Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from AU (Agricultural Residential) to RR-1 (Rural Residential). The purpose of the request is to split the 2.94-acre lot into two lots by creating a flag lot on the southern portion. The applicant has provided a boundary survey outlining lot 1, depicting the current single-family residential dwelling, and the creation of lot 2.
The subject property was platted as a Replat of Section 17 of Indian River Park, a subdivision of The Bernardo Segui Grant Block 20, recorded on August 18, 1916, in PB 2, PG 75. The subject property retains the original zoning classification of AU when the Brevard County zoning code was established in 1958. The subject property also retains the original FLU, Residential 1 (RES 1) established in the 1988 Brevard County Comprehensive Plan.
The subject property is within the septic moratorium area. Any proposed development requiring a septic permit could potentially be affected by this moratorium. For further information regarding the septic moratorium, the property owner would need to reach out to Department of Environmental Health, which issues septic permits.
North of the subject property are three (3) parcels: The first parcel is 2.51 acres, developed with a single-family residence. The second parcel is 3.59 acres of vacant land. The third parcel is 1.56 acres, developed with a single-family residence. South of the subject property are two (2) parcels: The first parcel is 5.0 acres, developed with a single-family residence and has AU zoning with RES 1 FLU designation. The second parcel is 3.75 acres, developed with a single-family residence. East of the subject property is a 2.94-acre parcel, developed with a single-family residence. West of the subject property is a 2.94-acre parcel, developed with a single-family residence.
The Board may wish to consider if the request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
The Board of County Commissioners will consider the request on Thursday, December 11, 2025, 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.
