CRA Agenda Packet July 15, 2026

[11 North Third Street, Jacksonville Beach, Florida; case CRA Resolution 2026-04] The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is considering adopting the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget for both the Downtown and Southend Tax Increment Districts. The total budgeted tax increment proceeds are $15,354,856, with $11,840,339 allocated to the Downtown District and $3,514,517 to the Southend District. The budget includes expenditures for Community Redevelopment and Community Policing (CAPE Program). The CRA will vote to adopt or deny CRA Resolution 2026-04. The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is considering an extension for the Quarter 3 Facade and Safety Grant application review period. The original review date of July 27 has been adjusted due to a Council Retreat, leading to no CRA meeting on that day. The extension will allow applications received before the August 24 CRA meeting to be considered for funding, ensuring applicants are not disadvantaged by the revised schedule. [Southend (from Jacksonville Drive to South Beach Park entrance)] The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is providing an update on the Southend urban trail segment project. The project involves an eight-foot-wide, six-inch-thick concrete sidewalk from Jacksonville Drive to the South Beach Park entrance. The city plans to use existing contractors who have performed similar work. Public notification will include door-to-door outreach, letters, social media, and the city website. The project came in just under budget. The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) received an update on the Passive Park project. The city has obtained all necessary regulatory approvals and certifications, with no special environmental permits or protected resources identified on the site. The plan is to use the same concrete and landscaping contractors as the urban trail segment, with Vanguard handling lighting components. Construction is anticipated to begin in late June, following the completion of the trail segment, with potential overlap in early phases.

July 13, 2026, City Council Briefing agenda packet

The City Council will receive a briefing on the Urban Trails project, which aims to improve pedestrian connectivity throughout the Fletcher School corridor. Conceptual designs are being developed for three specific corridors: Seagate Avenue (Third Street to Penman Road), 10th Street North (Seagate Avenue to 15th Avenue North), and 18th Avenue North (10th Street North to Third Street North). A public outreach meeting was held on May 28, 2026, and feedback has been incorporated into the conceptual alternatives. The Council will be asked if they wish to proceed with these concept designs. The City is considering the creation of a SPARK (Citizen Information Academy Alumni) program to keep graduates engaged and involved in community outreach. A survey of 91 graduates showed strong enthusiasm, with 85% interested in joining and 81% in volunteering. The program aims to share accurate city information, participate in events, and connect neighbors with local government. The Council will be asked to support the program's creation, vision, goals, and budget of $1,605 for startup costs and $750 annually. [North side of the basin at Beach Marine] Dockside Seafood, the current tenant at the City's property north of the basin at Beach Marine, has added cooler space and seating, now totaling 120 seats and a 2,000 sq ft structure. This meets requirements for a 4COP SRX license for full liquor service, but the current lease agreement limits them to a 2COP (beer and wine only) license. The tenant requests an amendment to the lease to allow for a 4COP SRX license. The City Council will discuss if they wish to consider bringing a lease amendment forward. [Jacksonville Beach proper] The City Council will discuss a proposed stand-alone policy for summer camps and tournaments on the beach, which would replace a revision to Section 6-5(a) of the City Code. The policy aims to define 'fitness-related' and 'camp', create a fee schedule, remove the local business tax receipt requirement, and remove the requirement for a place of business west of the bulkhead line. A draft policy is provided, mirroring the Special Event policy, requiring an approved Camp/Tournament Permit with a $200 non-refundable application fee. The Council will be asked if there is consensus to refine the policy and create a fee schedule for formal action.

[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.
