Florida Statute 720.3035

Policy

• Composition to be of material thoroughly tested and accepted by the industry for such construction.
• The outside edge of any pool may not be closer than 4 feet to a line extended and aligned with the sidewalls of the dwelling unless approved by the ARB.
• No screening of pool areas may extend beyond a line extended and aligned with sidewalls of the dwelling unless approved by the ARB. All screen enclosures must be bronze or charcoal in color and must be landscaped to soften their appearance.
• Any lighting of a pool or other recreation area shall be designed to buffer the surrounding residences from the lighting.
• Pools without screen enclosures must be fenced and adequately landscaped.
• Above ground spas (also called hot tubs) may be approved by the ARB provided the spa meets the following criteria…
  • The spa is located at the rear of the dwelling within a screen enclosure as close to the dwelling as feasible,
  • The exterior color of the spa blends into the overall color scheme of the exterior of the dwelling, and
  • Additional landscaping is installed to screen the view of the spa.

Note:  The ARB will evaluate each and spa application for total effect including the aesthetic impact on the dwelling unit and neighboring properties. It is possible that the submission might meet the criteria above and still not receive approval if, in the sole judgment of the ARB, its overall aesthetic impact is unacceptable. The approval of an application for one spa application shall not be construed as creating an obligation on the part of the ARB to approve all spa applications.

• It is the responsibility of the property owner and contractor to comply with the City of Jacksonville’s ordinances and regulations concerning swimming pools (See www.coj.net).

Note:  Above ground swimming pools are PROHIBITED.
