(715 Seminole Road) Agenda Item #2.A. 20 Aug 2019 Page 3 of 25 DRAFT Community Development Board July 16, 2019 STAFF REPORT: Planner Broedell presented the information as explained in the staff report. He also provided a PowerPoint presentation. BOARD DISCUSSION: Planner Broedell clarified for the Board some questions regarding getting the tree permit after already removing the trees. He explained that the permit fee is doubled along with the mitigation requirement. Director Corbin said that Lucas Tree Removal had been sited along with the homeowner and that is going before the Code Enforcement Special Magistrate. Ms. Lanier asked why the homeowner wouldn't have needed a permit to remove these 3 threes if they would have been on their property instead of City property. Planner Broedell explained this to the Board. He explained which tree species and tree sizes require a permit. Ms. Paul asked about the next steps that would be taken. Planner Broedell said that if the homeowner files an appeal within 15 days it would go to the Commission. It would then go to the court system. APPLICANT COMMENT: Babur Bhatti introduced himself as the owner of 715 Seminole Road. He said he is a first time homeowner. Mr. Bhatti explained to the Board that there is a fence (shown in Staff's picture) that curves out from the house. He said that the realtor told him that that is also part of the property. He has since found out that the fence and part of his patio is on City property. Mr. Bhatti said that the dead tree was leaning toward the house and it was on the fence line which he thought was his property. He said that Lucas told him they had done their survey and Mr. Bhatti went along with their assessment. Ms. Simmons asked if the fence was there when he bought the home and Mr. Bhatti confirmed that it was. PUBLIC COMMENT: Chair Hansen opened the Public Hearing. Susanne Barker of 1938 Beachside Court spoke against the appeal and in favor of the ESC Tree Subcommittee decision. BOARD DISCUSSION: Ms. Simmons discussed the Board's options (page 10) to issue, deny or modify the permit. Planner Broedell said the Board can modify the permit by changing the required mitigation or placing certain conditions on the permit. Chair Hansen suggested the mitigation for the dead pine tree be removed and the mitigation for the other 2 trees remain. Ms. Lanier agreed with the modification suggestion. Mr. Major said he was in favor of the suggestion. Ms. Paul said she thought the full mitigation should be upheld. She asked Staff if the City would be responsible for the removal of the remaining stump of the tree that was partially cut down due to the stop work order. Director Corbin assumed that the City would be responsible. ACTION: Ms. Lanier motioned to support the tree removal permit with the condition to remove the dead pine tree from the mitigation calculation. Chair Hansen amended the motion asking the homeowner to be responsible for taking down the remainder of the tree stump. Ms. Lanier agreed. Chair Hansen clarified that mitigation will not be required for the dead pine that was removed, full mitigation on the other two trees is required, and homeowner will pay to remove the rest of the tree that was partially removed.

APPLICANT COMMENT: Bill Corley introduced himself as the Chief Legal Officer for the Klotz Group of Companies which includes the owner of this property and the applicant, Ossi Klotz, LLC. He said they are the largest multi-family land owner in the beaches with properties all up and down Mayport Road. Mr. Corley said they are thrilled with the concept of an arts corridor.

ZVAR19-0012 PUBLIC HEARING (Klotz) Variance to increase the maximum distance for off-site parking from 400 feet to 750 feet to allow a portion of the required parking for a proposed mixed use development. STAFF REPORT: Director Corbin presented the information as explained in the staff report. He also provided a PowerPoint presentation. APPLICANT COMMENT: Bill Corley explained to the board that the applicant has purchased another property close to this one and that will provide a lot of parking places. He said there would be valet's to run the cars back and forth, shuttle buses and overflow parking. Ms. Simmons was concerned about mixing the parking with residential. Director Corbin said the extra parking would only be needed for large events where there is a need for overflow parking. PUBLIC COMMENT: Chair Hansen opened the Public Hearing. There were no speakers and the Public Hearing was closed. BOARD DISCUSSION: Ms. Simmons said she was glad that parking was being planned ahead of the project. Ms. Paul said it is good that the applicant already anticipated a problem and they already have a solution for it. Chair Hansen spoke about the change in distance for off-site parking and his concern for future requests of the same. Ms. Simmons said the Board does not set president. Chair Hansen added that if a future applicant was similarly situated it would be hard to deny the request. MOTION: To approve ZVAR19-0012.

