Where such variances are requested for side setbacks on both sides of a parcel, the cumulative to be waived shall not exceed five (5) percent of the required setback for a single side. For example, where the required side setback is a combined fifteen (15) feet with a minimum on one side of five (5) feet, the maximum permitted to be waived is three (3) inches on the five (5) foot setback and six (6) inches on the ten (10) foot setback for a cumulative total of nine (9) inches. Similarly, for 20-foot front and rear setbacks, the maximum permitted to be waived on either the front or rear or in combination is twelve (12) inches. Administrative Vvariances may also be authorized where an inadvertent surveying error has resulted in placement of a building not more than four (4) inches outside of a required building setback line. In such cases, a letter of explanation shall be provided by the surveyor, which shall remain part of the building permit file. Sec. 24-645. - Variances. The Community Development Board is authorized to grant relief from the strict application of certain land development regulations where, due to an exceptional situation, adherence to the language of the land development regulations results in “exceptional practical difficulties or undue hardship” upon a property owner. Examples of land development standards relieffor which a variance may be authorized include but are not limited to: • Parking standards • Drive aisle width • Setbacks • Landscaping • Fence height • Impervious surface Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 148 of 310 57 However, Aa variance shall notvariances are not authorized to reduce minimum lot area, minimum lot width or lot depth, and shall notnor increase maximum height of building or impervious surface area as established for the various zoning districts. Further, a variance shall not modify the permitted uses or any use terms of a property. In most cases, difficulty orexceptional practical difficulties or undue hardship results from physical characteristics that make the property unique or difficult to use. While tThe applicant has the burden of proof., tThe Community Development Board must determine that granting the request would not cause substantial detriment to the public good and would not be inconsistent with the general intent and purpose of the land development regulations. A variance may be sought in accordance with this section. Applications for a variance may be obtained from the Community Development Department.. (a) Application. A request for a variance shall be submitted on an application form as provided by the city and shall contain each of the following: (1) A legal description of the property for which the variance is requested. (2) A reasonable statement describing the reasons and justification for the variance. (3) A survey or lot diagram indicating setbacks; existing and proposed construction, as well as other significant features existing on the lot. (4) The signature of the owner, or the signature of the owner's authorized agent. Written and notarized authorization by the owner for the agent to act on the behalf of the property owner shall be provided with the application. (b) Public hearing. Upon receipt of a complete and proper application, the community development director shall within a reasonable period of time schedule the application for a public hearing before the cCommunity dDevelopment bBoard following required public notice as set forth in Section 24-51. At the public hearing, the applicant may appear in person and/or may be represented by an authorized agent. (1) 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. (2) The cCommunity dDevelopment bBoard shall not grant a variance, which would allow a use that is not a permitted use, or a permitted use-by-exception in the applicable zoning district. In the case of an application for a use-by-exception that is considered concurrently with an application for a variance, approval of the variance shall be contingent upon approval of the use-by-exception by the Community Development Boardcity commission. In the event, that the use-by- exception is denied by the Community Development Boardcity commission, any approved variance shall be rendered null and void. (3) The cCommunity dDevelopment bBoard shall not approve any variance that would allow a use that is prohibited by the terms of this chapter or by the comprehensive plan. (4) The nonconforming use of adjacent or neighboring lands, structures or buildings shall not be considered as justification for the approval of a variance. (5) Variances shall not be granted solely for the personal comfort or convenience, for relief from financial circumstances, or for relief from situations created by the property owner. Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 149 of 310 58 (c) Grounds for denial of a variance. No variance shall be granted if the cCommunity dDevelopment bBoard, 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.

(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 situations created by the property owner. (cd) Grounds for approval of a variance. A variance may be granted, at the discretion of the cCommunity dDevelopment bBoard, for the following reasons The Community Development Board shall find that one or more of the following factors exist to support an application for 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. (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. In the event the Community Development Board finds that none of the above exist, then the Community Development Board shall deny the variance. (de) Approval of a variance. To approve an application for a variance, the cCommunity dDevelopment bBoard shall find that the request is in accordance with the preceding terms and provisions of this section and that the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of this chapter. In granting a variance, the cCommunity dDevelopment bBoard may prescribe appropriate conditions in conformance with and to maintain consistency with City Code. Violation of such conditions, when made a part of the terms under which the variance is granted, shall be deemed a violation of this chapter, and shall be subject to established code enforcement procedures. (ef) Approval of lesser variances. The cCommunity dDevelopment bBoard shall have the authority to approve a lesser variance than requested if a lesser variance shall be more Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 150 of 310 59 appropriately in accord with the terms and provisions of this section and with the purpose and intent of this chapter. (fg) Nearby nonconformity. Nonconforming characteristics of nearby lands, structures or buildings shall not be grounds for approval of a variance. (gh) Waiting period for re-submittal. If an application for a variance is denied by the cCommunity dDevelopment bBoard, no further action on another application for substantially the same request on the same property shall be accepted for three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the date of denial. (hi) Time period to implement variance. Unless otherwise stipulated by the cCommunity dDevelopment bBoard, the work to be performed pursuant to a variance shall begin within twelve (12) months from the date of approval of the variance. The community development director, upon finding of good cause, may authorize a one-time extension not to exceed an additional twelve (12) months, beyond which time the variance shall become null and void. (ji) Transferability. A variance, which involves the development of land, shall be transferable and shall run with the title to the property unless otherwise stipulated by the cCommunity dDevelopment bBoard. (Ord. No. 90-10-212, § 2(Exh. A), 3-8-10) Sec. 24-656. - Waiver. (a) General. Except for those waivers authorized by sec. 24-190, where the City Commission finds that undue hardship due to unreasonable practical difficulties may result from strict compliance with this chapter, the City Commission may approve a waiver. (b) Conditions of waiver.

