Summary Explanation and Background:
Currently, the commercial storage of recreational vehicles, recreational equipment, and trailer storage is not permissible within the AU and AU(L) zoning classifications. It is proposed to amend Section 62-1334, Brevard County Code of Ordinances, to allow for this use as a conditional use. In addition, a new section would be created to set the conditions for the use.
Such conditions may include, but are not limited to:
• Minimum property size of 5 acres
• Requiring the use to be taking place no closer than 25 feet from all property lines
• Instituting setbacks from rights-of-way
• Prohibition of storage of commercial vehicles or heavy equipment
• Requiring an opaque barrier on all sides of the use, with the screen being a minimum of 6 feet in height
• Limiting the use to no more than 50% of the property on which it is located
If approved, for the conditional use to be utilized within the AU or AU(L) zoning classifications, a conditional use permit (CUP) would be required. The procedure for obtaining a CUP is outlined in Section 62-1901 of the Brevard County Code of Ordinances. Among other requirements, the process includes review by the Planning and Zoning Board as well as approval by the Board of County Commissioners.
Should the Board approve legislative intent and permission to advertise, the resulting proposed ordinance would be reviewed by the Building Construction Advisory Committee and the Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency before consideration by the Board of County Commissioners. Should the Board adopt the ordinance after 2 public hearings (in accordance with Section 125.66(5)(b), Florida Statutes), it would be subject to approval by Florida Commerce prior to becoming effective within the Area of Critical State Concern in the South Beaches area.
