STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 4.A
CASE NO 17‐ZVAR‐309
Request for a variance as permitted by Section 24‐64, to reduce the rear yard
setback from 20 feet as required by Section 24‐106(e)(2) to 19 feet to allow an
addition at Milbert Homes S/D Lot 5 (aka 225 Sherry Drive).
LOCATION 225 SHERRY DRIVE
APPLICANT MARIE MORTENSON
DATE FEBRUARY 13, 2017
STAFF DEREK W. REEVES, PLANNER
STAFF COMMENTS
The applicant is Marie Mortenson, the owner of 225 Sherry Drive. The property is located on the northeast
corner of 2nd Street and Sherry Drive with a one story, single‐family home that was built in 1950 within the
RS‐2 zoning district. The applicant would like to add 197 square feet to the east side of the home that would
be about 19 feet from the northern property line and 18 feet from the eastern property line.
A variance is required by Section 24‐106(e)(2), which requires a rear yard setback of 20 feet, while the
applicants would like to add onto the existing house with a 19 foot rear yard setback. As a corner lot, the
narrowest side of the property adjoining a street is the front yard by definition of the code. This property has
76 feet along 2nd Street and 100 feet along Sherry Drive. This means that the front yard is along 2nd Street
and the rear yard is along the opposite (north) side of the property. Despite the homes orientation and
functionality with the front door and larger yard along Sherry Drive, setbacks are based on property
characteristics.
The property has a couple of nonconformities including the original location of the house. A survey on file
with the City showing the original house has the northern wall of the house in the same location as it is today,
but it is unknown what the setbacks were at the time of original construction in 1950 so it may have been
conforming at the time. There is also a pool located on the south side of the property, which is also the front
yard. Pools are not allowed in front yards under codes, making it nonconforming as well. It is not known
when this pool was constructed or if it met codes at the time.
The proposed addition extends the nonconforming wall along the north side of the property for a distance of
about 10 feet for a total of 10 square feet of the addition to be in violation of the setbacks.
The project has been submitted for permitting and is denied pending the outcome of this variance request.

ANALYSIS
Section 24‐64(b)(1) provides that “applications for a variance shall be considered on a case‐by‐case basis, and shall
be approved only upon findings of fact that the application is consistent with the definition of a variance and
consistent with the provisions of this section.” According to Section 24‐17, Definitions, “[a] variance shall mean
relief granted from certain terms of this chapter. The relief granted shall be only to the extent as expressly allowed
by this chapter and may be either an allowable exemption from certain provision(s) or a relaxation of the strict,
literal interpretation of certain provision(s). Any relief granted shall be in accordance with the provisions as set
forth in Section 24‐64 of this chapter, and such relief may be subject to conditions as set forth by the City of
Atlantic Beach.”
Section 24‐64(d) provides six distinct grounds for the approval of a variance:
(1) Exceptional topographic conditions of or near the property.
(2) Surrounding conditions or circumstances impacting the property disparately from nearby properties.
(3) Exceptional circumstances preventing the reasonable use of the property as compared to other properties
in the area.
The applicant stated in their application that the home was originally developed with Sherry Drive as the
front yard for the home and that it is only the code that makes 2nd Street as the front yard (with the north
yard the rear yard).
(4) Onerous effect of regulations enacted after platting or after development of the property or after
construction of improvements upon the property.
The applicant stated in their application that the corner lot ordinance is restricting the continuance of an
existing condition of the property.
(5) Irregular shape of the property warranting special consideration.
(6) Substandard size of a lot of record warranting a variance in order to provide for the reasonable use of the
property.

REQUIRED ACTION
The Community Development Board may consider a motion to approve 17‐ZVAR‐309, request to reduce the rear
yard setback from 20 feet as a required by Section 24‐106(e)(2) to 19 feet to allow an addition at Milbert Homes
S/D Lot 5 (aka 225 Sherry Drive), upon finding this request is consistent with the definition of a variance, and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 24‐64, specifically the grounds for approval delineated in Section 24‐
64(d) and as described below.
A variance may be granted, at the discretion of the community development board, for the following
reasons:
(1) Exceptional topographic conditions of or near the property.
(2) Surrounding conditions or circumstances impacting the property disparately from nearby properties.
(3) Exceptional circumstances preventing the reasonable use of the property as compared to other
properties in the area.
(4) Onerous effect of regulations enacted after platting or after development of the property or after
construction of improvements upon the property.
(5) Irregular shape of the property warranting special consideration.
(6) Substandard size of a lot of record warranting a variance in order to provide for the reasonable use
of the property.
