It is requested that the Local Planning Agency consider a Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment (24S.15), to change the Future Land Use Designation from CC (Community Commercial) to RES 30 (Residential 30).
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is seeking to amend the Future Land Use designation on 6.93 acres of land from Community Commercial (CC) to Residential 30 (RES 30) to redevelop the existing limited-service hotel built in 1973 to multi-family. The proposal is for 190 multi-family residential units.
In CC FLU designation, residential density is established using up to one category higher than the closest residentially designated area on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) which is on the same side of the street. However, the area does not have any residential designation near the subject property on the same side of the street. The Board should determine if the proposed requested FLU is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area. RES 30 designation is compatible with the requested RU-2-30 zoning classification.
The site has frontage on E. Merritt Island Causeway (State Road 520). A companion rezoning application (24Z00066) was submitted accompanying this request to change the zoning classification from BU-1 (General Retail Commercial and BU-2 (Retail, Warehousing, and Wholesale Commercial) to RU-2-30 (High-Density Multiple-Family Residential).
This segment of E. Merritt Island Causeway (State Road 520) from N. Courtenay Pkwy. east to N. Plumosa Street is a commercial corridor where all the Future Land Use designations are CC.
The RES 30 Directive land use designation may permit development in excess of 30 units per acre, as provided in Criteria B of FLUE Policy 1.3. The subject site is within the Merritt Island Redevelopment Agency (MIRA); The subject site is not part of an approved redevelopment plan.
To the northwest, on the southerly side of Palmetto Ave., is a 4-acre parcel with RU-2-15 zoning developed as multi-family residential (condominiums) with NC FLU. To the northeast, is residential subdivision with RU-1-11 zoning with NC FLU. To the south are four properties with BU-2 zoning that include a 0.89-acre parcel developed as a bank; a 0.80-acre parcel developed as a professional office plaza; and a 0.4 acre and 0.37-acre parcels developed as a bank with CC FLU. To the east is a 1.36-acre parcel developed as a commercial office that has BU-1-A zoning classification with NC FLU designation. To the west is a 2.67-acre vacant parcel that has RU-2-15 zoning classification with NC FLU designation.
The Board may wish to consider whether the proposed Land Use request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
The Board of County Commissioners will consider the request on Thursday, April 03, 2025. 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.
