Atlantic Beach Adopts Strengthened Tree Protection Ordinance
The City Commission of Atlantic Beach adopted Ordinance Number 95-26-128, which amends Chapter 23 of the Code of Ordinances regarding the protection of trees and native vegetation. This ordinance introduces a "landmark tree" designation for maritime trees, establishes regulations for their preservation, removal, and relocation, and enhances mitigation requirements. The ordinance was amended to include staff's recommendation for mitigation ratios, a doubling of mitigation fees for trees in setbacks, and a revised approval process involving the Community Development Board with appeals to the City Commission. This significant legislation aims to protect the city's tree canopy and natural environment.
