2345 Seminole Reach Court (Forsyth pool) 5Allison,
The “A” part of the ARG-2 is just the Property Appraiser’s Code to indicate that the property is in Atlantic Beach. The actual Zoning district designation is RG-2. The RG-2 is a single-family
or two-family/ multi family designation if the property is large enough for two-family or multi-family dwelling. Your lot is a legal nonconforming platted Lot of Record, and you can
remodel to any extent you wish, subject to meeting current zoning and building codes and any coastal construction codes. That “50%” provision would not apply to your lot.

Lot of Record shall mean:
a Lot that is part of a documented Subdivision, the map of which has been recorded in the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court.
Sec. 24-85. Nonconforming Lots, Uses and Structures.
(b) Nonconforming Lots of Record.
(1) Where a Lot or parcel of Land has a Lot Area or frontage that does not conform with the requirements of the Zoning District in which it is located, but was a legally established
and documented Lot of Record prior to the adoption of this Code or previous Codes and applicable City of Atlantic Beach ordinances, such Lot or parcel of Land may be used for one Single-family
Dwelling in any residential Zoning District, provided the minimum Yard requirements for that residential Zoning District are maintained, or provided that the owner of said Lot has obtained
a Variance from the Community Development Board, in accordance with the requirements of Section 24-64 of this Chapter.
(2) In any residential Zoning District, on a legally established and documented Nonconforming Lot of Record that existed prior to the initial effective date of these Land Development
Regulations, a Structure may be expanded or enlarged provided such expansion or enlargement complies with other provisions of this Chapter, including Yard Requirements or with the terms
of a valid Variance.

Sonya - According to the property appraiser, my property is zoned ARG-2. I searched the zoning code and can't find the specifications for this zoning code. I know my lot at 45 ft.
is accepted as conforming, if that's the correct terminology, but I'd like to know what I can do as far as some major remodeling of my house and considering the fact of the size of
my lot. I thought I read somewhere in the code about some issues if the remodeling is more than 50% of the original size of the house? Can you point me in the right direction?
