3 RESIDENTIAL The residential categories primarily allow for single-family dwellings, multi-family dwellings, group homes, foster care facilities, community residential homes and other congregate living facilities in appropriate locations. Not included are hotels, motels, campgrounds, travel trailer parks for the transient population, and similar other commercial facilities. Also excluded are facilities such as jails, prisons, hospitals, sanitariums and similar other facilities and dormitories, etc. Areas depicted for residential uses are shown under four residentially dominated plan categories; Rural Residential (RR), Low Density Residential (LDR), Medium Density Residential (MDR), and High Density Residential (HDR). Various housing types, ranging from detached single-family dwelling units to attached multi-family structures are allowed in the various categories. In order to encourage infill and redevelopment on existing lots of record within the Urban Development Areas (UPA and UA), the net density may exceed the allowable gross density limitation specified herein, provided such density is consistent with the applicable Land Development Regulation for such area. Pre-existing residential units may be restored to residential use at their original or historically significant (i.e., as existing 50 years previous) density, regardless of the land use plan category, as long as there is not an adopted Neighborhood Action Plan recommending against it and they are made consistent with all other applicable Land Development Regulations for the area. Achievement of the density ranges of the various categories will only be permitted when full urban services are available to the development site, subject to the provisions of this and other applicable elements of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. It is not the intent of this plan to permit maximum allowable densities throughout the area depicted for a particular land use category on the Future Land Use Map series. Land Development Regulations that will be developed to implement the plan shall ensure that several development districts are established within each residential category to allow a variety of lot sizes and development densities. Accordingly, the average residential density in each category will be much lower than the maximum allowable density. Notwithstanding the density limitation of the residential categories, one dwelling unit will be permitted on any nonconforming lot of record, which was existing on the effective date of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan. Development on such nonconforming lots of record shall be subject to all other plan provisions. Residential Secondary Uses: The following secondary uses are permitted in all residential land use categories subject to the provisions of this and other elements of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan: Neighborhood supporting recreation facilities and public facilities, such as Schools, Churches and places of worship, Day care centers, Fire stations, Libraries, Community centers, Essential services, as well as supporting commercial retail sales and service establishments and Home occupations. Golf, yacht, tennis and country clubs; Driving ranges; Community residential homes; Cemeteries and mausoleums but not funeral homes or mortuaries; Bed and breakfast establishments in appropriate locations in the designated historic residential districts. In addition to the above, the following secondary uses may be permitted subject to the provisions of each residential land use category: Nursing homes; Emergency shelter homes; Foster care homes; Rooming houses; Residential treatment facilities; Private clubs; Animals other than household pets; Borrow pits; and Drive through facilities associated with a permitted use. In order to encourage a more compact development pattern, mixed use, Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND), planned unit and cluster developments are allowed in all plan categories allowing predominantly residential uses. These types of conditionally controlled developments, whether at a development of regional impact (DRI) scale or below, shall meet the connectivity criteria of this element but are exempt from application of the nodal and roadway classification criteria of this element in their internal site designs. Not all principal or secondary uses stated above are permitted in all residential land use categories. The intensity and range of uses permitted in a specific land use category are subject to the provisions of this and other elements of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, and all applicable Land Development Regulations.

COMMUNITY/GENERAL COMMERCIAL (CGC) CGC - GENERAL INTENT Community General Commercial (CGC) is a category intended to provide for a wide variety of retail goods and services which serve large areas of the City and a diverse set of neighborhoods. Uses should generally be developed in nodal and corridor development patterns. Nodes are generally located at major roadway intersections and corridor development should provide continuity between the nodes and serve adjacent neighborhoods in order to reduce the number of Vehicle Miles Traveled. Development within the category should be compact and connected and should support multi-modal transportation. All uses should be designed in a manner which emphasizes the use of transit, bicycle, and pedestrian mobility, ease of access between neighboring uses, and compatibility with adjacent residential neighborhoods. Transit-Oriented Developments (TOD), as defined in this element, are encouraged when in close proximity to an existing or planned JTA mass transit system station or Rapid Transit System (RTS). Density, location and mix of uses shall be pursuant to the Development Areas as set forth herein. CGC - GENERAL NEIGHBORHOOD PROTECTION Compatibility with adjacent and abutting residential neighborhoods shall be achieved through the implementation of site design techniques including but not limited to: transitions in uses; buffering; setbacks; the orientation of open space; and graduated height restrictions to affect elements such as height, scale, mass and bulk of structures, pedestrian accessibility, vehicular traffic, circulation, access and parking impacts, landscaping, lighting, noise and odor.

