to such degree that the wastewater treatment plant effluent
cannot meet the requirements of other agencies having juris-
diction over discharge to the receiving waters.
(j) Any water or wastes which, by interaction with other
water or wastes in the public sewer system, release obnoxious
gases, form suspended solids which interfere with the collec-
tion system, or create a condition deleterious to structures
and treatment processes.
Sec. S. If any waters or wastes are discharged or are pro-
posed to be discharged to the public sewers, which waters
contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumera-
ted in Section 4 of this Article, and which in the judgement

Sec. 1. Purpose. This subchapter establishes procedures
to facilitate the orderly expansion of the City's sewage
and drainage systems and provides alternatives for funding
of the expansion by those benefiting thereby.
Sec. 2. Construction of Extension Projects.
(A) A city sewerage or drainage system extension.
project may be constructed by the City or by one or more
property owners, in accordance with plans prepared by or
approved by the City. The City may construct an exten-
sion to its sewerage or drainage system at the sole
expense of one or more property owners or in whole or in
part at City expense.

sole expense of one or more property owners benefiting from
the project, the City Engineer shall prepare or approve a
plan describing the scope and purpose of the proposed
extension and the estimated cost thereof. Before any
expenses are incurred or obligated by the City, the property
owners agreeing to bear the expense of the project shall pay
over to the City the total estimated cost of the project
and shall agree in writing to pay on demand any additional
expenses actually incurred by the City in constructing
the extension. The funds paid to the City shall be deposited
in a special extension project trust account in the sewer
or drainage enterprise fund, from which all expenses of the
project shall be paid without further appropriation. After
completion of the project, any remaining funds in excess of
those required to be expended for construction thereof may
be refunded to the contributing property owners in propor-
tion to their contribution to the project.
(2) If the City determines that a sewerage or
drainage system extension project is to be constructed by
the City in whole or in part at City expense, the City
Manager shall submit to the City Commission for approval
by resolution a description of the scope and purpose of
the proposed extensions, the estimated cost thereof, and
an analysis of project feasibility, including the basis
upon which construction with City funds is recommended.
Upon approval by the City Commission, the City Manager
shall proceed with the project only after the funds, if
any, to be contributed by one or more property owners
benefiting from the project have been paid to the City.
Contributions by property owners shall be subject to the
provisions of division (A) (1) above.
17
(B) The City may authorize a City sewerage or drainage
system extension project to be constructed by one or more
property owners benefiting from the project. A property
owner requesting an extension shall apply in writing to the
City, describing in detail the scope and purpose of the
proposed extension and an analysis of the project feasibility,
including an estimate of projected operation and maintenance
cost and project revenue related to the project. The
applicant shall also file, before final authorization to
commence the project is given by the City,detailed project -
plans and specifications. The City shall, within 60 days
from the filing of the detailed project plans and specifi-
cations, either approve or deny final authorization of the
project; however, the time limitation may be extended by
mutual written agreement of the City and the property owner.
The City may deny an application if the project fails to
comply with a requirement of this chapter or authorized
City regulations, or the project will result in an economic
operating loss to the City.

and related appurtenances or drainage structures installed
or constructed under this chapter are to be conveyed to the
City and shall be located only in,a public right-of-way,
on City -owned property, or in easements acceptable to the
City. Where the property is under development, sewerage,
or drainage system extensions shall not be installed until
the finished grades of the rights-of-way or easements have
been established and approved by the City Engineer, and the
rights-of-way or easements have been constructed to at least
design subgrade.

AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE TO PROHIBIT OR CURTAIL
NON-ESSENTIAL USES OF WATER AND TO CONSERVE
AVAILABLE WATER RESOURCES DURING A DECLARED
WATER SHORTAGE AND WATER SHORTAGE EMERGENCY
BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA:
Section 1. That Ordinance No. 80-81-19 An Emergency Ordinance to Prohibit
or Curtail Non -Essential Uses of Water and to Conserve Available Water Resources
During a Delcared Water Shortage and Water Shortage Emergency, be and the same
is hereby amended, and as amended shall henceforth read as follows:
"WHEREAS, the Governing Board of the St. Johns River Water
Management District did, by order on May 13, 1981, declare a
water shortage condition throughout its nineteen county dis-
trict due to the rainfall deficit experienced between the
dates of May, 1980 through April, 1981, of between 12 and 22
inches throughout the district as compared to an average year.
In addition, Chloride levels evidencing increased salt water
intrusion had risen from May, 1980, leading some coastal
communities to shut down supply wells. Moreover, potentimetric
pressure levels in the Floridan aquifer at many locations were
at or near historic low levels; and
WHEREAS, in May, 1981, potentimetric pressure throughout the
district in the Floridan Aquifer were below recorded historic
lows throughout a majority of the district reflecting the
lack of rainfall since June 1980, and increased ground water
withdrawals surpassing available recharge to the aquifer. The
danger of Chloride contamination increases with decreasing
water levels; and
WHEREAS, Sections 373.175(1) and 373.246(2), Florida Statutes,
authorize the Governing Board to declare a water shortage when
necessary to prevent serious harm to the water resources of the
district and to allocate the remaining water resources among
the water users of the district; and
WHEREAS, at their regular meeting of July 8, 1981, the Govern-
ing Board of the St. Johns River Management District did declare
that the voluntary order of May 13, 1981, did not achieve the
desired results and issued a mandate order that all public
water suppliers in certain areas of the district will reduce
pumping by 15% as compared with the average daily flows for the
fourteen day period prior to April 30, 1981; and
WHEREAS, the order issued on July 8, 1981, has been extended by
subsequent orders as recently as Order No. 81-225 on January 13,
1982; and
WHEREAS, the City of Atlantic Beach is a public water supplier
as defined by regulations of the District and the entire ser-
vice area of the system is included in the portion of the
district under the 15% pumping reduction mandate; and
WHEREAS, it is the full intent of the City Commission of the
City of Atlantic Beach to comply with the mandate of the St.
Johns River Management District.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC
BEACH, FLORIDA:
Section 1. The prohibition or curtailment of certain non-essential

secondary discharge source shall present proof of this
situation and obtain a permit from the City Manager's
office identifying such situation.
(b) The City Manager shall devise a system to identify owners
of heat pump air conditioning unit watering systems and
the City Clerk is authorized to charge a reasonable
administrative fee to defray any expenses incurred.

these hours.
(c) Irrigation with the use of sewage effluent shall
be exempt from the provisions of this section.
Section 4. Immediately upon determining that the City water
system has exceeded any limitation imposed by the St. Johns River
Water Management District the City Manager shall implement and

the City.
Section 7. All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict here-
with be and the same are, to the extent that same may be in con-
flict, hereby repealed.

THE SAME BEING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, BY
AMENDING SECTION III -G-1, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOP-
MENT (PUD)
WHEREAS, the City of Atlantic Beach, Florida, did adopt Ordinance
No. 90-82-74 on July 26, 1982, the same being the Land Development Code,
and
WHEREAS, the City Commission does exercise its powers to amend
the Land Development Code in order to encourage imaginative design to

