with properties zoned Commercial General.
Residential uses, not exceeding the Medium Density category shall also be permitted,
when in conjunction with, or adjacent to commercial development and
redevelopment, provided that such residential development shall not be permitted
within the Coastal High Hazard Area. The following zoning districts are consistent with
the Saltair Business District land use category and the uses within this category shall
be limited to the following and as more specifically described within the Land
Development Regulations and when located within the respective zoning district:
• Central Business District – This area contains a well‐established pattern and
character of development, and permitted uses include retail, office, restaurant,
and certain entertainment uses, which contribute to the commercial, civic and
cultural vitality of the City as illustrated within the Atlantic Beach Town Center
area. The Central Business District is an economic, cultural, historic and
architectural anchor of the City. In order to sustain these qualities, new
development and redevelopment within the Central Business District shall be
reflective of the architectural styles and fabric of the area. Consistency and
compatibility with the existing built environment shall be considered in the
review and issuance of Development Permits within the Central Business District.
• General Commercial. These areas shall include those businesses that provide
retail goods and services, which serve the routine and daily needs of residents,
including banks and professional services, grocery and convenience stores,
restaurants, accredited public and private schools and child care, but not
including manufacturing, warehousing, storage or high intensity commercial
activities of a regional nature, or uses that have the potential for negative impact
to surrounding properties due to excessive noise, light or extremely late hours of
operation.
(e) Marsh Oaks Business District ‐ This area was identified during the 2018 Mayport Road
Visioning Implementation Plan for pedestrian friendly redevelopment. The land use

within this land use category shall be limited to the following and as more specifically
described within the Land Development Regulations and when located within the
respective zoning district.
• General Commercial. These areas shall include those businesses that provide
retail goods and services, which serve the routine and daily needs of residents,
including banks and professional services, grocery and convenience stores,
restaurants, accredited public and private schools and child care, but not
including manufacturing, warehousing, storage or high intensity commercial
activities of a regional nature, or uses that have the potential for negative impact
to surrounding properties due to excessive noise, light or extremely late hours of
operation.
• Limited Commercial. These areas shall include low intensity office, service and re tail
businesses that are compatible when located in close proximity to
neighborhoods. These uses are intended primarily to serve the needs of the
closely surrounding neighborhood. Large‐scale discount super‐centers or
“BigBox” retailers or similar intense commercial uses intended to serve a regional
market are not permitted within the Limited Commercial category.
Traditional Marketplace – This area contains development standards similar to the
Central Business District with an expanded range of permitted uses more
consistent with General Commercial. The permitted uses include a mixture of
residential, retail, office, restaurant, and certain entertainment uses, which
contribute to the commercial, civic and cultural vitality of the City. New
development, including without limitation redevelopment, within this area shall
reflect urban design principles that promote bicycle and pedestrian activity such
as minimal building setbacks which allow buildings to be closer to streets and
adjacent property lines.
(f) Light Industrial – The Light Industrial category shall be limited to light manufacturing
and production, storage, warehousing and distribution uses as further controlled by
the Land Development Regulations. Light industrial uses may have outdoor storage
and business related activity, but such uses shall not include processes that create
negative effects to surrounding properties due to noise, heat, fumes, debris,
chemicals or hazardous materials.
(g) Public and Semi‐Public – These areas include uses such as accredited public and
private schools, government uses, buildings, structures, utilities and public services
and infrastructure, including police, fire and emergency services.
(h) Recreation and Open Space – These areas include public and private parks, open
space, passive and active recreation areas. Note: Some park and open space lands
may be more appropriately designated as Conservation, such as the public lands on
the western marsh front. All beach areas that are seaward of private property lines
shall be considered as Recreation. Permitted uses shall include active and passive
recreation activities including bikeways and pedestrian trails, skateboard parks, ball

Objective A.1.15
Military Compatibility and Coordination with Naval Station Mayport
The Florida Legislature finds that incompatible development of land close to military installations can
adversely affect the ability of such an installation to carry out its mission; that such development also
threatens the public safety because of possibility of accidents occurring within the areas surrounding the
military installation; that the economic vitality of a community is affected when military operations and
missions must relocate because of incompatible urban encroachment; and that it is desirable for local
governments to cooperate with military installations to encourage compatible land use, help prevent
incompatible encroachment, and facilitate the continued presence of major military installations. The City
of Atlantic Beach, as a municipality in close proximity and with strong cultural and economic ties to Naval
Station Mayport, shall cooperate with the military installation, shall coordinate on land use decisions that
may affect the mission of the military installation, and shall support development practices that are
compatible with the land uses of the military installation.
