BOA 260707 Agenda Packet
[3509 Ocean Dr; case BOA#26-100041] Dr. George Tellam is seeking a variance for a northerly side yard setback of 3.5 feet in lieu of 10 feet to allow an outdoor staircase to a single-family home. The property is a substandard lot of record, platted in 1929, with unique physical characteristics due to its narrow configuration. The variance is considered the minimum necessary to accommodate the proposed improvement and allow reasonable use of the property. The planning department recommends approval. [529 N 10th Ave; case BOA#26-100042] CAP Assets LLC is seeking a variance for a rear yard setback of 27.7 feet in lieu of 30 feet for the construction of a new single-family home. The property is a substandard lot of record, platted in 1948, with an area of 7,500 sq. ft. and a width of 75 feet, both below RS-1 minimum standards. The lot depth is also shallow at 85 feet. The variance is considered reasonable and necessary for the redevelopment of the lot. The planning department recommends approval. [27 S 32nd Ave; case BOA#26-100043] Stephanie Gallagher is seeking a variance for a rear yard setback of 15 feet in lieu of 30 feet for the construction of a single-family home. The property is a substandard lot of record, platted in 1983, with an area of 7,835 sq. ft., below the 9,000 sq. ft. minimum. The lot is also irregular in shape, affecting its depth. This is a successive application after a previous denial, with the current request minimizing the previously sought relief. The planning department finds the request reasonable and recommends approval.

1. There are conditions or circumstances that exist which prevent compliance with site design
This item concerns historically platted lots of record that are considered buildable but face unique conditions. The lots are substantially undersized and lack common dimensions for residential lots in the city, creating circumstances not generally applicable to other parcels in the zoning district. These conditions prevent full compliance with current site design and development standards. The Board of Adjustment is reviewing these unique circumstances to allow for development. This review process would likely involve site clearing and grading, followed by utility work, foundation and framing, and then finish trades and landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out early to understand the specific needs as plans develop, as this early engagement can provide an advantage before site plans, bids, and permits are finalized.

1. There are conditions or circumstances that exist which prevent compliance with site design
This item concerns a property located in the City of Jacksonville Beach, Duval County, where special conditions exist due to the irregular shape of the parcel and the location of the current accessory structure. These conditions limit the functional rear yard area and restrict the placement of accessory structures, preventing compliance with standard setback requirements. The Board of Adjustment is reviewing this situation. The review process could lead to site clearing and grading, underground utility work, and the construction of new structures. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in potential future work should engage with the city early in the process before site plans, bids, and permits are finalized.

1. There are conditions or circumstances that exist which prevent compliance with site design
This item concerns a property located in Jacksonville Beach, Duval County, where the owner is seeking relief from standard site design and development rules. The property has special conditions due to its irregular shape, which limits the usable rear yard space and restricts where accessory structures can be placed while meeting setback rules. This matter is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. The project, if approved, would involve site preparation, construction of accessory structures, and potentially landscaping, all while adhering to any modified development standards. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this review process, as early engagement before final permits are issued could offer a competitive advantage for potential work.

1. There are conditions or circumstances that exist which prevent compliance with site design
This item concerns historically platted lots of record in the City of Jacksonville Beach that are considered buildable despite limitations in area and size. These unique conditions make the lots substantially undersized compared to typical residential lots in the city. The Board of Adjustment is reviewing circumstances that prevent compliance with current site design and development standards. This review is early in the public process, indicating a planned development opportunity. The project would likely involve site clearing, grading, utility work, and construction of residential structures. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project scope as plans develop. Early outreach can provide an advantage before site plans, bids, and permits are finalized.
