Summary
The CRA authorized consultant design for a temporary low-speed-vehicle (LSV) parking lot on the city-owned lot at Second Street and Fourth Avenue North; scope excludes vehicle charging stations and emphasizes removable, low-impact construction and ADA spaces.
The Jacksonville Beach CRA voted to engage a consultant to design a temporary low-speed-vehicle parking lot on the city-owned parcel at Second Street and Fourth Avenue North.
Staff said the concept would provide designated spaces for golf carts, scooters and bicycles, add bike racks and include ADA-accessible parking. Council had asked for a quick, low-impact option that could be removed or repurposed later; staff and consultants will explore permeable pavers or other materials that preserve green space where possible.
Taylor told the board the lot would be a temporary amenity; the city will not provide charging stations for electric carts as part of this initial scope. "The intent was... just be a service lot. No charging, at all," Taylor said, reflecting council direction.
Board members discussed enforcement, signage and towing for noncompliant vehicles and asked staff to coordinate enforcement plans with the police department. The motion to authorize consultant design and proceed with a concept that prioritizes removable, low-impact materials passed unanimously by roll call.