CGC Urban Development Area May 2014 Page 1 of 3

6 When developing mixed uses, residential uses shall be arranged on the site to provide a use transition between new non-residential uses and the protected abutting residential land uses to the greatest extent feasible. Elements such as yards, open space, at-grade parking and perimeter walls shall be arranged, designed and landscaped in a manner compatible with adjacent areas to serve as a visual buffering element. CGC - URBAN AREA (UA) INTENT CGC in the Urban Area is intended to provide compact development in nodal and corridor development patterns, while promoting the advancement of existing commercial land uses and the use of existing infrastructure. Development that includes residential uses is preferred to provide support for commercial and other uses. Plan amendment requests for new CGC designations are preferred in locations which are supplied with full urban services and which abut a roadway classified as an arterial or higher on the Functional Highway Classification Map.

21 LEGAL ISSUES RELATED TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN S FUTURE LAND USE MAP ( FLUM ) AMENDMENT PROCESS The following brief summary of legal issues related to FLUM amendments is provided pursuant to Section (a)(12), (13) and (14) of the Jacksonville Municipal Code: Legislative vs. Quasi-judicial Functions of Local Government. Local government boards such as the City Council have different functions. Generally, the City Council makes decisions and takes final actions which fall into two main categories - those which are legislative in nature and those which are quasi-judicial. Depending upon the nature of the decision and the type of hearing, the City Council may act in either a legislative capacity or in a quasi-judicial capacity. Future Land Use Map ( FLUM ) amendments are legislative decisions of the City Council. In contrast, when the City Council rezones property, as it often does after the FLUM is amended or as a companion to the FLUM amendment, it is almost always acting in a quasi-judicial capacity. What is the difference between a legislative decision and a quasi-judicial decision? It is the type and character of the hearing which determines whether the actions of the City Council are legislative (policy-making) or quasi-judicial (policy implementation or policy application). Legislative action results in the formulation of a general rule or policy and allows broad discretion in making the decision. Quasi-judicial action results in the implementation or application of a general rule or policy and allows less room for discretion to be exercised, since the decision must be based on competent, substantial evidence. It is important to understand the difference between these two types of decisions because, in the event a decision is challenged, the standard of review used by a court on appeal is different, depending on whether the final action is legislative or quasi-judicial in nature. The appellate review of a legislative decision such as a FLUM amendment results in a new proceeding wherein parties have the opportunity to present testimony, evidence and witnesses to a new decision-maker. The standard of review which applies to a legislative decision is the fairly debatable standard; as its name implies, this is a very deferential standard that generally operates to prevent a court from substituting its judgment for that of the City Council. The standard of review which applies to a quasi-judicial decision is much less deferential and based entirely on the record of the proceedings before the City Council. The court will look at the record to determine 3 things: (1) whether there is competent, substantial evidence to support the decision; (2) whether the City Council observed the essential requirements of law; and (3) whether procedural due process was provided. If the court finds that any one of these 3 requirements has not been met, it will remand the matter back to the City Council for further action. Criteria Upon Which FLUM Amendment is Evaluated and Council s Decision is Based. The FLUM amendment process is governed by Sections and , Florida Statutes and Chapter 650, Ordinance Code. The main criteria with respect to a proposed FLUM amendment is whether it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. This is not always a clear and easy determination which is based solely upon the Future Land Use Maps. In addition to reviewing the maps, City planners must review, analyze and weigh a number of different and sometimes competing Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives and policies. In its review of each application for a FLUM amendment, the Planning and Development Department and the City Council consider the following criteria: (1) The relationship of the data and information in the application to the social, economic, physical, environmental, historic and archaeological resources of the city and the projections of future growth, including an analysis of the impact of the proposed change on the amount of land required to accommodate anticipated growth and projected population; (2) The impact of the proposed amendment(s) on the public facilities and services and the Capital Improvements Element (CIE) of the comprehensive plan; (3) The relationship of the proposed amendment(s) to the applicable goals, objectives, policies, criteria and standards, including level of service standards, adopted in the comprehensive plan; (4) The relationship of the proposed amendment(s) to the existing and future land uses depicted on the FLUMs; (5) Other professional planning principles, standards, information and more detailed plans and studies considered relevant; and (6) Written comments, evidence and testimony of the public. Burden of Proof; Evidence and Testimony. The applicant for a FLUM amendment has the burden of proof to show that the amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, based upon the above criteria. Great weight is given to the recommendation of the professional planning staff, because these determinations are often made based on Comprehensive Plan data and analysis. The type of testimony and evidence that is allowable, relevant and legally sufficient must be credible, factual and relevant to the application. Evidence which is speculative or based on fears about negative future effects is not helpful. Expert opinions and/or testimony, such as from appraisers or planners, although not required, may be very helpful in certain instances. If appealed, the City Council s decision on a FLUM amendment is presumed to be correct and will be sustained as long as it is fairly debatable, unless it is shown by a preponderance of the evidence that the amendment is not in compliance with Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes. NOTE: Matters involving land use decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case. Citizens with specific questions about what is or is not adequate testimony should consult an attorney.

