10. Statement of facts and any special reasons for the requested Waiver, which demonstrates compliance with
Section 24-46 (d) of the Zoning and Subdivision and Lan~ Development Regulations and specifically
describing how the request complies with the Conditions necessary for the City Commission to approve this
request. Please attach additional pages if needed.
We are requesting relief for the following item:
Allowance of an appurtenance which exceeds the maximum thirty-five
(35 1 ) height pursuant to LDR Section 24-10 (f) (2).
The building will replace an existing building and will greatly
improve the appearance of that area within Atlantic Beach. We
have made numerous improvements to the property and with this new
building, we will continue to make other improvements. The
proposed building has a maximum thirty-seven (37) 1 building height.
Article III -Zoning, Subsection 24-156 -Exceptions to height
limitations and Article XIV -Zoning, Section 59 states that the
City Commission may approve, requests to exceed the maximum
building height of thirty-five (35) feet for exterior architectural
design elements, exterior decks or porches within non-residential
land use categories. The subject property has a commercial land
use and a commercial zoning.
The majority of the proposed building meets the City's maximum
height requirement with the exception of two (2) small areas
(south & west sides)that house the elevator shafts and elevator
electrical equipment. 11 Appurtenances on Buildings", are usually
required to be placed above the roof level of a building and not
intended for human occupancy. These 11 non-habitable 11 spaces allow
for maintenance to occur and are located away from the front or
the building and will be difficult to from ground level.
We have worked diligently with the City on the architectural
appearance of the building. We will provide the most recent
approved elevations along with the requested roof plan and line
of sight perspective drawing.