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF ATLANTIC BEACH,
FLORIDA, That Ordinance No. 90-82-74 he amended as follows:
Section 1. That Section III -G-1 Planned Unit Development (PUD)
be amended to read:
G. SPECIAL USE DISTRICT
1. Planned Unit Development (PUD)
The purpose of the planned unit development is to encourage imagina-
tive design to create a more desirable environment than would be
possible through the strict application of the minimum requirements
of the Land Use Regulations. The purpose of planned unit development
regulations is to encourage flexibility in the design and develop-
ment of land in order to promote its most appropriate use; to
facilitate the adequate and economical provision of streets, utilities,
and public spaces; and to preserve the natural and scenic qualities
of open areas. The objective of a PUD is to encourage ingenuity,
imagination, and design efforts on the part of builders, architects,
site planners and developers; to produce developments which are in
keeping with overall land use intensity and open space objectives of
the Land Development Code, while departing from the strict applica-
tion of use, setback, and minimum lot size requirements of the several
zoning districts. While such planned unit developments may depart
from the strict application of the Land Development Regulations for
the district or districts in which it is proposed to be located,
such developments are to be compatible with the Comprehensive Plan
and platted of record in accordance with the subdivision regulations.
a Intent - The intent of this part is to permit such flexibility
and provide performance criteria for planned unit developments
which:
(1) Permit a creative approach to the development of land;
and,
(2) Accomplish a more desirable environment than would be
possible through the strict application of minimum
requirements of the zoning code; and,
(3)
Provide for an efficient use of land, resulting in small
networks of utilities and streets and thereby lower
development costs; and
(4) Enhance the appearance of the area through preservation
of natural features, the provision of underground
utilities and the provision of recreation areas and open
spaces in excess of existing zoning and subdivision
requirements; and
(5) Provide an opportunity for new approaches to ownership;
and
(6) Provide an environment of stable character compatible
with surrounding areas; and
(7) Retain property values over the years.
b. PUD Defined
For the purpose of this Land Development Code, planned unit
development (PUD) shall mean the development of land under
unified control which is planned and developed as a whole
in a single or programmed series of operations with uses and
structures substantially related to the character of the
entire development. A PUD must also include a program for
the provision, maintenance, and operation of all areas,
improvements, facilities, and necessary services for the
common use of all occupants thereof.
c. Permitted Uses.
Any use which is permitted or permissible by exception in
any district may be included in a PUD.
d. Site Requirements.
Minimum site area required is -1 -0 -acres 7 acres.
e. Application for Rezoning to PUD
An application for rezoning to PUD shall proceed in general as
for other applications for rezoning; and, in addition to the
information usually required for such applications, the following
shall be required:
(1) Plats and/or metes and bounds description of the area
within the PUD.
(2) The name and address of the owner and, if applicable,
evidence of the assignment of an agent who represents
the owner.
(3) Evidence of unified control of the entire area within the
PUD with all owners within the area of same identified.
(4) An agreement by all owners within the PUD which includes
their commitment to:
(a) Proceed with the proposed development in accordance
with the PUD ordinance and such conditions and
safeguards as may be set by the City Commission in
such ordinance; and
(b) Provide a written statement of a proposal for com—
pletion of such development according to plans
approved by such ordinance, and for continuing
operation and maintenance to such areas,
functions and facilities as are not to be
provided, operated or maintained by the
City of Atlantic Beach pursuant to written
agreement; and
(c) To bind their successors in title to any
commitments made in their application.
f. Materials to accompany applications. An application for
rezoning to PUD shall be accompanied by the following,
in sufficient copies as deemed necessary by the Adminis-
trative Official for referrals and recommendations:
(1)
Plans, maps, studies and reports as may be required
by the City of Atlantic Beach in order to make the
findings and determinations called for in the
particular case.
(2) Written description of the intended plan of develop-
ment, clearly indicating where approval of the PUD
will benefit the future occupants of the proposed
development and the City in general. Such justifi-
cation shall be based on the intent of the planned
unit development.
(3)
A sketch plan at an appropriate scale supporting the
above statement illustrating:
(a) The preliminary location, grouping, and height
of all uses and facilities.
(b) In the case of residential development, the
number of residential units proposed, their
general location, number of stories, indicating
those areas to be owner occupied and those to
be renter occupied.
(c)
A preliminary vehicular and pedestrian circula-
tion system including driveways, walkways,
parking areas, and streets to be dedicated.
(d) A system of open space and recreational uses,
with estimates of acreage to be dedicated and
that to be retained in common ownership.
(e)
A topographic map at an appropriate scale showing
contour lines, including all existing buildings
and wooded areas.
(f) Site data including tabulation of total number
of gross aeras in the project and acreage to be
g•
devoted to each of several types of primary
residential, secondary non-residential uses
and of the space uses, the total number of
dwelling units and square foot of gross non-
residential building areas.
(4) Preliminary statements indicating how the problems
of maintenance and ownership of common facilities
will be resolved.
(5)
Preliminary schedules of development, including the
staging and phasing of:
(a) Areas to be developed, in order of priority;
and
(b) The construction of streets, utilities and other
improvements necessary to serve the proposed
development; and
(c) The dedication of land to public use.
(6) Each of the above elements shall be listed as to their
relative order of improvement with an estimated time
schedule for their accomplishment. It is, among
other things, the intent of this requirement that the
schedule of development be such that a staged imple-
mentation of the planned unit development would not
result in land use conditions which would establish a
precedent for the use of adjoining undeveloped property
for the purposes other than that shown on the approved
planned unit development.

219
Supp. #4, 9-72
§ 28-17.1
Atlantic Beach City Code § 28-17.1
plots, consisting of physical grouping of residences in clusters, townhouses or apart-
ments, combination of individually owned units, condominiums and cooperatives,
with related open spaces and community facilities and services, such as recreational,
neighborhood retail and professional facilities essential to or supporting such land
planning and development, to be known as "Planned Unit Development" or "PUD,"
which shall apply to all areas of the city whether zoned or unzoned, to subdivision
or resubdivision of land and acreage replatting of existing platted land and wherever
circumstances require deviation from standard zoning and subdivision regulations
of the city specifying uses, lot area, and dimensions, yard, front and open space
requirements, and shall also include land areas where appropriate for shopping
centers, business and industrial uses. The provisions of this section are also in-
tended to encourage the exercise of imaginative planning and design in the highest
and best use of land areas for modern housing offering a variety of dwelling or other
unit types.
Architectural harmony and compatibility with the neighborhood can be stimulated
by avoiding duplication of design, floor plan and roof design. When these concepts
are not taken into consideration, there is a constant threat of the degradation of the
community. Therefore, submittal of any plans that are of duplicate or similar de-
sign or duplicate any existing•design for construction in this city shall be referred
to the city commission for approval.
(b) Permissive application; principles of criteria. In order to provide greater
flexibility in design, setbacks, dimensions and heights, and other limitations that
would otherwise not be possible through the strict application of the standard zoning
and subdivision regulations of the city, all applications for "PUD" zones under this
section shall be permissive only, and shall grant no property right to any person,
firm or corporation making application hereunder, and shall be subject to final ac-
tion by the city commission, after public hearings hereinafter provided for, that a
"PUD" is necessary and appropriate in order to provide and promote the public
safety, health and general welfare, and that such a development if not generally in-
consistent with the city's master zoning plan, and meets the following criteria:
(1) Be large enough to form anintegral planning unit, and to provide for
adequate open space, circulation, off-street parking and pertinent development
amenities, and to be conveniently served by appropriately oriented facilities and
services.
(2) Be designed so that the diverse functional elements are integrated, are
properly orientated and are well related to topography and natural landscape features.
(3) Be well related to existing and proposed land use and circulation patterns
of adjoining properties, and should not constitute a disrupting element with regard to
the character of adjacent neighborhoods and communities.
(4) Be planned to economize on street and utility improvements, but should
provide adequate access for service and emergency vehicles as well as for residents
and the general public.
220
Supp. #4, 9-72
§ 28-17.1 Zoning § 2817.1
(5) Have an internal system of streets designed to move vehicles safely and
efficiently without dominating the overall design or disrupting the functions of other
planned facilities or open spaces.
(6) Appropriate and useable open space in the form of private parks, play
areas, landscaped areas, water elements and walkways should be included immedi-
ately adjacent to or accessible to all units contained in such development.
(7) Community facilities should be grouped in locations which relate to the
open space system in order to provide focal points for the overall design, and to
maximize pedestrian and vehicle access.

standards are lacking, be adequate to meet the needs of such development, as deter-
mined by competent planning and engineering consultants.

cooperatives and commercial or professional complexes, a private property owners
association or corporation shall be formed to provide and assure the continuous main-
tenance of open areas and community services and common facilities.
