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. LDR Suburban Development Area May 2014

New neighborhood commercial uses shall not be allowed, as secondary uses, where such uses would constitute an intrusion into an existing single-family neighborhood. Low Density Residential (LDR) LDR - GENERAL INTENT Low Density Residential (LDR) is a category intended to provide for low density residential development. Generally, single-family detached housing should be the predominant development typology in this category Mixed use developments utilizing the Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) concept, which is predominantly residential but includes a broad mixture of secondary recreational, commercial, public facilities and services may also be permitted. New residential subdivisions in LDR should be connected to reduce the number of Vehicles Miles Traveled and cul-de-sacs should be avoided. Density, location and mix of uses shall be pursuant to the Development Areas as set forth herein. LDR - SUBURBAN AREA (SA) INTENT LDR in the Suburban Area is intended to provide for low density residential development. LDR - SUBURBAN AREA USES The uses provided herein shall be applicable to all LDR sites within the Suburban Area. Principal Uses Single family and Multi-family dwellings; Commercial retail sales and service establishments when incorporated into mixed use developments which utilize the Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) concept and such uses are limited to 25 percent of the TND site area: and Other uses associated with and developed as an integral component of TND. Secondary Uses Secondary uses shall be permitted pursuant to the Residential land use introduction. In addition the following secondary uses may also be permitted: Borrow pits; Animals other than household pets; Foster care homes; Drive through facilities in conjunction with a permitted use; Assisted living facilities and housing for the elderly, so long as said facilities are located within three miles of a hospital and on an arterial roadway; and Commercial retail sales and service establishments when the site is located at the intersection of roads classified as collector or higher on the Functional Highway Classification Map, however logical extensions and expansions of preexisting commercial retail sales and service establishments are exempt from the roadway classification and intersection requirements. LDR - SUBURBAN AREA DENSITY The maximum gross density in the Suburban Area shall be 7 units/acre when full urban services are available to the site and there shall be no minimum density; except as provided herein. The maximum gross density shall be 2 units/acre and the minimum lot size shall be half an acre when both centralized potable water and wastewater are not available. The maximum gross density shall be 4 units/acre and the minimum lot size shall be ¼ of an acre if either one of centralized potable water or wastewater services are not available. LDR - SUBURBAN AREA DEVELOPMENT CHARACTERISTICS New LDR subdivisions should meet a standard of connectivity as defined in this element and cul-de-sacs should be avoided.

The location of new recreational facilities will be guided by the provisions of this and other elements of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Recommendations in the more specific planning district, neighborhood or functional plans will also be considered in siting future recreational facilities. ROS - GENERAL USES The uses provided herein shall be applicable to all ROS sites in all Development Areas. Principal Uses Parks, Playgrounds; Golf courses; Driving ranges; Marinas; Fairgrounds and spectator sports facilities in public and private ownership; carbon sinks; Pastoral open space managed by the Recreation and Community Services Department is also included.

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 650.407(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 163.3184 and 163.3187, 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.
