The applicant is seeking a change of zoning classification from GU (General Use) to AU (Agricultural Residential) for the purposes of having personal use of agricultural-residential accessory structures and uses, including raising and grazing of animals.
The subject property was recorded in Survey Book Canaveral Groves Subd SB 2 PG 55 Lot 4 BLK 9 in August 1960. The configuration of the has not changed. Pursuant to Section 62-1188(5), a lot recorded in a survey book prior to May 20, 1975, and is less than five acres may be determined to be nonconforming lot of record.

The applicant applied for a 0.27 acre variance to the minimum lot area required by Section 62-1334 (4) to be eligible to apply for the proposed AU zoning. The variance application, 25V00059, to the minimum AU lot size requirement was approved by the Board of Adjustment (BOA) on 10/15/2025.
Abutting the subject property to the north is a 2.23-acre parcel developed as a single-family residence with AU zoning and RES 1:2.5 FLU designation. Abutting the subject property to the South is a 2.23-acre parcel developed as a single-family residence with GU zoning and RES 1:2.5 FLU designation.
