Recommendation
It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners conduct a public hearing to considering the attached ordinance revision to Section 62-1844 relating to tiny homes.
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
At its August 4, 2022 Zoning meeting, the Board issued legislative intent and permission to advertise certain amendments to Sec. 62-1844, Brevard County Code of Ordinances, in order to effectuate the following changes:
1. Creating a common maximum floor area of 750 sq. ft. for tiny homes, across all classifications that already allow for them as a Permitted Use with Conditions
2. Allowing for multiple tiny homes in a mobile home park (TR-3)
3. Removing the requirement to gain notarized approval from the owners of abutting developed property
The attached ordinance implements this direction. Because this amendment makes changes to zoning conditional uses, two public hearings are required under Fla. Stat. Sec. 125.66(4)(b).
On September 7, 2022, the Building Construction Advisory Committee heard the proposed ordinance and unanimously recommended approval.
The Local Planning Agency/Planning and Zoning Board is scheduled to consider this proposal on September 12th. Staff will update the Board on its recommendation.
Clerk to the Board Instructions:
None at this time.
