STAFF REPORT
WAIV21-0003 Public Hearing
Request for a waiver as permitted by Section 24-66 to waive the
provision of a minimum 100 -foot lot width as required by Section 24-
104 and to waive the minimum 75 -foot width at the building
restriction line (BRL) as required by Section 24-256 to allow the

SUBMITTED BY: Amanda Askew, Director of Planning and Community Development
TODAY'S DATE: October 13, 2021
MEETING DATE: October 18, 2021
BACKGROUND: The applicant Driver, McAfee,
Hawthorne & Diebenow, PLLC is representing the owners of 1•
1220 Selva Marina Circle. This property is located within the
Residential Single -Family, Large -Lot (RS -L) zoning district
and is within the Residential Low Density (RL) future land 1
use designation. The minimum lot size in the RS -L zoning 1:
district is 100 feet in width, 100 feet in depth, and 10,000
363
square feet in total lot area. All newly created lots are 1
required to meet these minimum size requirements.
1365
1385
1250
The property is currently one platted lot that is 27,622 square
feet in lot arca and was developed
with one single family home in 1955.
The applicant is requesting to divide
the property into two individual,
single-family lots. It currently has 114
feet of lot width at the front property
line and each proposed lot is
approximately 61 to 63 feet in lot
width at the platted Building
Restriction Line (BRL). The proposed
new lots would he 13,940 square feet
and 14,132 square feet in area, both
exceeding the 10,000 square foot
minimum lot area required. Similarly,
both proposed new lots would exceed
,
the minimum 100 foot depth
requiretnent. However, neither of the 11 -
proposed new lots would meet the

minimum 100 foot lot width required nor would the lots meet the minimum 75 foot width required at the
Building Restriction Line (BRL).
Per Section 24-17, minimum lot width is defined as "the mean horizontal distance between the side lot
lines, measured at right angles to its depth." I,ot depth is measured from the center point of the front and
rear lot lines. By calculating the mean of three equidistant horizontal measurements at right angles to the
lot depth, staff calculated each proposed lot to be roughly 70 feet in width. 'This is short of the minimum
100 foot width required.
In addition, Section 24-256 states "no residential lot created after the initial effective date of these land
development regulations shall have a width of less than seventy-five (75) feet at the building restriction
line". This property has a platted 35 foot building restriction line (BRL) across the front of the lot. At this
35 foot BRL, the width of each proposed lot would be about 60 feet. This is short of the minimum 75 foot
width required.
RESIDENTIAL, SINGLE-FAMILY, LARGE LOT (RS -L) ZONING DISTRICT
The RS -L zoning district was created in 2006. Prior to 2006, the minimum lot sizes required in this
neighborhood were 75 feet in width, 100 feet in depth, and 7,500 square feet in lot area. In 2004 and
2005, multiple larger lots were divided into several smaller lots which ultimately resulted in the city
creating the RS -L zoning district in 2006. The RS -L zoning district established larger minimum lot sizes
(10,000 st) than the previous zoning district (7,500 sf). The intent of the RS -L zoning district, per Section
24-104 is "for development of low density single-family residential uses in areas where traditional
established lot sizes are larger than those typically located throughout the City of Atlantic Beach."

Statement of Facts
Application for Land Development Regulations Waiver
1220 Selva Marina Circle
In 1955, Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Tassone ("the Senior Tassones") purchased an existing
home as their principal residence at 1220 Selva Marina Circle, Atlantic Beach, Florida 32233
(RE# 171915-0000) (the "Property"). The four Tassone children (the "Tassone Siblings") were
raised in the house until they left for college. The Senior Tassones continued to live in the home
until Mr. Tassone's death in 1994, and Mrs. Tassone's death in 2007, when the Property was
passed down to the Tassone Siblings. They are now seniors themselves and wish to split the
Property in half as part of a plan for it to be passed to their families. The two Tassone daughters
hope to acquire and relocate an existing house from around the corner at 315 12th Street onto one
of the two new lots, and one of the Tassone sons plans to purchase the interest of his brother in
the other lot and build a new home on it. The house which the sisters wish to move has a finished
area of approximately 4,830 square feet and the house which the brother would like to build
would have an expected finished area of 4,830 square feet.
The Property is a single family home on a .64 acre lot. The Property is located in the
Residential — Low Density (RL) land use category, and in the Residential, single-family — Large
lot (RS -L) zoning district. It sits on an elongated cul -dc -sac, and as such, is longer than it is
wide, and wider at the rear property line than at the road frontage. As detailed on the proposed
boundary survey filed herewith, the proposed lot split would result in a southern lot with 14,094
square feet in area, a minimum width of 56.50 feet at the road frontage, and a lot width of
approximately 71 feet, and a northern lot with 13,490 square feet, a minimum width of 57.50 feet
at the road frontage and a lot width of approximately 73 feet. Accordingly, each lot would have
more than the prescribed minimum area and depth, but would require a waiver of the required
width. Moreover, while compliance with the minimum width set forth in Section 24-104(d)(2) is
a practical impossibility due to the geometry of the Property, the subdivided lots will meet all
other criteria of Section 24-104 applicable to the RS -L district.
The Tassone Siblings' request to split their parents' lot is consistent with the transition
that has occurred in the immediately surrounding area over the last sixteen years. As the chart
and naps below illustrate, almost all of lots were either subdivided and/or the houses rebuilt
between 2004 and 2020. Specifically, of nine lots and houses that existed in 2004, only two (one
of which is the Property) remain substantially in their prior form. All other houses were either
demolished and rebuilt or significantly renovated or the lots subdivided as detailed in the chart
and graphics below:

The proposed development will not exceed the maximum density for the RL land use category
and furthers objectives of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan — Future Land Use Element. The
proposed waiver is consistent with the general purpose and intent of the City's 2030
Comprehensive Plan, will promote the objectives and policies of the City's 2030 Comprehensive
Plan, and specifically contributes to:
1. 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, 2) provides for the
preservation and protection of the dense tree canopy, and 3) which provides for varied and
diverse recreational opportunities, including the preservation, acquisition and development of
public access to the beach, Intracoastal Waterway and other water -related resources, and
which provides for and maintains energy efficient land use patterns.
2. Policy A.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.
Given the foregoing, imposing the strict letter of the Zoning Code on the Tassone Siblings would
be unreasonable. The request complies with the conditions contemplated by Section 24-66 for a
waiver as detailed herein, and the City Commission has the authority to grant the request
pursuant Section 24-46(d) based on the competent and substantial evidence provided.