A), 3-8-10) Sec. 24-6867. - Stormwater, drainage, storage and treatment requirements. (a) Topography and grading. All lots and development sites shall be constructed and graded in such a manner so that the stormwater drains to the adjacent street, an existing natural element used to convey stormwater (see section 22-303, dDefinitions: Stormwater management system), or a city drainage structure after meeting onsite storage requirements, as set forth within this section. The city shall be provided with a pre-construction topographical survey prior to the issuance of a development permit and a post-construction Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 152 of 310 61 topographical survey prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Elevations in all topographic surveys will be referenced to NAVD 1988. Said surveys shall be signed and sealed by a licensed Florida surveyor. Except as required to meet coastal construction codes as set forth within a valid permit from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection; or as required to meet applicable flood zone or stormwater regulations as set forth herein, the elevation or topography of a development or redevelopment site shall not be altered. (b) Onsite storage. Except as provided herein, an applicant shall be required to provide onsite storage of stormwater for all development and redevelopment projects and for any addition or modification that increases the impervious surface area on a developed lot by more than two hundred fifty (250) square feet.Any modification or replacement of driveway and sidewalk areas only on a developed lot shall not require onsite storage improvements provided the modification or replacement does not alter the footprint of the existing driveway or sidewalk area. Applicatns shall provide documentations and calculations to demonstrate compliance with submittal of application for construction. Development projects previously permitted by the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD), which have an in-compliance existing retention or detention system that collects and controls stormwater as of February 25, 2019 are exempt from further onsite storage requirements; provided, however, a copy of the Engineer’s Certification of As-Built Construction to the SJRW MD must be submitted to the City before building permits for individual lot construction may be issued. When onsite storage is required for any new development or redevelopment, or any addition or modification, an as-built survey, signed and sealed by a licensed Florida surveyor, documenting proper construction and required volume of the storage system, must be submitted to and approved by the Director of Public Works prior to permit closeout or issuance of a certificate of occupancy. For an underground system, a notarized letter from the general contractor, along with as-built plans and constructiong photographs, will be sufficient to document propert construction. In addition, a declaration of restrictive covenant, in recordable form and approved by the City, identifying and describing the required on-site storage improvements to be maintained, shall be executed and recorded in the public records of Duval County, Florida, by the owner of the subject parcel and shall be binding on successors and assigns, prior to the permit closeout or issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Volume calculations for any projects that require onsite storage shall be based on the following calculation: V=CAR/12, where V = volume of storage in cubic feet, A = total impervious area, R = 25-year and 24-hour rainfall depth (9.3 inches) over the lot area, and C = runoff coefficient, which is 0.92 which is the difference between impervious area (C=1.0) and undeveloped conditions (C=0.08). This volume must be stored at least one (1) foot above the wet season water table and below the overflow point to offsite (in many cases this may be the adjacent road elevation). As an option, and as approved by the director of public works, an applicant may implement, at the applicant's cost, offsite storage and necessary conveyance to control existing flood stages Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 153 of 310 62 offsite., provided documentation showing appropriate authorization for the off-site use and meeting the requirements of this section is submitted and approved by the city. (c) Floodplain storage. There shall be no net loss of storage for areas in a Special Flood Hazard Area (100-year floodplain), where a base flood elevation has been defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on flood insurance rate maps (FIRMs). Site grading shall create storage onsite to mitigate for filling of volume onsite. This storage is in addition to the storage required for the increase in impervious surface area. The applicant shall provide signed and sealed engineering plans and calculations documenting that this "no net loss" requirement is met. (d) Stormwater treatment. For all new development or redevelopment of existing properties, excluding single- and two-family uses, where construction meets limits for requiring building code upgrades, stormwater treatment shall be provided for a volume equivalent to either retention or detention with filtration, of the runoff from the first one (1) inch of rainfall; or as an option, for facilities with a drainage area of less than one hundred (100) acres, the first one-half (½) inch of runoff pursuant to Chapter 62-330, Florida Administrative Code (FAC). No discharge from any stormwater facility shall cause or contribute to a violation of water quality standards as provided in Section 62.302 of the FAC Florida Administrative Code. This treatment volume can be included as part of the onsite storage requirement in item d (2) [subsection (b)] of this section. (e) NPDES requirements. All construction activities shall be in conformance with the city's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems (NPDES) permit, in addition to the requirements of the St. Johns River Water Management District and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. NPDES requirements include use of best management practices (BMPs) prior to discharge into natural or artificial drainage systems. All construction projects of one (1) acre or more require a stand-alone NPDES permit. Site clearing, demolition and construction on any size site may not commence until site inspection and approval of the proper installation of a required best management practices erosion and sediment control plan is completed. (f) Enforcement. Subsequent to approval of a property owner's final grading, including onsite and/or floodplain storage and stormwater treatment and closeout of the applicable permit or issuance of certificates of occupancy, the improvements shall be maintained by the property owner. In order to ensure compliance with the provisions of this section and the requirements to maintain onsite stormwater improvements over time, the City is authorized to conduct inspections of property, upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times, for the purpose of inspecting said property and/or onsite storage improvements for compliance with this section and with any applicable conditions of previously issued permits. Failure to maintain the improvements will require restoration upon notification by the director of public works, within a stipulated time frame. If restoration is not timely completed, the city shall have the right to complete the restoration, and the city's actual cost incurred, together with a charge of one hundred (100) percent of said costs to cover the city's administrative expenses, shall be charged to the then owner of the property. (g) Variances to impervious surface area limits. Variances to impervious surface limits shall be subject to the provisions in Section 24-654. Impervious surface requirements shall not be eligible for relief via waivers from the City Commission. (Ord. No. 90-10-212, § 2(Exh.

