STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 4.A
CASE NO. ZVAR22-0005
Request for a variance to reduce the minimum accessory structure setback of
5-feet for an unpermitted, uncovered deck greater than thirty (30) inches in
height and to reduce the minimum 5-foot side yard setback for a hot tub.
LOCATION 355 19th Street
APPLICANT Jennifer V Prado
DATE March 23, 2022
STAFF Amanda Askew, Director of Planning and Community Development
STAFF COMMENTS
The applicant, Jennifer V Prado, is the owner of 355 19th
Street. This property is 77 feet wide by 100 feet deep and
is located in the Residential, Selva Marina (R-SM)
zoning district.
On February 3rd, 2022, a stop work order was posted at
this property for building a deck without a permit. The
deck has not been completed. The applicant then applied
for a building permit on February 10th, 2022.
The deck was built with three (3) different heights; a
ground level deck located closest to the rear property
line, a 2.5 foot tall deck, and a 4 foot tall deck, which
contains a hot tub, located between the existing covered
area and side property line. Per Section 24-151(a),
structures which exceed 30 inches (2.5 feet) in height must meet accessory structure setbacks. Also,
Section 24-164 requires pools and hot tubs to be setback at least 5 feet from the property line. As such,
the 4 foot tall deck and the hot tub must meet setbacks.
On March 25, 2022, staff went to the subject property to measure the deck and the existing setbacks. The
4-foot tall unpermitted deck was built 3.88 feet from the side property line. In addition, the hot tub, which
the deck was built around, is located 4.38 feet from the side property line. The applicant is seeking variance
from the required 5-foot side yard setback to the 4-foot tall deck and hot tub.
The property survey from 2021 shows a “covered area” in the rear yard with a wood deck located to the
east. The city has no record of enclosing the “covered area” or the wood deck addition.

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.
The applicant stated, “the wall of coquina on the side of the house is blocking the spa from being
oved over. The frame is built around the hot tub as close as possible. I could move it possibly 6” in
from the property line, but to move it more would be extremely expensive and it was not budgeted
for and I am unable to send back the spa. The independent contractor who built it for me did not
mention the 5’ rule and he suggested it’s placement on the side of the house where it is. I could
remove the frame to save space but it wouldn’t look as nice”.
(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
(5) Irregular shape of the property warranting special consideration.
The applicant stated, “the house and property line are not parallel, resulting in one part of the deck
being in compliance at 5’ and other at 4’. The coquina wall prevents us from moving the deck in
because there is a built in spa and a wall covering it. The structure itself (concrete pillars) are 5’
Page 5 of 5
away from the property line. I have a young child and wanted to frame around the tub for safety. It’s
also more aesthetically pleasing for neighbors.
(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 ZVAR22-0005, request for a
variance to reduce the minimum side yard accessory structure setback for an unpermitted uncovered deck
and minimum side yard setback for a hot tub, upon finding this request is consistent with the definition of
a variance, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 24-65, specifically the grounds for approval
delineated in Section 24-65(c) and as described below.