Or,
The Community Development Board may consider a motion to deny 17‐ZVAR‐309, request to reduce the rear
yard setback from 20 feet as a required by Section 24‐106(e)(2) to 19 feet to allow an addition at Milbert Homes
S/D Lot 5 (aka 225 Sherry Drive), upon finding that the request is either inconsistent with the definition of a
variance, or it is not in accordance with the grounds of approval delineated in Section 24‐64(d), or it is consistent
with one or more of the grounds for denial of a variance, as delineated in Section 24‐64(c), described below.
No variance shall be granted if the Community Development Board, in its discretion, determines that the
granting of the requested variance shall have a materially adverse impact upon one (1) or more of the
following:
(1) Light and air to adjacent properties.
(2) Congestion of streets.
(3) Public safety, including traffic safety, risk of fire, flood, crime or other threats to public safety.
(4) Established property values.
(5) The aesthetic environment of the community.
(6) The natural environment of the community, including environmentally sensitive areas, wildlife
habitat, protected trees, or other significant environmental resources.
(7) The general health, welfare or beauty of the community.
Variances shall not be granted solely for personal comfort or convenience, for relief from financial
circumstances or for relief from situation created by the property owner.

CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BOARD
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 4.B
CASE NO 17-ZVAR-325
Request for a variance as permitted by Section 24-64, for relief from the Section 24-
161(f)(3) requirement for off-street parking spaces on properties with uses other
than single and two-family residential to be designed and constructed such that
vehicles are not required to back into the public rights-of-way to allow up to 6
parking spaces along Ahern Street and 3 driveways/6 parking spaces along East
Coast Drive at Atlantic Beach Subdivision Block 2 Lots 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 (aka 54
East Coast Drive, 329 and 331 Ahern Street).
LOCATION 54 EAST COAST DRIVE, 329 AND 331 AHERN STREET
APPLICANT AHERN TH PROJECT LLC
DATE FEBRUARY 13, 2017
STAFF DEREK W. REEVES, PLANNER
STAFF COMMENTS
The applicant is Ahern TH Project llc, the company that owns 54 East Coast Drive, 329 and 331 Ahern Street
in the Residential General, Multi-family (RG-M) zoning district. These properties have been acquired over
the last year and half and will be combined into a single development project. All together the property is
300 feet by 130 feet and is about 0.9 acres. The applicant plans to build a 12 unit condo project comprised of
4 buildings, each with 3 townhouse style units featuring 2-car garages and 6 additional parking spaces along
Ahern Street. Each garage will be accessed by an internal drive with the exception of the eastern most
building where each unit will have a separate driveway on East Coast Drive.
A variance is required by Section 24-161(f) that prohibits multi-family uses, among others, to have parking
spaces designed in a manner that requires vehicles to back into public rights-of-way. The six spaces along
Ahern Street and the three driveways associated with eastern most building along East Coast Drive are
designed so that vehicles are required to back into the street. This portion of the code was created in 2007
when the City was revising parking requirements. The lone dissenting vote at Commission expressed
concerns about the limitations this code would have on future development and redevelopment and
specifically referenced commercial businesses along Ahern Street.
The required parking for this project is largely accomplished by the fact that each unit has its own 2-car
garage. This will mean that cars are largely hidden from view and in a secure location. Typically residential
units are only required to provide 2 parking spaces per dwelling unit, but Section 24-161(j) requires an
additional space per unit for multi-family projects east of Seminole Road for “beach-going guests”. The three
proposed driveways in front of the garages along East Coast Drive and a small parking area at the end of the
motor court provide most of the additional spaces needed. The 6 spaces along Ahern Street will provide the
rest of the required parking.
The townhome design of the units with dedicated garages and specifically those along East Coast Drive makes
the project consistent with the surrounding neighborhood to the east and north that is made up of single
family homes and two unit townhomes/duplexes. Existing properties in the area are as narrow as 25 feet
and have their own driveways. The proposed development will have the equivalent of one driveway per 43
feet along East Coast Drive. The driveway nearest the intersection of East Coast Drive and Ahern will be in
excess of 25 feet and likely closer to 30 feet away, which helps to provide sight lines at the intersection. In
addition to that, the building will be setback 20 feet from the property line along East Coast Drive, but the
garage doors are recessed in a couple of feet allowing for around 23 feet of driveway length on property.
Along Ahern Street, the proposed 6 parking spaces will be completely located on the property and will also
be located about 100 feet from the intersection at Ahern Street and East Coast Drive. The proposed design of
2 sets of 3 parking spaces is consistent, but less impactful than the other residential and commercial parking
along Ahern Street that can have as many as 13 continuous spaces together. The final design may result in 3
sets of 2 parking spaces where the new set would be in front of the western most building.

