675 Atlantic Blvd ZVL 03.08.2018 (Shoreline Property)March 8, 2018 Shoreline Property Management, Inc. Mer Kooba 675 Atlantic Boulevard Atlantic Beach, FL 32233 Re: State Verification of Car Sales at 675 Atlantic Boulevard City of Atlantic Beach Community Development Dept. 800 Seminole Road Atlantic Beach, Florida 32233 Telephone (904) 247-5826 http://www.coab.us Mr. Kooba, In response to your request for a letter verifying that internet car sales are a permitted use at 675 Atlantic Boulevard for your state dealer's license, we have drafted the following. This property is located within the Commercial General (CG) zoning district. Section 24- 111(c)(10) identifies automotive sales as a use -by -exception in the CG zoning district. A use -by - exception is an approval granted by the City Commission after a public hearing process. A use - by -exception allowing automotive sales has not been approved for this location. However, the nature of internet based car sales can be very different than typical car dealerships and require nothing more than an office to work out o£ As a result, an internet car sales operation that does not display or otherwise keep cars that are for sale on site can be considered as a business or professional office identified in Section 24-111(b)(5). Business or professional offices are a permitted use and approval is granted administratively. Based on your described business plan, we can verify that an internet based car dealer is a permitted use at this location as a business or professional office, with the understanding that no cars that are for sale can be displayed or otherwise kept on site. Please feel free to contact me at (904) 247-5841 or dreeves(a�coab.us if you have any questions. Sincerely, Derek W. Reeves Planner