Policy A.1.15.1 The City of Atlantic Beach shall transmit to the Commanding Officer, Naval Station
Mayport, or his or her designee, information relating to proposed changes to the
Comprehensive Plan, and proposed changes to the Land Development Regulations,
which, if approved, would affect the intensity, density, or use of land in close proximity to
the military installation. At the request of the Commanding Officer, the City of Atlantic
Beach shall also transmit copies of applications for development orders requesting a
variance or waiver from height or lighting restrictions or noise attenuation reduction
requirements within areas defined as being in a zone of influence of the military
installation, as defined in Map A‐6, Military Influence Zone, of the 2030 Comprehensive
Plan Map Series. The Commanding Officer shall be afforded adequate opportunity to
review and comment on the proposed changes prior to final action.
Policy A.1.15.2 The Commanding Officer, Naval Station Mayport, or his or her designee, may provide
advisory comments to the City of Atlantic Beach on the impact of such proposed changes
may have on the mission of the military installation. Such advisory comments shall be
based on appropriate data and analysis provided with the comments and may include:
(a) Whether such proposed changes will be compatible with the safety and noise
standards contained in the Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) adopted by
Naval Station Mayport for the on‐premise airfield; and
(b) Whether the military installation’s mission will be adversely affected by the proposed
actions of the City of Atlantic Beach.
The Commanding Officer’s comments, underlying studies, and reports shall be considered
by the City of Atlantic Beach in the same manner as the comments received from other
reviewing agencies pursuant to Section 163.3184, Florida Statutes.

Policy A.1.15.3 The City of Atlantic Beach shall take into consideration any comments and accompanying
data and analysis provided by the Commanding Officer or his or her designee, as they
relate to the strategic mission of the base, public safety, and the economic vitality
associated with the base’s operations, while also respecting private property rights and
not being unduly restrictive on those rights. To this end, the City shall promote
development strategies that discourage incompatibility and provide alternative means to
preserve development rights, including the following:
(a) In instances where these policies result in limitations on the ability of the landowner
to utilize their land pursuant to its current land use and zoning designation, the City
shall support land use map amendments and rezoning to compatible uses.
(b) In instances where nonresidential uses that are consistent with current land use and
zoning designation, but incompatible with military influence zones, are discontinued
for a period of twelve consecutive months or more, the City shall not allow those
nonresidential uses to be restarted under the Land Development Regulations.
(c) In instances where land within the Military Influence Zone is proposed for
development, the City shall require techniques such as Planned Unit Development or
Special Planned Area zoning to cluster development away from accident potential
zones.
The City shall forward a copy of any comments regarding Comprehensive Plan
amendments to the state planning agency.
Policy A.1.15.4 The City of Atlantic Beach, in order to facilitate the exchange of information and foster
close coordination and communication, shall maintain a representative appointed by the
Commanding Officer, Naval Station Mayport, as an ex officio, nonvoting member of the
City’s local planning agency. The designated military representative shall be notified of all
meetings and provided copies of all agenda packets.
Policy A.1.15.5 The City of Atlantic Beach shall coordinate grant writing and management efforts with
Naval Station Mayport, and the Commanding Officer is encouraged to provide
information about any community planning assistance grants that may be available to the
City through programs such as those of the Federal Office of Economic Adjustment as
incentive to participate in a joint planning process that would further facilitate the
compatibility of community planning and the activities and mission of Naval Station
Mayport.

B. Transportation Element
Introduction
This Transportation Element has been prepared to meet the requirements of Chapter 163, Florida
Statutes. The 1990 Plan contained only a Traffic Circulation Element; however, Section 163.3177(6)(j),
Florida Statutes was amended in 1994 to require each unit of local government within an urbanized area
to adopt a Transportation Element in lieu of the more limited Traffic Circulation Element. The
Transportation Element addresses traffic circulation; alternative modes of travel; parking; hurricane
evacuation capacity; land use densities to support public transportation and energy efficient strategies
for reducing greenhouse gases. Existing and planned Transportation Facilities are identified within Map
B‐1 of the Future Land Use Map Series.
This Transportation Element provides an analysis of transportation and mobility issues within the City of
Atlantic Beach. A planning timeframe of twenty years is incorporated into the analysis of future
conditions. Traffic data from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Jacksonville
Transportation Authority (JTA) and the City’s Department of Public Works has been compiled into this
element.
