Recommendation
It is requested that the Planning and Zoning Board conduct a public hearing to consider a change of zoning classification from RU-1-13 (Single-Family Residential) to RU-2-4 (Low-Density Multiple-Family Residential) with a BDP (Binding Development Plan).
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting to change the zoning classification from RU-1-13 (Single-Family Residential) to RU-2-4 (Low-Density Multiple-Family Residential) with a BDP (Binding Development Plan). The Binding Development Plan would limit the development of the site to the existing two units. RU-1-13 does not allow for multi-family dwellings and under County code, a duplex is considered multi-family. This rezoning request will correct this issue.
The applicant is requesting to retain the nonconforming duplex, constructed on the property in 1955. The property owner’s financial institution is requiring the owner to rezone the property rather than pursue a pre-existing use (PEU) determination.
The applicant has provided a BDP with the following stipulation:
• Limit density to 2 units
Abutting this parcel are six (6) single-family residential lots which were created after the property was rezoned from GU and multi-family zoning to the current RU-1-13 zoning. Those home sites were developed in 1998 to 1999. The abutting US 1 frontage lots to the south of this request were developed in 1965 (duplex) and the other lot at the southeast end of the residential development was developed as a single-family residence in 1955.
To the north and east, beyond the abutting residential lots, the area is predominately developed with a mixture of commercial and single-family residential uses. To the south, beyond the abutting residential lots the area, is predominately commercial. To the west, beyond the abutting residential lot, the area has an industrial use for an asphalt plant.
The Board may wish to consider whether the proposed zoning request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area and the BDP addresses any off-site impacts.
The Board of County Commissioners will consider the request on Thursday, August 1, 2024. 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.
