John M. Stinson, Chair-P2 SARC
31stth of October 2017
The City of Atlantic Beach created the Parking and Pedestrian
Safety Advisory Resource Committee by adopting Resolution
17-08 on the 24th ofJuly 2017.
Specific to the purpose of the PZSARC as detailed in Resolution
17-08 Section 2. Purpose, is the charge for the P2SARC to
evaluate and make recommendations for revisions to the
current parking system.
The P2 SARC was also charged with making a report and
recommendation to the City of Atlantic Beach, City Commission
by the 1st of October 2017 or as soon thereafter as is practical.
Since its inception and first meeting, the PZSARC has completed
a priority setting exercise that includes "first priority" concerns
for the City of Atlantic Beach parking stakeholders.
Included in this prioritization of the P2 SARC focus, was the fact
that the City of Neptune Beach is poised to implement paid
parking within the boundaries of the City of Neptune Beach
including the Beaches Town Center overlay area. The P2 SARC
has held four meetings in which presentations have been made
by Beaches Town Center Agency representatives, one City of
Neptune Beach City Councilman and a representative ofthe
paid parking solution provider.
The general consensus of the P2 SARC at the regularly
scheduled meeting of the 5th of October 2017 was to consider a
recommendation for presentation to the City Commission. And
subsequent to those presentations, the P2 SARC considered the
recommendation again at the meeting of the 19th of October

JUSTIFICATION:
BUDGET:
RECOMMENDATION:
2017. This recommendation is the draft of the proposed
recommendation to the City Commission for consideration at
the regularly scheduled Commission meeting of the 23rd of
October 2017.
There may be other historical information, not presented in
this chronology and not available at the time of the drafting of
this report.
Adequate and available parking for all stakeholders of the City
of Atlantic Beach parking system is in need of improvement.
Justification of that need could be seen simply as the creation
of PZSARC, or more intrinsically is the fact that the City of
Atlantic Beach, its beaches, restaurants and neighboring cities
are experiencing more demand for access than ever before.
Because of the appeal and attraction of the area, demand now
overwhelms availability.
The Beaches Town Center Agency and the City of Neptune
Beach independent of the others efforts, have done the due
diligence to evaluate paid parking solutions. Both groups,
through that research, have arrived and chosen the same
parking solution provider, Parkeon.
The Parkeon solution is currently in use as nearby as the
University of North Florida, as well as many other
municipalities and locations across the State of Florida and the
United States. Parkeon's system is fully customizable, and
scalable to accommodate any number of eventualities or needs.
It is believed by the members of the P2 SARC that it would be
prudent to adopt the same system recommended by these two
stakeholders for purposes of continuity and uniformity
throughout the beaches.
Budgetary impact has not been determined at this time.
1. Adopt the Parkeon parking management solution selected by
the Beaches Town Center Agency and the City of Neptune
Beach for implementation and management of selected
parking areas of the City of Atlantic Beach.
2. The defined area for implementation of the Parkeon system
could be the area considered as the Beaches Town Center

ATTACHMENTS:
overlay and City provided parking adjacent to or supporting
the Beaches Town Center.
a. Alternative areas to consider for inclusion into the
initial implementation of the Parkeon system would be:
i. 1Qth Street from Ocean Blvd. to the beach
access;
ii. 18th Street from Seminole Road to the beach
access stairway and walkover;
iii. 19th Street from Seminole Road to the beach
access.
b. Because parking "creep" into adjacent residential
neighborhoods, as a result of paid parking within the
Beaches Town Center overlay, is almost a certainty,
inclusion of these adjacent neighborhoods into the paid
parking program would minimize the affect of"creep".
i. Consider implementing the paid parking
program into any residential neighborhood
within two (2) city blocks of the Town Center
overlay;
ii. Utilize the fully customizable aspects of the
Parkeon system to manage the fees imposed by
charging residents of the City of Atlantic Beach a
minimal (if any fee) and visitors a fee structure
that discourages parking within the adjacent
neighborhoods.
3. Create a Joint Task Force of one (1) elected official from each
municipality, one (1) public safety official from each
municipality, one (1) member of the finance department of
each municipality, and, up to three (3) members of the Beaches
Town Center Agency (to include a Parkeon representative).
This task force would determine fee structures within the
Town Center overlay, implementation timelines, system
management responsibilities, profit distribution methods, and
other commonalities between the three stakeholders, the City
of Atlantic Beach, the City of Neptune Beach and the Beaches
Town Center Agency. Finally, measure I evaluate the success of
the paid for parking system.
