COMMERCIAL This category is primarily intended to provide for all types of commercial retail sales and service establishments and development which includes offices and Multi-family uses. The plan includes five types of commercially dominated land use categories: Residential-Professional- Institutional, Neighborhood Commercial, Community/General Commercial, Regional Commercial, and Central Business District. The principal uses range from a small convenience store, laundry/dry cleaning shop to mixed use development, large shopping centers and multi-story office buildings. Commercial Secondary Uses: Secondary uses permitted in all residential land use categories are also allowed in all commercial land use categories, including schools. In addition, secondary uses having external impacts similar to the primary uses described above are also included. Examples of these uses are: Trade schools and colleges, hospitals, medical centers, clinics, and sanitariums; Museums; Art galleries; Theaters and related uses; Convention, exhibition, trade, and festival facilities and other similar institutional uses; Transit stations; and Off-street parking lots and garages. In addition to the above, the following secondary uses may be permitted subject to the provisions of each commercial land use category: Criminal justice facilities; Transportation terminals and facilities; Stadiums and arenas; Yard waste composting; Dude ranches; Riding academies; Shooting ranges; Commercial fishing or hunting camps; and Fairgrounds. Not all principal or secondary uses stated above are permitted in all commercial land use categories. The intensity and range of uses permitted, in a specific commercial category, are subject to the provisions of this and other elements of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, and all applicable Land Development Regulations. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL (NC) NC - GENERAL INTENT Neighborhood Commercial (NC) is a category primarily intended to provide commercial retail and service establishments which serve the daily needs of nearby residential neighborhoods. Preferred development patterns include those described in Policy 3.2.6 of this element. These uses shall generally be located within walking distance of residential neighborhoods in order to reduce the number of Vehicles Miles Traveled. 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. Density, location and mix of uses shall be pursuant to the Development Areas as set forth herein. NC - 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. In addition, all development on sites which abut a Low Density Residential and/or Rural Residential land use designation shall provide the following: A scale transition as defined and illustrated in this element. 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. NC Urban Development Area May 2014 Page 1 of 2

Elements such as yards, open space, at-grade parking and perimeter walls shall be arranged, designed and landscaped in a style compatible with adjacent areas to serve as a visual buffering element. NC - URBAN AREA (UA) INTENT Plan amendment requests for new NC designations are preferred in locations which are supplied with full urban services; which abut a roadway classified as a collector or higher on the Functional Highway Classification Map; and which are compatible with adjacent residential neighborhoods. Sites with two or more property boundaries on transportation rights-of-way will be considered preferred locations. NC - URBAN AREA USES The uses provided herein shall be applicable to all NC sites within the Urban Area. Principal Uses Offices Business and professional offices including veterinary offices; Multi-family dwellings, when combined with another principal use; Filling Stations; Uses associated with and developed as an integral component of TOD; Single-family dwellings which were originally constructed as single-family dwellings prior to adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan; and Commercial retail and service establishments, except for new or used automobile sales, funeral homes, and broadcasting offices and studios. Secondary Uses Secondary uses shall be permitted pursuant to the Commercial land use introduction. NC - URBAN AREA DENSITY The maximum gross density in the Urban Area shall be 30 units/acre and there shall be no minimum density; except as provided herein. For sites abutting Low Density Residential (LDR), the maximum gross density shall be 20 units/acre. For sites within the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) the maximum gross density shall be 20 units/acre unless appropriate mitigation is provided consistent with the City s CHHA policies. The maximum density shall be ten units per acre and there shall be no minimum density where this category has been established by a small scale land use amendment, unless otherwise authorized under a Planned Unit Development (PUD) rezoning that is approved pursuant to Future Land Use Element Policy 1.1.10A. NC - URBAN AREA DEVELOPMENT CHARACTERISTICS The development characteristics provided herein shall be applicable to all NC sites within the Urban Area. Residential uses shall not be permitted on the ground floor abutting roads classified as collector or higher on the Functional Highway Classification Map. Developments shall, to the greatest extent possible, be massed along the highest abutting classified road on the Functional Highway Classification Map. Uses shall be sited in a manner to promote internal pedestrian and vehicle circulation and ease of access between abutting non-residential uses and sites and to limit the number of driveway access points on roads classified as arterials on the Functional Highway Classification Map. To promote a more compact, pedestrian-friendly environment, off street parking shall be located behind or to the side of buildings to the greatest extent possible. Structured parking is encouraged, provided it is integrated into the design of the overall development and is compatible with surrounding neighborhoods.

