A. PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE 2020
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Public Hearing for review and recommendation for transmittal of an amendment of the
Future Land Use Element of the adopted 2020 Comprehensive Plan, to include objectives
and policies regarding coordination with Naval Station Mayport to achieve compatible land
uses, ensure safety, and facilitate continued presence of this major military installation, as
required by §163.3175 and §163.3177(6), Florida Statutes.
Staff Ms. Hall explained that the 2011 Florida Legislature passed House Bill
Report 7207 into law and established that local governments adjacent or in close
proximity to a military installation must incorporate strategies into their
comprehensive plan to achieve compatible land uses, ensure public safety
and facilitate the continued presence of major military installations
throughout the state, and that such action must be taken, or be in process
by the established deadline of June 30, 2012. She described the draft
language of new Objective A.1.15 and Policies A.1.15.1 through A.1.15.5,
which address these requirements as applicable to Atlantic Beach, and a
draft map of the Military Influence Zone, which includes noise and
accident potential factors with potential impact on the city.

Mr. Schellhorn then provided a more detailed description of the Military
Influence Zone, and the variables used to create it. He also discussed the
significance of this amendment to both the operations of the military
installation as well as safety of property owners.
Public There was no public comment.
Comment
Board Mr. Lambertson asked if all future requests originating from applicants
Discussion within the Military Influence Zone would now be required to be reviewed
by Mr. Schellhorn, acting as the city's military liaison. Ms. Hall said that
all such requests would be forwarded to Mr. Schellhorn for review and
comment.
Mr. Burgess asked if Mr. Schellhorn would be providing objections before
applications came to the Board for action. Ms. Hall explained that Mr.
Schellhorn would receive applications and staff reports in an agenda
package just like other members of the Board, and he would have the
opportunity to participate in all discussions with the Board at publicly
noticed meetings and to provide any information, evidence, studies, etc,
pertinent to the discussions, whether in support or in opposition to a given
application. As always, the Board would then take action based upon the
best available information. Ms. Hall further emphasized that Mr.
Schellhorn would not be a voting member of this Board, but rather would
be acting in an advisory capacity.
Mr. Lambertson asked what the impact would be on a typical applicant,
for example, someone from Oceanwalk seeking a rear yard variance for a
pool or sunroom. Mr. Schellhorn responded that such requests would
likely raise no concerns or comments. Mr. Lambertson asked what the
primary area of concern would be for the military, and Mr. Schellhorn
responded that it would most likely be height, but with the citywide
height limit (35'), that is not anticipated to be an issue either.
Motion Mr. Parkes moved that the Board recommend to the City Commission
transmittal of the proposed text amendment to the Future Land Use
Element of the adopted 2020 Comprehensive Plan, along with attendant
Map A -6, Military Influence Zone, to the Florida Department of
Economic Opportunity, Bureau of Community Planning and
Development, finding that the proposed amendment includes objectives
and policies regarding coordination with Naval Station Mayport to
achieve compatible land uses, ensure safety, and facilitate continued
presence of this major military installation, as required by §163.3175 and
§163.3177(6), Florida Statutes
Mr. Burgess seconded the motion and it passed unanimously, 5 -0.
