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 179 Cily ref Atlantic Beach Land Development Regulations Update (c) (3) are typically characterized as high visibility focal points of a landscaping design where high volume irrigation is used. 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 Iow-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, Iow 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. Hydrazone 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 hyidrozone 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 Iow, 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 Iow, medium and high water Hydrozones consistent with preceding paragraph (b). 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 (3) 180 • ON of Atlantic Beach Land Development Regulations Update licensed qualified contractor, or the property owner, verifying that all irrigated areas are consistent with this dw+si section. (Ord, No, 90-10-213, § 1(Exh, A), 10-25-10) 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 div eioasection. (b) Purpose and intent. This EiMeriansection 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 divistecsection 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 effectiveness 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.

(b) Using the city's and St. Johns River Water Management District's (SJRWMD) water well database, the city shall map private well locations within the wellhead protection areas and shall assess the depth, use, and condition of each identified private well from available records, The city shall identify wells known or likely to penetrate the Hawthorne Group and/or Floridan Aquifer within each wellhead protection area. Thereafter, the city shall have authority to conduct an investigation of each well into the Hawthorne Group and Floridan Aquifer to determine the condition of the well and its potential as a contaminant pathway into the Floridan Aquifer. The investigation may include a request for records of the well construction, regulatory reports, maintenance logs or other documents and data records available from the owner or from regulatory agencies. (c) The city shall have the right to assess to the best of its ability whether any wells are located within, or downgradient in the shallow aquifer gradient from a contaminated site within a wellhead protection area. The city shall determine the condition of the well to prevent the migration of contaminants from non -Floridan aquifers to the Floridan Aquifer based on the applicable regulatory standards of design and installation, and proper maintenance practices including but not limited to the following: (1) Proper grout seal outside of the casing; (2) Presence of an approved and certified backflow prevention device if required; (3) Proper sanitary seal on wellhead; (4) Concrete pad around wellhead; (5) Surface water drainage; (6) Well casing integrity; and (7) Properly maintained pumping and distribution systems. (d) It shall be the responsibility of the city to determine that a public potable water well is at risk of contamination. Once this determination has been made, the city may identify the specific contaminants of concern, and report to the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) and Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP).

(a) Environmental assessment required. The wetlands and the environmentally sensitive areas maps (Map A-2 and A-4) as contained within the sCity's sComprehensive {Plan identify areas that are presumed to have wetlands or significant environmental features. City staff may also re uire an environmental assessment if a wetland or environmentall 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 212 C;il:y of Mtianiic Beach Land Development Regulations Update 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 fit: -Johns Wetlastate's jurisdictional wetland boundary line. Such buffers protect wetlands from the impacts of adiacentland use. Wetlands serve essential ecological functions such as reducing downstream stormwater flow, recharging ground water, improving water Quality and providing wildlife habitat. Buffers helwetlands function b filterin* storm runoff from surroundin. 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 follow after 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 inimum 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. 213 111 City of Atlantic Beach Land Development Regulations Update SM. (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 Tots 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) WeiveFsvariances from the requirement to provide and maintain an upland buffer may be requested in accordance with subsection 24-46(065 of this chapter, and where such waivariance is approved, a berm or swale to retain and filter stormwater runoff from the lot shall be sreatedrequired, 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 + t 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 ' 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 bonrdSpecial 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 odminictrative 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 (5) 214 City of Atlantic Beach Land Development Regulations Update City of Atlantic Beach, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the St, Johns River Water Management District, and other entity having jurisdiction. d.

(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 ' - - ' , . - ••' - - - - _ _ _ , However, development orders may be conditioned such that needed public facility improvements will be in place concurrent with the impacts of the proposed development. 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. (c) (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 management 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 °City °Commission for those applications for development orders which require °City °Commission approval; and (3) Reporting the status of all public facilities covered under this system to the °City °Commission during the annual budget process and to the Florida Ddepartment of Economic OpoortunitvGammuaitbaffaifs, as may be required. (b) The °City €4Manager, 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 pPlan. 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 216 • t ltti/ 01 Atlantic: f c:oc Land Development Regulations Update 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 eComprehensive {Plan.

No. 90-10-212, § 2(Exh, A), 3-8-10) 217 City of Atlantic Beach Land Development Regulations Update BEM Sec. 24-27g. - 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.

The GCity mManager, 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 pPlan. 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 pPlan. The fallowing 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.
