ORDINANCE NO. 25-08-39
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH,
FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 6 OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES, BUILDINGS AND BUILDING REGULATIONS,
ARTICLE II, BUILDING CODE, BY REPEALING SEC. 6-24(b),
RESIDENTIAL DUNE CROSSOVER STRUCTURES, AND
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, Sec. 6-24(b) of the Code of Ordinances requires that all residential dune
crossover structures be constructed in accordance with the provisions contained therein, and
WHEREAS, Sec. 6-24(b) conflicts with State of Florida regulations in certain areas,
including the height of the dune walkover, required handrails, steps to the beach, and the like, and
WHEREAS, because state law takes precedence over City ordinances, it is no longer
necessary for the City to regulate the construction of residential dune crossover structures since they
must be constructed in accordance with all applicable state law.