REZN19-0005 Request for map amendments to the zoning map for six (6) lots currently zoned as Residential, Single-Family (RS-2) to Special Planned Area (SPA) LOCATIONS 590 Jasmine Street (RE#170891-0010) 0 Jasmine Street (RE#170891-0030) 0 Jasmine Street (RE#170891-0040) APPLICANT JWB Real Estate Capital DATE August 9, 2019 STAFF Amanda Askew, AICP, Principal Planner BACKGROUND Request REZN19-005 is to rezone six (6) contiguous lots from Residential, Single-Family (RS-2) to Special Planned Area (SPA). The vacant property is located at the southwest corner of 6th Street West and Jasmine Street and is approximately 0.71 acre. The applicant is seeking the rezoning to develop the property into three (3) single-family homes accessed off of 6th Street West and leave the southern portion of the property as green space. The purpose of the SPA district is to create a mechanism to establish a plan of development or re- development for a site where the property owner and the community's interests cannot be best served by the provisions of the conventional zoning districts, and where assurances and commit- ments are necessary to protect the interests of both the property owner and the public, and also the unique qualities of the City of Atlantic Beach which are expressed throughout the zoning codes and the Comprehensive Plan. The intent of SPAs are to provide an appropriate zoning district classification for new development and redevelopment where specific development standards and conditions will be established within the enacting ordinance. The quality of design and site planning are the primary objectives of the SPA district. The SPA process should be used where a proposed development or redevelopment project has unique characteristics, special environmental or physical features such that a site development plan is needed as part of the review and approval process. Agenda Item #4.A. 20 Aug 2019 Page 9 of 25 Page 2 of 7 The existing six (6) vacant lots (lot # 1-6) are currently oriented with frontage on the Jasmine Street. This area of Jasmine Street is unpaved. Each lot (lots # 2-6), with the exception of the corner lot (lot # 1), has 50 feet of lot width fronting Jasmine Street. The corner lot has 70 feet of lot width fronting on Jasmine Street. All the lots are 102 feet in depth. Lot # 1 is 7,140 square feet and lots # 2-6 are 5,100 square feet each. All six (6) lots are lots of record and could be developed with a total of 6 single-family homes. The applicant requesting the SPA district and reorienting the lots to face 6th Street W. Each lot has 34 feet of frontage on 6th Street W. and is 170 feet in depth for a total of 5,780 square feet per lot. The remaining area (formerly lots 4-6) is being proposed as green space. The applicant has indi- cated they are willing to donate this property to the city or to leave it as private green space. If the rezoning is approved the applicant will need to plat the property within the SPA to match the approved site layout. EXISTING PROPOSED # of homes Max.

Combine lots 1-3 into three (3) 34’ x 170’ lots (existing lot 1 is 70’ x 102’ and existing lot 2 & 3 are each 50’ x102’) fronting on 6th Street West 2. Provide lots 4, 5 and 6 as conservation/green space by donating to the City of Atlantic Beach 3. Minimum 3’ side yards 4. Minimum 20’ front yards 5. Minimum 20’ rear yards 6. Maximum 45% lot coverage 7. Develop as single-family A phase 1 and phase 2 environmental site assessment reports were conducted for the property. The assessments found recognized environmental conditions (RECs) and business environment risk (BERs) on the south end of the property (the approximate area shown as green space on the proposed SPA layout – lots 4-6). The REC indicates there was marsh on the southern half of the property until the 1970’s at which this area was reworked and appears to have filled in the marsh. This area may have been a former old dump, operated by the City of Atlantic Beach. Reportedly solid waste was brought onto the property to fill in wetlands and low areas with some trenching and above grade trash disposal. The likely presence of un- known buried solid waste at the property is considered a moderate to high environmental risk. The BER reported that used tires and solid waste dumped on the ground surface, and visi- ble evidence of buried solid waste at the south- ern half of the property (lots 4-6 on SPA layout). Removal and proper disposal of the waste would be necessary before the property is suit- able for development. The conclusions and recommendations from the phase 2 environmental site assessment de- notes that further site assessment of the sub- surface soil and groundwater quality is not war- ranted for the property at this time. According the report the buried solid waste identified at the property would most likely involve the re- Figure 2: Environmental Assessment Map Agenda Item #4.A. 20 Aug 2019 Page 11 of 25 Page 4 of 7 moval and off-site disposal of the waste material, and replacement with clean soil should be consid- ered to assure there is a ground surface suitable for building construction. The proposed SPA adapts to the environmental limitations and allows the flexibility to develop the property by placing the building areas away from the areas of buried trash. The proposed SPA has less density than allowable under the current zoning district, has the greater chance of persevering trees, and provides significant previous area for storm water runoff. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Residential Low (RL) density which allows up to 6 units per acre. The requested rezoning change is consistent with multiple goals, objectives, and po- lies established in the Comprehensive Plan. Below are specific policies in the Comprehensive Plan that support the rezoning request. Policy A.1.1.1 Land development within the City shall be permitted only where such development is compatible with environmental limitations of the site and only when submitted plans demonstrate appropriate recognition of topography, soil conditions, flooding conditions, trees, vegetation and other Environmentally Sensitive Areas, including wetlands and coastal resources, and habitat protection of rare, endangered or threatened species and areas of unique natural beauty.