Level of Service Standards and Criteria
Level of Service (LOS) is a method of describing the operating conditions of a roadway for various traffic
volumes. It is a qualitative measure of the effect of a number of factors including speed and travel time,
traffic interruptions, freedom to maneuver safely, driving comfort, convenience, and operating costs.
Measurement criteria to establish traffic circulation efficiency goals are often expressed in terms of
average speed for arterial streets and highways. Because of the difficulty in measuring actual average
speeds, traffic flow or Level of Service (LOS) comparison is used to show a measure of efficiency along the
roadway. Levels of service represents a range of operational conditions, not a precise number or volume.
The following are general descriptions of the six Levels of Service as established by the Transportation
Research Board, 1997.
LOS A – This is a condition of free flow, accompanied by low volumes and high speeds. Traffic
density is low, with uninterrupted flow speeds controlled by driver desires, speed limits, and
physical roadway conditions. Little or no restriction in maneuverability due to the presence of
other vehicles enables drivers to maintain their desired speeds and arrive at their destinations
with little or no delay.
LOS B – This is a condition of stable flow, with operating speeds somewhat restricted by traffic
conditions. Drivers still have reasonable freedom to select their speed and lane of operation.
Reductions in speed are not unreasonable, with a low probability of traffic flow being restricted.
The lower limit (lowest speed, highest volume) of this Level of Service has been used in the design
of highways.
LOS C – This is still a stable flow, but speeds and maneuverability are more closely controlled by
the higher volumes. Most drivers are restricted in their freedom to select their own speed,
change lanes or pass. A relatively satisfactory operating speed is still obtained, with service
volumes suitable for urban design practice.
Agenda Item #9.A.
13 Apr 2020
Page 70 of 97
B ‐ 9
2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
LOS D – This Level of Service approaches unstable flow, with tolerable operating speeds being
maintained, though considerably affected by changes in operating conditions. Fluctuations in
volume and temporary restrictions to flow may cause substantial drops in operating speeds.
Drivers have little freedom to maneuver, and comfort and convenience are low. These conditions
can be tolerated, however, for short periods of time.
LOS E – This Level of Service cannot be described by speed alone, but represents operations at
low operating speeds, typically, but not always, in the neighborhood of 30 miles per hour, with
volumes at or near the capacity of the highway. Flow is unstable, and there may be stoppages of
momentary duration. This Level of Service is associated with operation of a roadway at capacity
flow.
LOS F – This describes a forced‐flow operation at low speeds, where volumes are well above
capacity. In the extreme, traffic comes to a standstill. These conditions usually result from vehicles
backing up from a restriction. The section under study will be serving as a storage area during
parts or all of the peak hour. Speeds are reduced substantially, and standstills may occur for short
or long periods of time because of the downstream congestion.
The most recent edition of the FDOT Level of Service Standards Handbook was used to estimate the
standards for determining acceptable and unacceptable operating conditions for roadways within the City
of Atlantic Beach. The FDOT Handbook incorporates standardized service volumes for each of the LOS
designations listed above. The Handbook is a tool to provide for a general overview of the operating
conditions of the roadway segments. More refined methods can be used during concurrency review for
those segments where a more detailed traffic engineering analysis is critical for determining whether
there exists adequate roadway capacity.
The FDOT Handbook determines service volumes based on a number of standardized factors. These
factors include; 1) area type; 2) roadway functional classification; 3) number of lanes; 4) median type; and
5) number of signals per mile.
The FDOT Handbook sets the minimum Level of Service standards for roadways on the State Highway
System. The LOS standards for an urbanized area of over 500,000 apply to roadways within Atlantic Beach,
in that the City of Atlantic Beach is part of the Jacksonville Urbanized Area. The FDOT standard for all
roadways in such an urbanized area is LOS D. However, pursuant to S. 163.3180(10), Florida Statutes, a
local government may adopt alternative LOS standards for any State roadway that is not on the Florida
Intrastate Highway System (FIHS). None of the roadways within the City of Atlantic Beach are on the FIHS;
therefore, LOS standards lower than those adopted by FDOT may be adopted.
Existing Operating Conditions
Roadways – An inventory of the existing transportation network within the City of Atlantic Beach was
undertaken to determine the type of transportation systems available, functional classification of
roadways, number of through lanes, corresponding capacities and daily volumes.
Atlantic Boulevard (State Road 10) is one of three major roadway corridors from I‐95 to the County’s
beaches. It is also the most heavily traveled of the three corridors, primarily because it is the most direct
route from the communities of Jacksonville to the Mayport Naval Station. The Navy base is one of the
largest employers within the County. Within the City, Atlantic Boulevard is a divided six‐lane arterial
roadway with several signalized intersections. A construction p roject was completed in 2002 that widened
Agenda Item #9.A.