22 LEGAL ISSUES RELATED TO REZONING APPLICATIONS The following brief summary of legal issues related to rezoning applications is provided pursuant to Section (11), (12) and (13) of the Zoning Code: Legislative vs. Quasi-judicial Functions of Local Government. Local government boards such as the City Council have different functions. Generally, the City Council makes decisions and takes final actions which fall into two main categories - those which are legislative in nature and those which are quasi-judicial.

If the court finds that any one of these 3 requirements has not been met, it will remand the matter back to the City Council for further action. Criteria Upon Which Rezoning Application is Evaluated and Council s Decision to Rezone is Based; Burden of Proof. An applicant for a proposed rezoning has the initial burden of proof to show, by competent, substantial evidence, that the rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. In order to successfully meet this burden, the applicant must demonstrate not only that the proposed rezoning is consistent with the FLUM, but also that it furthers the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and that it is not in conflict with the City s Land Use Regulations. If the applicant demonstrates that the proposed rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and there is no competent, substantial evidence, such as a Planning and Development Department finding to the contrary, the burden of proof then shifts to the City Council to demonstrate that maintaining the existing land use classification accomplishes a legitimate public purpose. This can be accomplished only if testimony and/or evidence is provided at a public hearing or submitted to the City councilmembers for their review prior to public hearings, with a copy also provided to the City Council Legislative Services Division for the official file. Section (c) of the Zoning Code provides that a legitimate public purpose may be one or more of the following, or such other criteria as may be determined by law from time to time: (1) The proposed rezoning and the development permitted there under is premature or otherwise creates or contributes to an urban sprawl pattern of development; (2) The proposed rezoning will constitute spot zoning, that is, an isolated zoning district unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts; (3) Uses permitted under the proposed rezoning will not be consistent or compatible with the existing and proposed land uses and zoning of adjacent and nearby properties or the general area or will deviate from an established or developing logical and orderly development pattern; (4) The proposed rezoning and the development permitted there under will result in significant adverse impacts upon property values of the adjacent or nearby properties or in the general area more than the types of uses currently permitted; (5) The proposed rezoning and the development permitted there under will detract from the character and quality of life in the general area or neighborhood by creating excessive traffic, noise, lights, vibration, fumes, odors, dust, physical activities and other detrimental effects or nuisances. If competent, substantial evidence is provided to show that one or more of the above criteria have been met in order to demonstrate that there is a legitimate public purpose in maintaining the existing zoning classification, then the City Council has a legal basis upon which to deny the rezoning. It is possible that there may be competing evidence, some or all of which is competent and substantial, which would be adequate to support a Council decision either way. Evidence and Testimony. Rezonings are quasi-judicial decisions that must be supported by fact-based testimony and evidence. In order to support a quasijudicial decision, this fact-based testimony and evidence must be competent and substantial. Although the question of whether evidence is competent and substantial is a legal question, it is helpful to consider the following examples, all of which are taken from Florida case law: Acceptable Citizen Testimony Citizens with first-hand knowledge of the vicinity qualified as expert witnesses as to the issue of natural beauty and recreational advantages of area. Citizens may testify how conditions in a neighborhood have changed over time, if they have witnessed those changes. Citizens may testify as to the location and density of nearby developments. Citizens may testify concerning noise, vibrations and other nuisances which they have personally observed. Unacceptable Citizen Testimony: Citizens are not qualified to testify about traffic, light or noise problems that might occur. Citizens are not qualified to testify about the relationship of a proposed project to the surrounding neighborhood. Citizens are not qualified to testify about declining property values unless they have real estate or property appraisal-related experience. Expressions of mass opinion in opposition to an application are not substantial, competent evidence. The fact that there may be a large number of objectors to the approval of an application is not a sound basis for denial, no matter how strenuous the objections. Expert Testimony: Expert testimony is considered to be substantial, competent evidence as long as the expert gives testimony within his area of expertise and
