End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting a change of zoning classification from AU (Agricultural Residential) on 3.49 acres to BU-1 (General Retail Commercial) to allow for commercial use and future development of the subject property. After a phone call with the applicant, it was clarified that, “The property owner desires to construct a flex- contractor office building with a layout of several units and no outside storage to allow for permitted uses within the BU-1 zoning district.” The applicant has been advised on the limitations of warehousing within the BU-1 zoning district. The property's current configuration has remained the same since the earliest recorded deed available from February 05, 1962. The subject parcel has access to Highway 1, a state-maintained roadway.
There is also a Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment (SSCPA) companion application, 25SS00006 to change the Future Land Use Element from Neighborhood Commercial (NC) and Residential 2 (RES 2) to Community Commercial (CC). This request, if approved, would provide consistency with the requested zoning of BU-1.
AU zoning classification encompasses lands devoted to agricultural pursuits and single-family residential development of spacious character on 2.5 acre lots, with a minimum lot width and depth of 150 feet. The minimum house size in AU is 750 square feet. The AU classification also permits the raising/grazing of animals, fowl and beekeeping.
The BU-1 general retail commercial zoning classification encompasses land devoted to general retail shopping, offices and personal services to serve the needs of the community. BU-1 requires a minimum 7,500 square foot lot. The BU-1 classification does not permit warehousing or wholesaling. Metal buildings shall be permitted in this zoning classification subject to the restrictions presented in Section 62-2115.
North of the subject property is one (1) parcel, 3.37 acres developed with a single-family residence, AU zoning classification and RES 2 FLU. South of the subject property is one parcel, 2.15 acres, vacant property with BU-1 zoning classification and CC FLU. East of the subject property is Highway 1, a four lane, state-maintained roadway. West of the subject property is three (3) parcels: one (1) parcel, 1 acre of vacant land, a second parcel, 1.07 acres with residential related amenities and a third parcel, 1.07 acres of vacant land with all three parcels having AU zoning classification and RES 1 FLU.
The Board may wish to consider if the request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
The Board may wish to consider mitigating the potential intrusion of this land use into the surrounding residential areas by limiting the use to only a flex- contractors’ offices, with no outside storage.
The Board of County Commissioners will consider the request on Thursday, September 04, 2025, 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.