The purpose and intent of these new regulations is to implement the goals, objectives and policies as set forth within the adopted 2015 Comprehensive Plan., restated in part below: Goal A.1 The city shall manage growth and redevelopment in a manner, which results in a pattern of land uses that: 1) encourages, creates and maintains a healthy and aesthetically pleasing built environment, 2) avoids blighting influences, 3) preserves and enhances coastal, environmental, natural, historic and cultural resources, and 4) maintains the city's distinct residential community character. Objective A.1.3 Maintaining residential character. The city shall encourage future development and redevelopment, which: 1) retains the exceptionally high quality of life and the predominantly residential character of the City of Atlantic Beach, and 2) provides for the preservation and protection of the dense tree canopy. Policy A.1.4.3 By December 31, 2005, the city shall consider amendments to its land development regulations, which include provisions intended to retain the unique community identity, the architectural character, and the residential scale of that area of the city known as Old Atlantic Beach. Policy A.1.4.4 Within Old Atlantic Beach, the city shall consider options to discourage the redevelopment of residential lots in ways that are inconsistent and incompatible with the historic and existing built environment. The diversity of residential types is recognized as an asset to this community's unique character. The purpose of these regulations is also to regulate the future use and development of land in a manner that minimizes incompatible relationships within neighborhoods that may result from new development, which because of excessive height, mass or bulk may result in new development that excessively dominates established development patterns within neighborhoods or excessively restricts light, air, breezes or privacy on adjacent properties. The further intent of these regulations is to appropriately limit height and bulk and mass of residential structures in accordance with the expressed intent of the citizens of Atlantic Beach, and also to support and implement the recitals of Ordinance 90-06-195 and as more specifically enumerated below: (1) To ensure that buildings are compatible in mass and scale with those of buildings seen traditionally within the residential neighborhoods of Atlantic Beach. (2) To maintain the traditional scale of buildings as seen along the street. (3) To minimize negative visual impacts of larger new or remodeled buildings upon adjacent properties. (4) To promote access to light and air from adjacent properties. (5) To preserve and enhance the existing mature tree canopy, particularly within front yards. (b) Applicability.

Where an access way intersects with another access way within a vehicular use area, or where an access way is located within a vehicular use area, or where an access way intersects with a street right-of-way, cross visibility within the sight triangle, as defined in this chapter shall be unobstructed at a level between two (2) and eight (8) feet, above elevation of adjacent pavement. (l) Special Administrative Remedies. INTENT (a) For lots with a depth of one hundred fifty (150) feet or less, or an area of fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet or less, the following requirements shall apply: 1. an automatic fifty (50) percent reduction in landscape yard depth requirements for screening, perimeter landscaping depth requirements, and interior landscaping areas; and 2. a twenty-five (25) percent reduction in all planting requirements except for the required evergreen plantings for screening. (b) In situations other than section (a) above, where compliance with the landscape requirements would require: the demolition of an existing building; a loss of more than 10% of the gross required off-street parking for an existing development; or of a loss greater than 15% of the lot area for development, the following administrative remedies may be applied by the Community Development Director: 1. Reduce the required minimum landscaped area widths up to 50%. 2. Reduce the tree planting requirements by up to 25%. 3. If the Community Development Director considers a reduction pursuant to this subsection (b), then the Community Development Director’s first priority shall be to require trees along the street frontage and the second priority shall be to require trees within portions of the vehicle use area that are highly visible from any street.

No. 95-15-111, § 1, 11-9-15) DIVISION 9. - FLORIDA-FRIENDLY LANDSCAPING AND LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION Sec. 24-1778. -– Florida-Friendly Landscaping and Landscape IrrigationPurpose and intent. The Florida Legislature finds that the use of Florida-friendly landscaping and other water conservation and pollution prevention measures intended to conserve or protect the state's water Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 267 of 310 176 resources serve a compelling public interest and that the participation of homeowners' associations and local governments is essential to the state's efforts in water conservation and water quality protection and restoration, and that Florida-friendly landscaping designs offer significant potential for water conservation benefits. It is the intent of the Florida Legislature to improve landscape irrigation water use efficiency by ensuring that landscape irrigation systems meet or exceed minimum design criteria by requiring local governments to implement regulations to that end. (Ord. No. 90-10-213, § 1(Exh. A), 10-25-10) Sec. 24-179. - Florida-friendly landscaping defined. Florida-friendly landscaping means quality landscapes that conserve water, protect the environment, are adaptable to local conditions, and are drought tolerant. The principles of such landscaping include planting the right plant in the right place, efficient watering, appropriate fertilization, mulching, attraction of wildlife, responsible management of yard pests, recycling yard waste, reduction of stormwater runoff, and waterfront protection. Additional components include practices such as landscape planning and design, soil analysis, the appropriate use of solid waste compost, minimizing the use of irrigation, and proper maintenance. (Ord. No. 90-10-213, § 1(Exh. A), 10-25-10) Sec. 24-180. - Definitions. The following definitions are to be used in addition to and in conjunction with those contained in sections 24-17 and 24-176 of this chapter and also chapter 23, protection of trees and native vegetation, of [the] City Code. Automatic irrigation system shall mean an artificial watering system with a programmable controller or timing mechanism designed to automatically transport and deliver water to plants. Emitter shall mean the sprinkler head or other device that discharges water from an irrigation system.High volume irrigation shall mean an irrigation system that does not limit the delivery of water directly to the root zone and which has a minimum flow rate per emitter of thirty (30) gallons per hour (gph) or one-half (.5) gallons per minute (gpm) or greater. High water use hydrozones contain plants that require supplemental watering on a regular basis throughout the year including turf and lawn grasses. Hydrozone shall mean an irrigation watering zone in which plant materials with similar water needs are grouped together. Hydrozone plan shall mean a graphical depiction of the low, moderate and high water use irrigation zones on a lot or parcel and a general reference to the types of plants intended to be placed in each zone. Irrigation zone shall mean the grouping together of any type of watering emitter and irrigation equipment operated simultaneously by the control of a timer and a single valve. Landscaped area as used in this division shall mean the vegetated area of a lot or parcel including planted and natural areas. Low volume or micro irrigation shall mean an irrigation system designed to limit the delivery of water within the root zone. Examples include drip, micro, trickle and soaker systems. Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 268 of 310 177 Native vegetation shall mean any plant species with a geographic distribution indigenous to all or part of the State of Florida as identified in: Wunderlin, R.P.1998, Guide to the Vascular Plants of Florida. University Press of Florida, Gainsville. (Ord. No. 90-10-213, § 1(Exh. A), 10-25-10) Sec. 24-1781. - [General provisions.] Definitions are included in the Definitions Section and are to be used in addition to and in conjunction with chapter 23, Pprotection of Ttrees and Nnative Vvegetation, of [the] City Code. (a) Applicability. Where an automatic irrigation system is required by this Code or installed at the option of the property owner, the provisions of this section shall apply to the following. (the term lot(s) and parcel(s) may be used interchangeably.) (1) Previously undeveloped lots and the common landscaped areas of new subdivisions; or (2) Where new irrigation systems are installed on previously developed lots; or (3) When more than fifty (50) percent of the irrigation system on a lot is replaced. Fifty (50) percent shall be construed to mean more than half the length of lateral irrigation lines or more than half of the emitters. Except as set forth above, these provisions shall not be construed to require changes to permitted or properly installed existing irrigation systems or to landscaping existing as of the effective date of this divisionOctober 25, 2010. These provisions shall also not apply to bonafide agricultural, greenhouse or nursery activities or to golf courses or athletic fields. (b) Appropriate plant selection, location and arrangement. (1) Plant selection. Plants used for Florida-friendly lawns and landscaping should be based upon the plant's compatibility with existing conditions of the site including soil type, moisture and light conditions and size at maturity. Consideration should be given to drought and freeze tolerance plants, and where site conditions are suitable, preference in trees should be given to native vegetation and hardwoods that create shade. Appropriate plants are described within the Florida-friendly Plant List published by the University of Florida, Extension Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS) or as may be found in other qualified sources of horticultural information. (2) Location and arrangement. A key component to saving water and promoting plant health is to group plants in hydrozones according to their water needs. Factors such as soil, climate, sunlight and salt tolerance should also guide the grouping and selection of plants. Low, moderate and high water use hydrozones are described by the following characteristics: a. Low water use hydrozones contain plants that rarely require supplemental watering and that are drought tolerant during extreme dry periods such as native shrubs and vegetation, established trees and ground covers and wooded areas. b. Moderate water use hydrozones contain plants that once established require irrigation every two to three weeks in the absence of rainfall or when they show visible stress such as wilted foliage or pale color. These are typically perennials, seasonal plants and flower beds. c. High water use hydrozones contain plants that require supplemental watering on a regular basis throughout the year. These areas include turf and lawn grasses and Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 269 of 310 178 are typically characterized as high visibility focal points of a landscaping design where high volume irrigation is used. (3) Turf and lawn grasses. Irrigated grass and turf areas shall be considered as high water use hydrozones, and shall be located so that they can be watered using separate irrigation zones. These areas should be consolidated to locations where the functional need calls for lawn and where site conditions are conducive to the health and maintenance of grasses rather than considered as just a fill-in area. For example, despite all efforts, lawn grasses will rarely grow to be healthy and lush under the heavy shade of a dense tree canopy which is emblematic of Atlantic Beach, while ferns, certain ground covers and low-growing native plants flourish with little attention. (4) Irrigation system design. Automatic irrigation systems shall be designed to meet the requirements of Appendix F of the Florida Plumbing Code, as adopted by chapter 6, article IV of City Code and also the requirements of section 22-39 of City Code. The following shall also be incorporated into the automatic irrigation system design: a. High water use hydrozones shall be located on a separate irrigation zone. b. High volume irrigation is limited to sixty (60) percent of the total landscaped area of the lot. For lawns and turf areas that exceed sixty (60) percent of the total landscaped area of the lot, low volume irrigation may be used as needed. c. At least one (1) moisture sensor shall be located in each irrigation zone. d. Emitters shall be sized and spaced to avoid excessive overspray on to impervious surfaces. (c) Hydrozone plans. Where an automatic irrigation system is installed and an irrigation system permit is required, a hydrozone plan shall be submitted in accordance with the following. Hydrozone plans can be prepared by a properly licensed and qualified contractor or by the property owner. (1) For new single-family or two-family dwellings, or for previously developed lots installing a new or modified irrigation system per preceding paragraph (a)(3), the hyrdrozone plan may be depicted on a survey or on a site plan prepared by the owner or the owner's agent indicating area(s) to be irrigated, location and specifications of particular low, moderate and high water use areas on the plan with the percentage of the landscaped area using high volume irrigation indicated. Recognizing that homeowners often install their own irrigation systems, a survey accurate hydrozone plan shall not be required in such cases, but the hydrozone plan should generally depict all hydrozones, as described in preceding paragraph (b)(2). At a minimum, high water use areas using high volume irrigation must be on a separate irrigation zone. (2) All other development, except as described by the preceding paragraph, shall provide a landscape plan as required by section 24-177. Hydrozone details may be shown on the landscape plan or on a separate sheet drawn at the same scale as the landscape plan. In addition to the landscape plan requirements of section 24-177, the hydrozone plan shall delineate landscape areas, major landscape features, and plant selections and low, medium and high water Hydrozones consistent with preceding paragraph (b). (3) Prior to receiving final landscape plan approval, final inspection or certificate of occupancy as may be applicable, written verification must be provided by a properly Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 270 of 310 179 licensed qualified contractor, or the property owner, verifying that all irrigated areas are consistent with this divisionsection. (Ord. No. 90-10-213, § 1(Exh. A), 10-25-10) DIVISION 10. - FLORIDA-FRIENDLY USE OF FERTILIZER ON URBAN LANDSCAPES Sec. 24-17982. - [Florida-friendly use of fertilizer on urban landscapes.] (a) Findings. As a result of impairment to the City of Atlantic Beach's surface waters caused by excessive nutrients, or, as a result of increasing levels of nitrogen in the surface water within the boundaries of the City of Atlantic Beach, the governing body of the City of Atlantic Beach has determined that the use of fertilizers on lands within the City of Atlantic Beach creates a risk to contributing to adverse effects on surface and/or ground water. Accordingly, the City Commission of the City of Atlantic Beach finds that management measures contained in the most recent edition of the "Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries, 2008," may be required by this divisionsection. (b) Purpose and intent. This divisionsection regulates the proper use of fertilizers by any applicator; requires proper training of commercial and institutional fertilizer applicators; establishes training and licensing requirements; establishes a prohibited application period; specifies allowable fertilizer application rates and methods, fertilizer-free zones, low maintenance zones, and exemptions. The divisionsection requires the use of best management practices which provide specific management guidelines to minimize negative secondary and cumulative environmental effects associated with the misuse of fertilizers. These secondary and cumulative effects have been observed in and on the City of Atlantic Beach's natural and constructed stormwater conveyances, rivers, creeks, ponds, and other water bodies. Collectively, these water bodies are an asset critical to the environmental, recreational, cultural and economic well-being of the City of Atlantic Beach residents and the health of the public. Overgrowth of algae and vegetation hinder the effectivene ss of flood attenuation provided by natural and constructed stormwater conveyances. Regulation of nutrients, including both phosphorus and nitrogen contained in fertilizer, will help improve and maintain water and habitat quality. (c) Definitions. For this division, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth in this section unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Application or apply means the actual physical deposit of fertilizer to turf or landscape plants, whether solid or liquid product is used. Applicator means any person who applies fertilizer on turf and/or landscape plants in the City of Atlantic Beach. Board or governing board shall means the City Commission of the City of Atlantic Beach, Florida. Best management practices means turf and landscape practices or combination of practices based on research, field-testing, and expert review, determined to be the most effective and practicable on-location means, including economic and technological considerations, for improving water quality, conserving water supplies and protecting natural resources.

Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 271 of 310 180 Commercial fertilizer applicator , except as provided in F.S. § 482.1562(9), means any person who applies fertilizer for payment or other consideration to property not owned by the person or firm applying the fertilizer or the employer of the applicator. Fertilize , fertilizing , or fertilization means the act of applying fertilizer to turf, specialized turf, or landscape plants. Fertilizer means any substance or mixture of substances that contains one (1) or more recognized plant nutrients and promotes plant growth, or controls soil acidity or alkalinity, or provides other soil enrichment, or provides other corrective measures to the soil. Guaranteed analysis means the percentage of plant nutrients or measures of neutralizing capability claimed to be present in a fertilizer. Institutional applicator means any person, other than a private, non-commercial or a commercial applicator (unless such definitions also apply under the circumstances), that applies fertilizer for the purpose of maintaining turf and/or landscape plants. Institutional applicators shall include, but shall not be limited to, owners, managers or employees of public lands, schools, parks, religious institutions, utilities, industrial or business sites and any residential properties maintained in condominium and/or common ownership. Landscape plant means any native or exotic tree, shrub, or groundcover (excluding turf). Low maintenance zone means an area a minimum of ten (10) feet wide adjacent to water courses which is planted and managed in order to minimize the need for fertilization, watering, mowing, etc. Prohibited application period means the time period during which a flood watch or warning, or a tropical storm watch or warning, or a hurricane watch or warning is in effect for any portion of Atlantic Beach, issued by the National Weather Service, or if heavy rainfall is likely. (World Meteorological Organization definition of heavy rain: Rainfall greater than or equal to two (2) inches in a twenty-four-hour period. http://severe.worldweather.org/rain/, and forecast keyword "likely"). The City of Atlantic Beach Approved Best Management Practices Training Program means a training program approved per F.S. § 403.9338, or any more stringent requirements set forth in this article that includes the most current version of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's "Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries, 2008," as revised, and approved by the City of Atlantic Beach Public Works Director. Saturated soil means a soil in which the voids are filled with water. Saturation does not require flow. For the purposes of this division, soils shall be considered saturated if standing water is present or the pressure of a person standing on the soil causes the release of free water. Slow release , controlled release , timed release , slowly available , or water insoluble nitrogen means nitrogen in a form which delays its availability for plant uptake and use after application, or which extends its availability to the plant longer than a reference rapid or quick release product. Turf, sod, or lawn means a piece of grass-covered soil held together by the roots of the grass. Urban landscape means pervious areas on residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, highway rights-of-way, or other nonagricultural lands that are planted with turf or horticultural plants. Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 272 of 310 181 (dc) Applicability. This divisionsection shall be applicable to and shall regulate any and all applicators of fertilizer and areas of application of fertilizer within the area of the City of Atlantic Beach, unless such applicator is specifically exempted by the terms of this divisionsection from the regulatory provisions of this divisionsection. This divisionsection does not restrict any homeowner or residents from applying fertilizers on their landscape as they deem necessary, but they are strongly recommended to follow the guidelines included herein. This divisionsection shall be prospective only, and shall not impair any existing contracts. (ed) Timing of fertilizer application. No applicator shall apply fertilizers containing nitrogen and/or phosphorus to turf and/or landscape plants during the prohibited application period, or to saturated soils. (fe) Fertilizer free zones. Fertilizer shall not be applied within ten (10) feet of any pond, stream, watercourse, pond, lake, canal, or wetland as defined by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Chapter 62-340, FACFlorida Administrative Code) or from the top of a seawall, unless a deflector shield, drop spreader, or liquid applicator with a visible and sharply defined edge, is used, in which case a minimum of three (3) feet shall be maintained. If more stringent City of Atlantic Beach Code regulations apply, this provision does not relieve the requirement to adhere to the more stringent regulations. Newly planted turf and/or landscape plants may be fertilized in this zone only for a sixty-day period beginning thirty (30) days after planting if needed to allow the plants to become well established. Caution shall be used to prevent direct deposition of nutrients into the water. (gf) Low maintenance zones. A voluntary ten-foot low maintenance zone is strongly recommended, but not mandated, from any pond, stream, water course, lake, wetland or from the top of a seawall. A swale/berm system is recommended for installation at the landward edge of this low maintenance zone to capture and filter runoff. If more stringent City of Atlantic Beach Code regulations apply, this provision does not relieve the requirement to adhere to the more stringent regulations. No mowed or cut vegetative material may be deposited or left remaining in this zone or deposited in the water. Care should be taken to prevent the over-spray of aquatic weed products in this zone. (hg) Fertilizer content and application rates. (1) Fertilizers applied to turf within the City of Atlantic Beach shall be formulated and applied in accordance with requirements and directions provided by Rule 5E-1.003(2), FACFlorida Administrative Code, Labeling Requirements for Urban Turf Fertilizers. (2) Fertilizer containing nitrogen or phosphorus shall not be applied before seeding or sodding a site, and shall not be applied for the first thirty (30) days after seeding or sodding, except when hydro-seeding for temporary or permanent erosion control in an emergency situation (wildfire, etc.), or in accordance with the stormwater pollution prevention plan for that site. (3) Nitrogen or phosphorus fertilizer shall not be applied to turf or landscape plants except as provided in [subsection] (1) above for turf, or in UF/IFAS recommendations for landscape plants, vegetable gardens, and fruit trees and shrubs, unless a soil or tissue deficiency has been verified by an approved test. (ih) Application practices. (1) Spreader deflector shields are required when fertilizing via rotary (broadcast) spreaders. Deflectors must be positioned such that fertilizer granules are deflected away from all Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 273 of 310 182 streets, driveways and other impervious surfaces, fertilizer-free zones and water bodies, including wetlands. (2) Fertilizer shall not be applied, spilled, or otherwise deposited on any impervious surfaces. (3) Any fertilizer applied, spilled, or deposited, either intentionally or accidentally, on any impervious surface shall be immediately and completely removed to the greatest extent practicable. (4) Fertilizer released on an impervious surface must be immediately contained and either legally applied to turf or any other legal site, or returned to the original or other appropriate container. (5) In no case shall fertilizer be washed, swept, or blown off impervious surfaces into stormwater drains, ditches, conveyances, or water bodies. (ji) Management of grass clippings and vegetative matter. In no case shall grass clippings, vegetative material, and/or vegetative debris be washed, swept, or blown off into stormwater drains, ditches, conveyances, water bodies, wetlands, or sidewalks or roadways. Any material that is accidentally so deposited shall be immediately removed to the maximum extent practicable. (kj) Exemptions.

