Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from GU (General Use) and SR (Suburban Residential) with an existing BDP to RR-1 (Rural Residential) on a 1.43-acre lot and removal of existing BDP. The applicant has a companion Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment (SSCPA) application, 25SS00001, requesting a change from RES 1:2.5 to RES 1. Approval of this request will provide consistency with the requested FLU designation and lot size requirements. The parcels have been combined with one warranty deed and have access to Mildred Ct., a County maintained road.
The 0.18 acre parcel, represented by tax account number 2322697, is a part of the Veronica Estates Phase One subdivision, which is subject to a Binding Development Plan (BDP) that allowed clustered residential development at a higher density by transferring development rights from adjoining lots that remain undeveloped. This parcel is zoned SR (Suburban Residential).
The existing BDP has three conditions:
• It allows for a maximum of 80 lots on Parcel 1. The 80 lots include 16 lots transferred by the transfer of development rights from Parcel 2. No development of any kind shall be permitted on Parcel 2;
• Allows for a maximum of 10 lots less than one acre in size but none shall be less than 0.75 acres;
• The access to the subdivision shall be from Grissom Pkwy. and not from Canaveral Groves Blvd.
A portion of the subject property, represented by tax account number 2314528, retains the original FLU designation established in 1988 by the Brevard County Comprehensive Plan and GU zoning classification established in 1958.
To the north is a 1.07-acre parcel developed as a single-family residence with SR zoning and RES 1:2.5 FLU designation. There is also an 8.61-acre parcel developed as a single-family residence with AU zoning and RES 1:2.5 density. Abutting the subject property to the South is a vacant lot zoned SR with RES 1:2.5 density and can be developed as a single-family residence. South of the subject property at the northwest corner of Peroutka Ln. and Mildred Ct. is a single-family residence which is zoned SR and has RES 1:2.5 density. To the East of the subject property, east of Mildred Ct., are two (1) acre parcels with single-family residences. They are zoned SR and have RES 1:2.5 density. Abutting the subject property to the West, is a lot 104 acres, with SR zoning classification with RES 1:2.5 density, owned by Brevard County.
The Board may wish to consider whether the proposed zoning request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
The Board of County Commissioners will consider the request on Thursday, May 01, 2025. Beginning at 5:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Brevard Cunty Government Center, 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Commission Room, Viera, Florida.
