Item #1 - Reconsideration of Use by Exception Permit; Sunrise Community
Evangelical Free Church
Gary Christian, 1018 Main Street, Atlantic Beach, stated that he was an
attorney representing Sunrise Community Evangelical Free Church. He
stated that the use by exception was granted contingent upon the extension
of Cornell Lane and that Cornell Lane be used for access. He stated that
they were negotiating with Jimmy Jaffa of Aquatic Gardens and John Lauwert
of the Beaches Aquatic Pool, and that they both agree with the proposed
access. Mr. Christian stated that they were requesting the City to allow
Sunrise Church to use the revised access route in lieu of the extension
of Cornell Lane, and to allow the release of the letter of credit for the
extension of Cornell Lane when the access route is completed.
The City Manager stated that the easement would have to be accepted by
the City Commission and dedicated to the City. He added that the zoning
code provides that no building permit will be issued for any structure
that does not abut on a public street or easement, dedicated and accepted
by the City Commission.

Guy Jennings asked who would be responsible for maintaining the easement.
Mr. Christian replied that the Church would enter into a maintenance
agreement in connection with the execution of the easement agreement.
After a brief discussion Ron Gray motioned to recommend approval of
the request as presented, subject to the provisions of the zoning code
and the granting of the easements. Guy Jennings seconded the motion
which carried unanimously.
Item #2 - Rezoning of Mayport Road Corridor
The City Manager informed the Board that massive changes in the zoning
code, such as deleting and adding zoning classifications, would require
an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan which would be a lengthy process.
Ron Gray asked if spot rezoning, in accordance with the City's plans for
Mayport Road, would be permitted during that interim period. Commissioner
Van Ness stated that the Department of Community Affairs would have to be
consulted.
The secretary presented the Board with a color-coded zoning map, reflecting
the decisions made at the workshop meeting of March 12th.
The Board decided that the RNH zoning should be deleted because it is not
appropriate or compatible with the area. The CG zoning would be extended
to Atlantic Boulevard. The westerly portion of the RMH zoning would be
included in the RG1 district.
The Board also decided to eliminate the 'jogs' in zoning in the CG area
from Donners Road to Church Road, to make an even line. They felt it
would give enough depth for development.
Guy Jennings was concerned that by having the CPO zoning three lots deep,
we may end up with offices on Saratoga Circle and Forrestal Circle rather
than on Mayport Road. The Board felt that one lot would not be deep enough
to develop. They decided that it should be two lots deep. The Board also
felt that there should be a buffer of CPO north of Forrestal Circle. It was
determined that it would be the same depth and 104 feet wide.
Ron Gray motioned to recommend to the City Commission, approval of the
zoning changes as presented on the color-coded zoning map. Chairman McCaulie
seconded the motion which carried unanimously.

Ron Gray motioned to recommend to the City Commission that CI zoning be
eliminated and that some of the uses in CI be allocated to CG, CL, and ILW,
as per the Board's recommendations. Chairman McCaulie seconded the motion
which carried unanimous ly.
Ron Gray motioned to recommend to the City Commission, the creation of a
new zoning classification, CPO, Commercial Professional Offices, which
would permit offices but no sales or manufacturing. Permitted uses would
include, but would not be limited to, offices of attorneys, real estate
agents, physicians and dentists. Chairman McCaulie seconded the motion.
The motion carried unanimously.
Ron Gray motioned that, should the City Commission concur with the
recommendations of the Advisory Planning Board, the City Commission
instruct the Board as to whether they will entertain spot rezoning that
is in accordance with the overall plan for Mayport Road, during the interim
period until the plan is approved. Chairman McCaulie seconded the motion
which carried unanimously.
Guy Jennings asked about the second major artery west of Mayport Road as
discussed at the workshop. Ruth Gregg stated that the new Navy housing
projects had blocked the direct route. Guy Jennings felt that the area on
the west side of Mayport Road could become a problem area. He motioned to
recommend to the City Commission that a comprehensive plan be made for
Section H, and that the City of Jacksonville be asked to give assistance.
Chairman. McCaulie seconded the notion which carried unanimoulsy.
Definition of Lot Coverage
Guy Jennings stated that not including parking, swimming pools, walks, etc, ,
in the definition of lot coverage was a good idea. He was concerned,
however, that there should be some provision to prohibit people from
paving large portions of their lots.. The Board asked the secretary to
investigate the requirements of other cities and report back to the Board
at the next meeting.
There being no further business before the Board, Chairman McCaulie adjourned
the meeting at 8:35 p.m.