The intent of these regulations is to protect and safeguard the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the City of Atlantic Beach by establishing wellhead protection measures that safeguard the Floridan Aquifer from intrusion of any contaminants that may jeopardize present and future public water supply wells in the City of Atlantic Beach. It is also the intent of the City of Atlantic Beach to augment policies adopted in the comprehensive plan that address the protection of public potable water wells. (Ord. No. 90-10-212, § 2(Exh. A), 3-8-10) Sec. 24-263. - Definitions. Faulty well means any well completed into the Floridan Aquifer or Hawthorne GROUP which does not meet the requirements as specified in this section 24-266. Hawthorne Group well means any well that penetrates a portion of the Hawthorne Formation, with a screened or open hole segment terminating within the Hawthorne Formation. Potable water means water which is intended for drinking, culinary or domestic purposes subject to compliance with state and federal drinking water standards. Private well means a shallow aquifer, Hawthorne, or Floridan well that is not a public potable water well. Public potable water well means any water well completed into the Floridan Aquifer, which supplies potable water to a community water system or to a nontransient, noncommunity water system, as those terms are defined in Rule 62-521.200, Florida Administrative Code. Public water supply utility or "utility" means the owner of a public potable water well or wellfield. Risk of contamination means the existence of a faulty Floridan or Hawthorne well located within a wellhead protection area, a source of contamination, and/or a gradient in the shallow aquifer towards the faulty Floridan or Hawthorne well, creating a threat to a Public Potable Water well due to cross contamination between aquifers or source waters. Wellfield means more than one (1) public potable water well owned by a public water supply utility in close proximity to each other. Wellhead protection area means an area consisting of a 500-foot radial setback distance around a public potable water well or wellfield where the most stringent measures are provided to protect the ground water sources for a potable water well and includes the surface and subsurface area surrounding the well. Wellhead protection area map means a map showing the location of the boundary of each of the wellhead protection areas. (Ord. No. 90-10-212, § 2(Exh.

Specific to this division are the following terms: Environmental assessment shall mean a study and a written report prepared in accordance with the State of Florida's approved methodology for wetlands determination in accordance with Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 301 of 310 210 Section 373.421, Florida Statutes and Section 62-340.300 of the Florida Administrative Code for verification and identification of environmental and habitat characteristics. The environmental assessment shall include a delineation of onsite wetlands and native upland habitat, as well a s an identification of any protected animal species or habitat found on the site. The city may accept an assessment prepared by a licensed environmental professional and may also require the applicant to obtain a formal wetland determination by the St. Johns River Water Management District. Intertidal zone (or littoral zone) is the area along a shore that lies between the high and low tide marks, bridging the gap between land and water. At high tide, the intertidal zone is submerged beneath the water, and at low tide it is exposed to air. Isolated wetland shall mean a wetland area that is not part of a surface water tributary system and which is defined by the following characteristics: (a) Non-navigable tributaries that do not typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically at least three (3) months each year); (b) Wetlands that are adjacent to such tributaries; and (c) Wetlands that are adjacent to but that do not directly adjoin a relatively permanent non- navigable tributary. Mean high water line shall mean that line established by a Florida Professional Surveyor and Mapper in accordance with Section 177.26, Florida Statutes, which establishes the boundary line along navigable waters between submerged lands including the foreshore, owned by the state in its sovereign capacity, and uplands which may be subject to private ownership. Natural resource based recreation shall mean activities, such as kayaking, canoeing, rowing, biking, hiking, bird-watching, fishing from small nonmotorized boats or the bank and similar activities that do not involve motorized vehicles or watercraft, but that allow interaction with nature in a manner that does not damage, disrupt of interfere with the natural setting of the resource. Upland buffer shall mean areas of upland surrounding a delineated jurisdictional wetland boundary set aside from development. Such buffers protect wetlands from the impacts of adjacent land use. Wetlands serve essential ecological functions such as reducing downstream stormwater flow, recharging ground water, improving water quality and providing wildlife habitat. Buffers help wetlands function by filtering storm runoff from surrounding development, trapping sediment, absorbing nutrients, and attenuating high flows. Buffers also provide high quality wildlife habitat areas and physically separate wetlands and estuaries from developed areas in order to lessen noise, light and chemical pollution and other associated disturbances by humans. Upland buffers shall remain substantially in their undisturbed and natural state as set forth within following subsection (e) of this division. (Ord. No. 90-10-212, § 2(Exh. A), 3-8-10) Sec. 24-2712. - Environmental assessment and protection of wetlands and environmentally sensitive areas. (a) Environmental assessment required. The wetlands and the environmentally sensitive areas maps (Map A-2 and A-4) as contained within the city's comprehensive plan identify areas that are presumed to have wetlands or significant environmental features. City staff may also require an environmental assessment if a wetland or environmentally sensitive area is suspected on a site that is not shown on the wetlands or environmentally sensitive areas maps. Where a development permit is sought in such areas, an environmental assessment Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 302 of 310 211 of the site and the potential for impacts to the presumed resource shall be provided by the applicant seeking such permit. The environmental assessment shall include a delineation of onsite wetlands and native upland habitat, as well as an identification of any protected animal species or habitat found on the site. The city may accept an assessment prepared by a licensed environmental professional and may also require the applicant to obtain a formal wetland determination by the St. Johns River Water Management District. (b) Where the environmental assessment determines that natural jurisdictional wetlands remaining on the site have been damaged or