ANALYSIS
Section 24-64(b)(1) provides that “applications for a variance shall be considered on a case-by-case basis, and shall
be approved only upon findings of fact that the application is consistent with the definition of a variance and
consistent with the provisions of this section.” According to Section 24-17, Definitions, “[a\ variance shall mean
relief granted from certain terms of this chapter. The relief granted shall be only to the extent as expressly allowed
by this chapter and may be either an allowable exemption from certain provision(s) or a relaxation of the strict,
literal interpretation of certain provision(s). Any relief granted shall be in accordance with the provisions as set
forth in Section 24-64 of this chapter, and such relief may be subject to conditions as set forth by the City of
!tlantic Beach.”
Section 24-64(d) provides six distinct grounds for the approval of a variance:
(1) Exceptional topographic conditions of or near the property.
(2) Surrounding conditions or circumstances impacting the property disparately from nearby properties.
(3) Exceptional circumstances preventing the reasonable use of the property as compared to other properties
in the area.
The applicant stated that the driveways on East Coast Drive are the only way to access the garages located
in the building along that side of the property. They also stated that the additional parking along Ahern
Street is provided to alleviate street congestion.
(4) Onerous effect of regulations enacted after platting or after development of the property or after
construction of improvements upon the property.
The applicant stated that property access has become restrictive under the regulations for this property.
(5) Irregular shape of the property warranting special consideration.
(6) Substandard size of a lot of record warranting a variance in order to provide for the reasonable use of the
property.
Page 3 of 4
REQUIRED ACTION
The Community Development Board may consider a motion to approve 17-ZVAR-325, request for relief from the
Section 24-161(f)(3) requirement for off-street parking spaces on properties with uses other than single and
two-family residential to be designed and constructed such that vehicles are not required to back into the
public rights-of-way to allow up to 6 parking spaces along Ahern Street and 3 driveways/6 parking spaces
along East Coast Drive at Atlantic Beach Subdivision Block 2 Lots 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 (aka 54 East Coast
Drive, 329 and 331 Ahern Street), upon finding this request is consistent with the definition of a variance, and
in accordance with the provisions of Section 24-64, specifically the grounds for approval delineated in Section 24-
64(d) and as described below.
A variance may be granted, at the discretion of the community development board, for the following
reasons:
(1) Exceptional topographic conditions of or near the property.
(2) Surrounding conditions or circumstances impacting the property disparately from nearby properties.
(3) Exceptional circumstances preventing the reasonable use of the property as compared to other
properties in the area.
(4) Onerous effect of regulations enacted after platting or after development of the property or after
construction of improvements upon the property.
(5) Irregular shape of the property warranting special consideration.
(6) Substandard size of a lot of record warranting a variance in order to provide for the reasonable use
of the property.
Or,
The Community Development Board may consider a motion to deny 17-ZVAR-325, request for relief from the
Section 24-161(f)(3) requirement for off-street parking spaces on properties with uses other than single and
two-family residential to be designed and constructed such that vehicles are not required to back into the
public rights-of-way to allow up to 6 parking spaces along Ahern Street and 3 driveways/6 parking spaces
along East Coast Drive at Atlantic Beach Subdivision Block 2 Lots 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 (aka 54 East Coast
Drive, 329 and 331 Ahern Street), upon finding that the request is either inconsistent with the definition of a
variance, or it is not in accordance with the grounds of approval delineated in Section 24-64(d), or it is consistent
with one or more of the grounds for denial of a variance, as delineated in Section 24-64(c), described below.
No variance shall be granted if the Community Development Board, in its discretion, determines that the
granting of the requested variance shall have a materially adverse impact upon one (1) or more of the
following:
(1) Light and air to adjacent properties.
(2) Congestion of streets.
(3) Public safety, including traffic safety, risk of fire, flood, crime or other threats to public safety.
(4) Established property values.
(5) The aesthetic environment of the community.
(6) The natural environment of the community, including environmentally sensitive areas, wildlife
habitat, protected trees, or other significant environmental resources.
(7) The general health, welfare or beauty of the community.
Variances shall not be granted solely for personal comfort or convenience, for relief from financial
circumstances or for relief from situation created by the property owner.

AGENDA ITEM 4;C
CASE NO 17-UBEX-333
Request for a use-by-exception as permitted by Section 24-63, to allow a limited
wholesale operation, not involving industrial products or processes or the
manufacturing of products of any kind as listed in Section 24-111(c)(5) in the
Commercial General zoning district at 1475 Main Street.
