End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant requests a Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment (SSCPA) to change the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) from Agricultural (AGRIC) to Residential 1:2.5 (RES 1:2.5) on the 3.39-acre vacant subject lot to allow for rezoning and development of the property for personal agricultural pursuits. The requested AU zoning classification may be considered consistent with the proposed RES 1:2.5 FLU designation.
The subject property’s current and original GU zoning classification does provide agricultural pursuits as a conditional use; however, the subject property does not meet the required minimum of a 5-acre lot size under such zoning. The applicant has submitted a companion rezoning application, 26Z00013, requesting a change of zoning from GU (General Use) to AU (Agricultural Residential).
On April 27, 2020, the property was put into its current configuration as recorded in ORB 8727, Pages 1071- 1072, of the Public Records of Brevard County, Florida.
The property to the north of the subject property is a vacant 1.02-acre lot; zoned GU and AGRIC FLU. South across Pine Needle Rd. is a 1-acre parcel developed with a manufactured home in 1999; zoned RRMH-1 with RES 1 FLU. Lying east of the subject property are two properties: The first property is a 1.25-acre vacant lot with GU zoning. The second parcel is 1.17 acres improved with a manufactured home in 2009 with RRMH-1 zoning. Both lots contain AGRIC FLU. West of the subject property is a 9.42-acre vacant parcel; zoned RRMH-1 and AGRIC FLU.
The Board may wish to consider if the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the surrounding area.
The Board of County Commissioners will consider the request on Thursday, July 09, 2026, beginning at 5:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Brevard County Government Center, 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Building C, Commission Room, Viera, Florida.