degraded over time through previous development, storm events, improper drainage runoff or other adverse activities, but where wetland vegetation and habitat are predominant in quantity on a proposed development site, all plans submitted for review or permitting shall demonstrate a plan for restoration, enhancement, mitigation or recovery of remaining jurisdictional wetlands. Restated, it is the express intent of the city that no net loss of jurisdictional wetlands occurs through any development action within the city. (c) Buffers required from wetlands. The following upland buffers shall be required, except for lands adjacent to isolated wetlands. Upland buffers shall be measured from the St. Johns River Water Management District or Florida Department of Environmental Protection Wetlandstate’s jurisdictional wetland boundary line. Such buffers protect wetlands from the impacts of adjacent land use. Wetlands serve essential ecological functions such as reducing downstream stormwater flow, recharging ground water, improving water quality and providing wildlife habitat. Buffers help wetlands function by filtering storm runoff from surrounding development, trapping sediment, absorbing nutrients, and attenuating high flows. Buffers also provide high quality wildlife habitat areas and physically separate wetlands and estuaries from developed areas in order to lessen noise, light and chemical pollution and other associated disturbances by humans. Upland buffers shall remain substantially in their undisturbed and natural state. (1) For development occurring followingafter the March 8, 2010, effective date of these amended land development regulations, a natural vegetative buffer a minimum of fifty (50) feet in width shall be required and maintained between developed areas and jurisdictional wetlands adjacent to the tributaries, streams, or other water bodies connected to the intracoastal waterway regardless of any other regulatory agency requirement of a lesser distance. Such portions of these tributaries, streams, or other water bodies subject to this buffer requirement shall be established by the presence of a mean high water line for the applicable tributary, stream or other water body. (2) AFor development occurring after March 8, 2010, a natural vegetative buffer, which is a minimum width of twenty-five (25) feet, shall be maintained between development and all other jurisdictional wetlands not described in the preceding paragraph. In cases where the minimum twenty-five-foot buffer is demonstrated to be unreasonable or impractical, an averaged twenty-five-foot undisturbed buffer with a minimum no less than fifteen (15) feet may be provided. (d) Exceptions to the upland buffer requirements. (1) Man-made canals and stormwater facilities are not considered wetlands, although in some cases, man-made navigable canals connected to waters of the state are protected under these provisions or by regulations of state or federal agencies. For the purposes of this article, Mman-made canals and ponds clearly excavated in uplands are not considered wetlands and are exempt from the wetland buffer regulations. Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 303 of 310 212 (2) Determinations of vested rights which may supersede the requirement for the fifty -foot or twenty-five foot upland buffer as applicable shall be made on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the land development regulations and applicable Florida law. (3) Single-family lots of record platted prior to January 1, 2002, shall be exempt from the fifty-foot wetland buffer requirement, but shall be subject to the twenty-five-foot upland buffer requirement as described in preceding subsection (c)(2). (4) WaiversVariances from the requirement to provide and maintain an upland buffer may be requested in accordance with subsection 24-46(d)65 of this chapter, and where such waivervariance is approved, a berm or swale to retain and filter stormwater runoff from the lot shall be createdrequired. (5) Lots or portions of lots where a lawfully constructed bulkhead, retaining wall, revetment, or the placement of rip-rap was in existence prior to March 8, 2010 the enactment of these regulations shall be exempt from these buffer requirements. (e) Maintenance and permitted activities within upland buffers. To protect water quality and wetland functions, it is crucial to limit contamination, disturbance and clearing within upland buffer areas. It is the intent of the city that required upland buffers shall be maintained in a substantially natural and undisturbed state. With the exception of facilities to provide public access for the recreational use of intracoastal related natural resources, any disturbance or clearing of required upland buffers shall be in accordance with the following provisions. Native vegetation removed or destroyed within the upland buffer is a violation of this code, and the property owner shall be responsible for the restoration of the upland buffer upon order of the code enforcement boardspecial magistrate. (1) The following activities are expressly prohibited in any required upland buffer: a. Filling, dredging or soil compaction by heavy machinery; b. Dumping of any kind including brush, tree and yard waste, weeds, lawn clippings, animal or fish waste, litter and refuse of any type; c. Removal of healthy native trees; d. Clearing of any living native vegetation within the intertidal zone, which typically includes marsh grasses and submerged aquatic vegetation; e. Installation of sod, irrigation, non-native vegetation of any type or any type of plant materials typically requiring the use of lawn pesticides and fertilizers or chemicals of any kind. (2) The following activities are permitted within a required upland buffer subject to obtaining a buffer alteration permit from the city: a. Removal of invasive vegetation following documented verification by the designated administrative officialAdministrator. b. Clearing of understory vegetation as defined by chapter 23 of the city's Municipal Code of Ordinances, andprovided any such clearing shall be approved by the city and if required, the appropriate state or federal agency prior to any form of clearing, alteration or disturbance of the required upland buffer. c. Minimum clearing of upland and wetland vegetation necessary to construct a properly permitted dock or other improvement to provide lawfully entitled access to navigable waters in accordance with a validly issued and unexpired permit from the Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 304 of 310 213 City of Atlantic Beach, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the St. Johns River Water Management District, and other entity having jurisdiction. d. Activities for the owner or occupant's enjoyment including typical backyard outdoor furniture, gazebos and screen structures not exceeding one hundred (100) square feet in size without electrical or plumbing service, but not swimming pools, hot tubs, ornamental pools, spas or pool houses, and provided that all other conditions of this sectiondivision are met.