LOCATION 1475 MAIN STREET
APPLICANT TED JACKREL
DATE FEBRUARY 10, 2017
STAFF DEREK W; REEVES, PLANNER
STAFF COMMENTS
The applicant is Ted Jackrel, the owner of 1475 Main Street, who is requesting to operate a wholesale business
for the bulk shipment of electric vehicles at 1475 Main Street in the ommercial General (G) zoning district.
The electric vehicles sold range from golf carts to utility and transport vehicles. ! use-by-exception is required
by Section 24-111(c)(5) to allow a limited wholesale operation, not involving industrial products or processes
or the manufacturing of products of any kind.
! new building, approximately 12,000 square feet in size, would be constructed on the site where the vehicles
would be prepped and stored until they can be shipped out. This would be part of the owner’s larger business,
Moto lectric Vehicles that already operates at 4 other properties in the ity, including the adjoining property.
The adjoining property is used to prep the electric vehicles for sale at the showroom at Mayport Road and West
9th Street, which has a use-by-exception for sales along with an adjoining property on 10th Street. The last
property is located on 9th Street across from the showroom building and is used for offices. While the other
properties focus on the sale of electric vehicles to individual customers locally, this property would be used for
the sale of multiple vehicles to a single customer such as corporate campuses and military bases.
The property has an existing nonconforming (due to setbacks) metal garage left from the previous owner, but
is otherwise a vacant dirt lot with a 6 foot wood fence around it. There is an existing driveway at the southwest
corner of the property. The property is surrounded on three sides by public streets (Levy Road, Main Street
and Stocks Street). The fourth side is private property owned by the applicant and is also zoned G. !cross the
street to the east is an automotive repair facility in G. !cross the street to the west is a church in G. !cross
the street to the north are some residential and light industrial uses within the Light Industrial and
Warehousing zoning district. !lso nearby is a cemetery and about 170 feet to the south is a large residential
neighborhood. This property with the ones to the east and west act as a buffer between the residential
neighborhood to the south and the industrial area to the south. Uses in this area should be as minimally
impactful as possible to the residential neighborhood in terms of light, noise and odor.
Policy !.1.11.1 of the ity’s omprehensive Plan states the following for development in the G zoning district-
“These areas shall include those businesses that provide retail goods and services, which serve the routine
and daily needs of residents, including banks and professional services, grocery and convenience stores,
restaurants, accredited public and private schools and child care, but not including manufacturing,
warehousing, storage or high intensity commercial activates of a regional nature, or uses that have the
potential for negative impact to surrounding properties due to excessive noise, light or extremely late
hours of operation.”
The lack of customer interaction with the proposed use is questionable for its ability to serve the residents and
the warehousing of products to be distributed regionally and beyond should also be a concern.
Page 2 of 3
SUGGESTED ACTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL
The Community Development Board may consider a motion to recommend approval to the City
Commission of a requested Use-by-Exception (File No; 17-UBEX-333) to allow a limited
wholesale operation, not involving industrial products or processes or the manufacturing of
products of any kind as listed in Section 24-111(c)(5) within the Commercial General (CG)
Zoning District and located at 1475 Main Street provided:
1. !pproval of this Use-by-xception is consistent with the intent of the omprehensive Plan.
2. !pproval of this Use-by-xception is in compliance with the requirements of Section 24-63,
Zoning, Subdivision and Land evelopment Regulations.
3. The requested use is consistent with Section 24-111(c) in that the proposed use is found to be
consistent with the uses permitted in the G zoning district with respect to intensity of use,
traffic impacts and compatibility with existing industrial uses, commercial uses and any nearby
residential uses.
SUGGESTED ACTION TO RECOMMEND DENIAL
The Community Development Board may consider a motion to recommend denial to the City
Commission of a requested Use-by-Exception (File No; 17-UBEX-333) to allow a limited
wholesale operation, not involving industrial products or processes or the manufacturing of
products of any kind as listed in Section 24-111(c)(5) within the Commercial General (CG)
Zoning District and located at 1475 Main Street provided:
1. !pproval of this Use-by-xception is not consistent with the intent of the omprehensive Plan.
2. !pproval of this Use-by-xception is not in compliance with the requirements of Section 24-
63, Zoning, Subdivision and Land evelopment Regulations.
3. The requested use is not consistent with Section 24-111(c) in that the proposed use is found
to be inconsistent with the uses permitted in the G zoning districts with respect to intensity of
use, traffic impacts and compatibility with existing industrial uses, commercial uses and any
nearby residential uses.