13 Apr 2020
Page 71 of 97
B ‐ 9
2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
Atlantic Boulevard to six‐lanes over the Intracoastal Waterway. Commercial establishments are located
on both the north and south sides of Atlantic Boulevard, and much of the existing traffic results from
motorists entering and exiting driveways that serve these establishments.
Mayport Road extends from the southern limits of the City at Atlantic Boulevard to the northern limits of
the City near Assisi Lane. Mayport Road continues within the City of Jacksonville providing access to the
Mayport Naval Station and on to the north as State Road A1A. Numerous local public streets and
driveways intersect with Mayport Road on both sides of the roadway. These streets and driveways serve
mostly low to moderate density residential and strip‐type commercial developments. In March 2002, the
Mayport Flyover was completed and opened to traffic. The Mayport Flyover provides an interchange at
the intersection of the two most traveled roadways within the City of Atlantic Beach. Construction of the
Flyover alleviated a traffic problem identified in the 1990 Traffic Circulation Element. The intersection of
Atlantic Boulevard and Mayport Road was identified as operating at LOS F prior to completion of the
Mayport Flyover.
Seminole Road, Ocean Boulevard, Plaza, and Sherry Drive are urban collectors, which primarily serve the
residential areas north of Atlantic Boulevard, and east of Mayport Road. These are all two‐way, two‐lane
roadways and experience relatively low volumes with low accident rates.
The Wonderwood Connector, which was completed and open to traffic in 2007 provides an alternative
east‐west connection between the City of Atlantic Beach, Mayport Village, Naval Station Mayport and I‐
295.
Needs Assessment and Future Traffic Projections
There have been a number of traffic improvements within and surrounding the City of Atlantic Beach that
have addressed capacity issues on major roadways. The Mayport Flyover addressed the capacity problems
experienced at the intersection of Mayport Road and Atlantic Boulevard. The widening of Atlantic
Boulevard to six‐ lanes over the Intracoastal Waterway significantly increased capacity for the improved
segments of Atlantic Boulevard. Completion of the Wonderwood Connector has improved traffic patterns

Mass Transit
Transit service within the City of Atlantic Beach is provided by the Jacksonville Transportation Authority
(JTA). The JTA operates three routes through the City including two local routes with service 7 days a week
and one community shuttle with a fixed route and curbside service 6 days a week. Route 10 is a local route
operating along Atlantic Boulevard, connecting the South Beach area of Jacksonville Beach to downtown
Jacksonville. Route 24 is the other local route providing a loop between Mayport Village to the north of
the City and the Atlantic Village shopping center on Atlantic Boulevard. Route 303 is the community
shuttle and consists of a loop that connects the Atlantic Village shopping center on Atlantic Boulevard,
with the Mayo Clinic via Penmen Road and South Beach Parkway. The JTA is currently constructing a Bus
Rapid Transit route as part of their First Coast Flyer system that will connect Beach Boulevard in
Jacksonville Beach with Downtown Jacksonville. There is also express route 202 operating rush hour
service six days a week north of the City between Naval Station Mayport and the Regency area of
Jacksonville. The transit routes, which serve the City of Atlantic Beach, are part of a larger system of transit
routes that were redesigned as a result of JTA’s efforts to enhance service within eastern Duval County.
These routes have been successful in meeting the transit needs for the City of Atlantic Beach.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities
The City completed a bicycle and pedestrian pathway planning and public participation study in
collaboration with the City of Neptune Beach and the City of Jacksonville Beach in 2002. This collaboration
produced a general and conceptual plan for a system of bike and pedestrian routes to connect each of the
three beach Cities, and also provides for a better system of east‐west bikeway connections within each
City and to other existing or planned facilities. Based on the findings of the study a priority list of desired
routes was developed and the City of Atlantic Beach has adopted a phased development approach to
implement the interconnected multi‐use path system. The first phase of the City’s bikeway plan was in
completed in 2004. The plan was updated in early 2009, and development of future phases will continue
as budget resources permit with consideration to community desires.
Bike and pedestrian facilities continue to be a high priority to this community in order to provide for a
high level of recreational activity, energy efficiency and conservation and decreased reliance on vehicular
transportation. In 2018, construction began on a Safe Routes to School project along Sherry Drive and
Seminole Road identified in the bikeway plan. Once completed, the project will link approximately 1.4
miles of residential neighborhoods with an eight foot multiuse path.