Figure 1819 Environmentally Sensitive Areas Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 305 of 310 214 ARTICLE VI. - CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DIVISION 1. - CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Sec. 24-273. - Purpose and intent. (a) The purpose of a concurrency management system is to provide the necessary regulatory mechanism for evaluating development orders to ensure that the level of service standards, as set forth within the adopted comprehensive plan of the City of Atlantic Beach, as may be amended, are maintained. The system consists of three (3) primary components: 1) an inventory of existing public facilities for which concurrency is to be determined, 2) a concurrency assessment of each application for a final development order, and 3) a schedule of improvements needed to correct any existing public facility deficiencies. (b) The intent of this system as expressed by the Florida Legislature is to: Ensure that issuance of a development order is conditioned upon the availability of public facilities and services necessary to serve new development. (Rule 9J-5.0055, Florida Adiministrative Code.) However, development orders may be conditioned such that needed public facilit y improvements will be in place concurrent with the impacts of the proposed development. (c) The terms development order and development permit, including any building permit, zoning permit, subdivision approval, rezoning, special exception, variance, or other official action of the local government having the effect of permitting the development of land, may be used interchangeably within these land development regulations and shall have the meaning as set forth in section 24-17 of this chapter and within Florida Statutes. (Ord. No. 90-10-212, § 2(Exh. A), 3-8-10) Sec. 24-274. - Administrative responsibility. (a) The city manager, or the city manager's designee, shall be responsible for the three (3) primary tasks required to implement the concurrency m anagement system. These three (3) tasks are: (1) Maintaining an inventory of existing public facilities and capacities or deficiencies; (2) Providing advisory concurrency assessments and recommending conditions of approval to the cCity cCommission for those applications for development orders which require cCity cCommission approval; and (3) Reporting the status of all public facilities covered under this system to the cCity cCommission during the annual budget process and to the Florida Ddepartment of Economic Opportunitycommunity affairs, as may be required. (b) The city manager, or the city manager's designee, shall also collect and make available to the public information on those facilities listed in the capital improvements element of the comprehensive plan. This information shall be updated yearly and shall be available during the annual budget preparation process. (Ord. No. 90-10-212, § 2(Exh. A), 3-8-10) Sec. 24-275. - Applicability. Prior to the approval and issuance of a development order, all applications shall be reviewed for concurrency consistent with the provisions and requirements of this concurrency management system. Development orders may be issued only upon a finding by the city that the public facilities Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 306 of 310 215 addressed under the concurrency management system will be available concurrent with the impacts of the development in accordance with state statutes and rules relating to concurrency. (Ord. No. 90-10-212, § 2(Exh. A), 3-8-10) Sec. 24-276. - Projects not requiring a concurrency certificate. (a) Development orders, including building permits issued for single-family and two-family residential development upon existing lots of record, and those issued solely for alteration, remodeling, reconstruction, or restoration of residential units provided that such permits do not authorize an increase in the number of dwelling units; and for nonresidential uses, those permits that do not authorize an increase in the square feet of the development shall be deemed no impact projects and shall not require a concurrency certificate. It shall be the applicant's responsibility to demonstrate and certify this provision in accordance with concurrency review procedures. (b) Applications for development orders for projects, which are deemed to have no impact upon public facilities and services as defined in the preceding paragraph or projects which have acquired statutory or common law vested rights, shall not require a concurrency certificate. It shall be the applicant's responsibility to demonstrate and certify consistency with this provision in accordance with concurrency review procedures. (Ord. No. 90-10-212, § 2(Exh. A), 3-8-10) Sec. 24-277. - Application and review and approval requirements. (a) The city shall provide administrative procedures to implement the concurrency management system. The provisions and requirements of the concurrency management system shall apply only to those facilities listed in the capital improvements element of the comprehensive plan. (b) All applicants for development orders shall be required to provide information as deemed necessary by the city so that the impacts of the proposed development may be accurately assessed. (c) Where a determination of available concurrency is made, a concurrency certificate shall be issued setting forth terms and conditions of the approval. In the case that a concurrency certificate is revoked, denied or expires, the capacity reserved for that project is released for use. (dc) Once a concurrency certificate is issued, any change in land area, use, intensity, density or timing and phasing of the approved project, which results in increased impacts to public facilities and services shall require modification to the concurrency certificate in accordance with established procedures. (dc) Where a determination of available concurrency is made, a concurrency certificate shall be valid for one year following issuance and set forth the issued setting forth terms and conditions of the approval. In the case that a concurrency certificate is revoked, denied or expires, the capacity reserved for that project is released for use. (Ord. No. 90-10-212, § 2(Exh. A), 3-8-10) Agenda Item #9.C. 24 Jun 2019 Page 307 of 310 216 Sec. 24-278. - Timing and completion of required public facility improvements. In order to ensure that all public facilities included within this concurrency management system are available concurrent with the impacts of development, concurrency shall be determined during the review and approval process as applicable for the proposed development and prior to the issuance of a final development order. All final development orders shall specify any needed improvements and a schedule for their implementation consistent with the requirements of this article. Thus, while some required improvements may not have to be completed until a certificate of occupancy is applied for, the requirements for the certificate of occupancy, or functional equivalent, shall have previously been established as a binding condition of approval of the original final development order. If a development proposal cannot meet the test for concurrency, then it may not proceed under any circumstances, and no development orders may be issued. Likewise, if a development fails to meet a condition of approval once it has commenced, then no additional development orders, permits, or certificates of occupancy shall be issued. (Ord. No. 90-10-212, § 2(Exh. A), 3-8-10) Sec. 24-279. - Capacity and level of service inventory. The city manager, or the city manager's designee, shall collect and make available to the public as may be requested, information on capital facilities as identified within the capital improvements element of the adopted comprehensive plan. The information shall be available during the annual budget preparation process. The provisions and requirements of the concurrency management system shall apply only to those facilities as listed within the comprehensive plan. The following data shall be maintained and shall be used for the purpose of concurrency assessment of the impacts of new development: (a) Sanitary sewer. (1) The design capacity of the wastewater treatment facilities. (2) The existing level of service measured by the average number of gallons per day per unit based on the average flows experienced at the treatment plant and the total number of equivalent residential units within the service area.
