Recommendation
It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners conduct a public hearing to consider a change of zoning classification from RU-1-9 (Single-Family Residential) to RU-1-7 (Single-Family Residential).
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from RU-1-9 (Single-Family Residential) to RU-1-7 (Single-Family Residential). The current lot is substandard. The requested action will correct the inconsistency between the current zoning and future land use, as the RU-1-9 zoning requires a minimum lot width of 66 ft. The subject property has a 50 ft. lot width.
When subdivided into the current configuration, the parcel was zoned RU- 1, Single Family Residential Zone. The RU-1 zoning required a minimum lot width and depth of 75 feet and minimum lot size of 7,500 sq. ft. The parcel was inadequate to the RU-1 zoning’s 75 feet lot width requirement.
On June 1, 1972, the zoning classification RU-1 was revised to RU-1-9. As the parcel’s lot width was inadequate when it was subdivided it would not be a nonconforming lot to the RU-1-9 lot width requirement.
North of the subject property are two lots zoned BU-1. The easterly lot is 0.4 acres and is improved with a 1,944 sq. ft. single-family residence built in 1958. The westerly lot, adjacent to Riveredge Drive, is 0.2 acres and is improved with a 1,966 sq. ft. commercial building built in 1958, now vacant, which was formerly a bar and cocktail lounge. South is a 0.71 acre river-front lot zoned RU-1-9. The property is improved with a 2,661 sq. ft. single-family residence built in 2003. To the east of the subject site is the Indian River lagoon.
The Board may wish to consider whether the proposed zoning request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
On October 14, 2024, the Planning and Zoning Board heard the request and unanimously recommended approval.