RESIDENTIAL-PROFESSIONAL-INSTITUTIONAL (RPI) RPI - GENERAL INTENT Residential Professional Institutional (RPI) is a category primarily intended to accommodate medium to high density residential, professional office, and institutional uses. Limited commercial retail and service establishments which serve a diverse set of neighborhoods may also be a part of mixed use developments. RPI is generally intended to provide transitional uses between commercial and residential uses, although it may also provide a transition between industrial and residential uses when industrial uses pose no health or safety risks to residents. 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. RPI - 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. In addition, all development on sites which abut a Low Density Residential and/or Rural Residential land use designation shall provide the following: RPI Urban Development Area July 2016 Page 1 of 3

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. RPI - URBAN AREA (UA) INTENT RPI in the Urban Area is intended to provide compact medium density development. Development which includes medium density residential and professional office uses is preferred. Limited commercial retail and service establishments which serve a diverse set of neighborhoods are also encouraged in order to reduce the number of Vehicles Miles Traveled. Plan amendment requests for new RPI designations are preferred in locations which are supplied with full urban services and in locations which serve as a transition between commercial and residential land uses. RPI - URBAN AREA USES The uses provided herein shall be applicable to all RPI sites within the Urban Area.

The aforementioned shall not limit the production of beer, wine or other alcoholic beverages for exclusively on-site consumption in conjunction with an otherwise permissible restaurant or retail sales and service establishment. Single-use developments shall be limited to residential or office. Single use residential developments shall be pursuant to the requirements of the Medium Density Residential (MDR) category. Mixed use developments may not include more than 90 percent of any individual use. Secondary Uses Secondary uses shall be permitted pursuant to the Commercial land use introduction. In addition, the following secondary uses may also be permitted: Single-family dwellings as part of a single-use or mixed used development; Veterinary Offices; and Filling stations. Ancillary Transitional Uses Off street parking facilities; Stormwater facilities; Open spaces. Ancillary uses may be shared between abutting RPI sites and do not count as principal uses. They may fully occupy a site designated RPI only when the RPI serves as a transition between more and RPI Urban Development Area July 2016 Page 2 of 3

less intense uses, and the facilities are ancillary to the function of one of the adjacent uses; provided, however, that off street parking facilities in the RPI land use category shall only serve primary uses also in an RPI land use category. RPI - URBAN AREA DENSITY The maximum gross density within the Urban Area shall be 30 units/acre and there shall be no minimum density; except as provided herein. For sites abutting Low Density Residential (LDR) and Rural Residential (RR), the maximum gross density shall be 20 units/acre. Transit-Oriented Developments (TOD) shall provide a minimum gross density of 20 units/acre; and may increase the maximum gross density by an additional 20 units/acre; except for sites abutting Low Density Residential (LDR) and Rural Residential (RR), in which case the maximum gross density shall be 20 units/acre. For sites within the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA), the maximum gross density shall be 20 units/acre unless appropriate mitigation is provided consistent with the City s CHHA policies. RPI - URBAN AREA DEVELOPMENT CHARACTERISTICS The development characteristics provided herein shall be applicable to all RPI sites within the Urban Area. Developments on sites greater than 5 acres should incorporate urban development characteristics as defined in this element. Residential uses shall not be permitted on the ground floor abutting roads classified as arterials or higher on the Functional Highway Classification Map. Commercial retail sales and service establishments shall be limited to the ground floor. Developments shall, to the greatest extent possible, be massed along the highest abutting classified road on the Functional Highway Classification Map. In the case of TND, development should also be massed along the newly created street network. Uses shall be sited in a manner to promote internal pedestrian and vehicle circulation and ease of access between abutting uses and sites and to limit the number of driveway access points on roads classified as arterials on the Functional Highway Classification Map. To promote a more compact, pedestrian-friendly environment, off street parking shall be located behind or to the side of buildings to the greatest extent possible. Structured parking is encouraged, provided it is integrated into the design of the overall development and is compatible with surrounding neighborhoods. In TOD, TND, and mixed use developments open spaces should be designed as a common connecting element between uses. RPI Urban Development Area July 2016 Page 3 of 3

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.

LEGAL ISSUES RELATED TO REZONING APPLICATIONS The following brief summary of legal issues related to rezoning applications is provided pursuant to Section 656.124(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. 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.

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 656.125(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
