•Create a mechanism to establish a plan of
development/redevelopment for a site where the property owner and

the conventional zoning districts.
•Where assurances and commitments are necessary to protect the
interests of both the property owner and the public,and also the
unique qualities of the City of Atlantic Beach which are expressed
throughout the zoning codes and the Comprehensive Plan.
•Provide an appropriate zoning district classification for new
development and redevelopment where specific development
standards and conditions will be established within the enacting
ordinance.
•Process should be used where a proposed development or
redevelopment project has unique characteristics,special
environmental or physical features such that a site development plan
is needed as part of the review and approval process.

AREA
•There was marsh on the southern
half of the property until the
1970’s.
•It may have been a former dump.
•Reportedly solid waste was brought
onto the property to fill in wetlands
•Likely presence of unknown buried
solid waste
BER Findings
•Used tires and solid waste dumped
on the ground and visible evidence of
buried solid waste southern half of
property
•Removal and property disposal of
waste would be necessary to build on
this area
Conclusions and Recommendations from Phase 2 ESA
•Further site assessment of the subsurface soil and
found water quality is not warranted for the
property at this time.
•Buried soil waste identified at the property would
most likely involve the removal of off-site disposal
of the waste materials and replacement with
clean soil

Policy A.1.1.1 Land development within the City shall be permitted only where such development is
compatible with environmental limitations of the site and only when submitted plans
demonstrate appropriate recognition of topography,soil conditions,flooding conditions,
trees,vegetation and other Environmentally Sensitive Areas,including wetlands and
coastal resources,and habitat protection of rare,endangered or threatened species and
areas of unique natural beauty.
Policy A.1.3.3 The City shall continue to manage,preserve and construct facilities that provide diverse
opportunities to all residents for both passive and active recreation,including parks,
nature preserves,trails and bikeways,skateboard parks and ball fields,dune crossovers,
waterway accesses and associated amenities.
Policy A.1.3.5 The City shall continue to expand opportunities and facilities for public access to the
beach,the Intracoastal Waterway,and associated creeks and marshes for passive and
natural resource based recreation activities,such as hiking and biking,canoeing and
kayaking,birding,fishing and other similar activities that have limited impact on these
resources.
Policy D.5.1.1 The City shall protect and restore floodplain areas when possible through land
acquisition or conservation easement acquisition;regulation,including setbacks,buffer
zones,designated wildlife corridors,low density zoning,performance standards and open
space requirements.
Policy E.1.2.2 The City shall maintain,within its Land Development Regulations,provisions that require
open space and recreation within new development.
Analysis
Lowers density within the floodplain and in an area adjacent
to environmentally sensitive lands (wetlands)
Low impact development (lot coverage and land use) helps
with stormwater/flooding issues
Jasmine Street right of way will not be paved with proposed
development (less impervious surface)
Large area of dedicated green space is proposed
Opportunity to preserve existing tree canopy
