6A. Ordinance No. 90-89-140 - Continued Public Hearing
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ORDINANCE CODE OF THE CITY OF ATIANflC
BEACH, FLORIDA; AMENDING CHAPTER 24, THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING
ORDINANCE AND LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE BY AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING
MAP TO REZONE IONS 41 THOUGH 60, NORTH ATLANTIC BEACH UNIT 2 BY
P T1T1ON OF AT LEAST FIFTY PERCENT (50%) OF CONTIGUOUS PROPERTY
OWNERS FWI4 RESIDENTIAL GENERAL MULTIPLE FAMILY (RG2) TO
RESIDENTIAL GENERAL '1W) FAMILY (RG1) ; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE
DATE
Mayor Gulliford presented Ordinance No. 90-89-140, on final
reading. Said Ordinance was posted in accordance with Charter
✓equirements. The Mayor opened the floor for a continued public
tearing and invited comments from the audience.
Hugh Carithers, 1549 Beach Avenue, indicated he was a member of the
North Duval Beaches Association which was the entity making
application for the rezoning. He explained the intent of the
Association was to bring the zoning of the subject block into
conformity with other surrounding blocks.
Winnell Ford, 1858 Selva Grande Drive, owner of Lot 48, said it was
her feeling the proposed RG1 was the most appropriate zoning
classification for this area. She felt rezoning now may prevent
future undesirable development of any vacant lots in the area.
Dezmond Waters, 1835 Seminole Road, President of North Beaches
Association indicated the application to rezone had been prompted
by the request of a builder who had wanted to build eight units
where formerly a bungalow and garage apartment had been located.
The City of Jacksonville had reduced the number to six, and this
had been further reduced to four units. The prime objective of the
North Beaches Association was to further reduce density in the
area.
Others speaking in favor of the rezoning were Don Smith, 1875 Beach
Avenue; Elliot Zisser, 1937 Beach Avenue; Stuart Kimmell, 193 Beach
Avenue; Jerry Pietan, 1877 Beach Avenue; Jim Pelke, 1887 Beach
,venue; Michael Lanier, 1768 Park Terrace West; Curt Ford, 1858
Jelva Grande, Owner of Lot 48; and Don Wolfson 1725 Beach Avenue.

William Morgan, 1945 Beach Avenue, owner of Lots 55 and 56, opposed
the rezoning stating that when the North Atlantic Beach area was
annexed, careful consideration had been given to the re-
classification of the zoning so it would match as closely as
possible the Jacksonville zoning classification. Historically, the
zoning of this block had not been identical to the surrounding
properties, and he requested this condition be perpetuated.
Herbert Moller, 1911 Beach Avenue, spoke against the rezoning,
stating that with property taxes continually being increased,
property owners should be allowed some latitude in the use of their
property. He stated that present lot size requirements along with
height restrictions, would prevent the type of density which was
the apparent concern of those requesting the rezoning.
Don Wolfson, 1725 Beach Avenue asked the City Manager to explain
why the current zoning classification was assigned to that
particular area. Mr. Fellows explained Atlantic Beach had tried to
match as closely as possible the Jacksonville zoning classifica-
tions of each section when the area was annexed. The one exception
to this was a small area between 19th Street and 20th Street on the
ocean front where only single family homes existed. It was further
explained that three public hearings had been held at that time and
the opinions and requests of the residents were honored.
Ben Stadelman, 1931 Beach Avenue, said that he was against the
rezoning, but felt that a committee might be formed to determine
the best use of the various properties and commented on a large
home at 20th Street which blocked the ocean view of neighboring
homes.
Dillan Morgan, 1304 Belmont Terrace, owner of Lot 57, expressed
opposition to the rezoning and pointed out other areas to the north
which were also zoned multi-family and commented briefly on the
need for some attention to be given to the problems of crime and
litter.
Since no one else wished to speak for or against the Ordinance, the
Mayor declared the public hearing closed. In response to Mr.
Morgan's comments, the Mayor reminded the audience the City had
recently formed committees on Beautification, Safe Neighborhoods
and Solid Waste Disposal and invited those interested to serve on
those committees.
Notion: Pass Ordinance No. 90-89-140 on final reading
Commissioner Cook asked why the Community Development Board had
voted unanimously to recommend denial of the rezoning. The City Cook x
Manager explained their decision had been based on the fact public Edwards x x
zearings had been held and public opinion had been taken into Jensen x x
consideration at the time of annexation. The question was called Tucker x
and on roll-call vote, the motion failed on a three to two vote. Gulliford x

committee that all bids be rejected and the specifications be

Works Supervisor had examined the truck and he was prepared to

Beach City Council. He said Neptune Beach did not own painting
