Recommendation
It is requested that the Planning & Zoning Board conduct a public hearing to consider a change of zoning classification from RR-1 (Rural Residential) to AU (Agricultural Residential).
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from RR-1 to AU in order to seek compliance with Code Enforcement case 22CE-00499, related to a pole-barn being constructed without a permit. The applicant also proposes to use the property for a small nursery and raise chickens, and small livestock, as well as make the property more sustainable and self-sufficient. The applicant currently has a cow and bull on the property.
The AU zoning classification permits single-family residential and agricultural uses on 2.5-acre lots, with a minimum lot width and depth of 150 feet, and a minimum living area of 750 square feet. The AU classification permits the raising/grazing of animals and plant nurseries.
Most parcels in the immediate area are one (1) acre or larger in size and developed with single-family homes.
The Board may wish to consider if the request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area. The Board may consider whether there are potential effects of Agritourism activities on the surrounding area.
The Board of County Commissioners will hear the request on Thursday, April 6, 2023, beginning at 5:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Brevard County Government Center, 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Commission Room, Viera, Florida.
