Recommendation
It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners conduct a public hearing to consider an amendment to an existing BDP in a RU-2-12 (Medium Density Multi-Family Residential) zoning classification.
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant’s request is to remove the existing BDP and create a new BDP to restrict the property to two detached residential units. The existing BDP allows for the development of a luxury townhouse project of 13-units on 1.41 acres; this lot area represents only a portion of the overall BDP area. There is an exhibit detailing the relationship with the existing BDP area and the proposed BDP.
Development under the current BDP would require the development of a townhouse project on this 0.24-acre lot which would require that the owner subdivide this parcel into two platted lots each limited to the development of one attached living unit per lot. If allowed to amend the BDP stipulation, the owner proposes to develop two detached units on the existing parcel which would not to require a subdivision plat/review. The RU-2-12 zoning classification and a Community Commercial Future Land Use designation allows up to 12 units per acre.
The adjacent lots within this block all carry the same RU-2-12 with BDP restrictions. Across the street to the north is BU-2 zoning developed as a self-storage mini-warehouse facility. To the east lying east of S. Atlantic Avenue is vacant property zoned GML (Government Managed Lands) and owned by Brevard County. To the south across Summer Street is another storage facility. To the west across of S. Orlando Avenue is the 77-unit Magnolia Bay condominium complex.
The parcel has access to public water by the City of Cocoa and centralized sewer may be available from the City of Cocoa Beach. Without connection to sewer, this site should limit development to 4-units per acre which would limit the site development potential to 1 unit.
The Board may wish to consider whether the requested action to remove the existing BDP and replace it with a new BDP is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
On November 15, 2021, the Planning and Zoning Board heard the request and unanimously recommended approval.
On December 2, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners tabled the request to the January 11, 2022 Board meeting.
