STAFF COMMENTS
The applicant is John Logan Tysinger, the owner of 90 Forrestal Circle South. This property is located on
the corner of Mayport Road and Forrestal Circle South, within the Commercial Professional Office (CPO)
zoning district. The property is also located within the “commercial corridor” overlay district, which
includes all properties within 100 feet of Mayport Road or Atlantic Boulevard.
The applicant is requesting to install a detached garage with a metal exterior finish in his backyard. Section
24-171 (commercial corridor development standards) prohibits metal as an exterior finish for new
buildings within the commercial corridor overlay.
The commercial corridor overlay was adopted in 2003 with
the intent to:
- Enhance the aesthetic and physical appearance of these
gateways into the City
- Enhance and retain property values
- Promote appropriate redevelopment of blighted areas
- Create an environment that is visually appealing and safe
for pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicular traffic.

ANALYSIS
Section 24-65 states that “applications for a variance shall be considered on a case-by-case basis, and shall
be approved only upon findings of fact that the application is consistent with the definition of a variance
and consistent with the provisions of this section.” According to Section 24-17, Definitions, “[a] variance
shall mean relief granted from certain terms of this chapter. The relief granted shall be only to the extent
as expressly allowed by this chapter and may be either an allowable exemption from certain provision(s)
or a relaxation of the strict, literal interpretation of certain provision(s). Any relief granted shall be in
accordance with the provisions as set forth in Section 24-65 of this chapter, and such relief may be subject
to conditions as set forth by the City of Atlantic Beach.”
Section 24-65(c) provides six distinct grounds for the approval of a variance:
(1) Exceptional topographic conditions of or near the property.
(2) Surrounding conditions or circumstances impacting the property disparately from nearby
properties.
(3) Exceptional circumstances preventing the reasonable use of the property as compared to other
properties in the area.
The applicants expressed that many neighbors have detached metal buildings in the back corner of
their lots.
(4) Onerous effect of regulations enacted after platting or after development of the property or after
construction of improvements upon the property.
(5) Irregular shape of the property warranting special consideration.
(6) Substandard size of a lot of record warranting a variance in order to provide for the reasonable
use of the property.
REQUIRED ACTION
The Community Development Board may consider a motion to approve ZVAR20-0002, request for a
variance to allow a detached garage with a metal exterior finish within the commercial corridors at 90

accordance with the provisions of Section 24-65, specifically the grounds for approval delineated in
Section 24-65(c) and as described below.
A variance may be granted, at the discretion of the Community Development Board, for the
following reasons:
(1) Exceptional topographic conditions of or near the property.
(2) Surrounding conditions or circumstances impacting the property disparately from nearby
properties.
(3) Exceptional circumstances preventing the reasonable use of the property as compared to
other properties in the area.
(4) Onerous effect of regulations enacted after platting or after development of the property or
after construction of improvements upon the property.
(5) Irregular shape of the property warranting special consideration.
(6) Substandard size of a lot of record warranting a variance in order to provide for the
reasonable use of the property.
Or,
The Community Development Board may consider a motion to deny ZVAR20-0002, request for a
variance to allow a detached garage with a metal exterior finish within the commercial corridors at 90
