Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting a change of zoning classification from AU (Agricultural Residential) to RU-2-15 (Medium-density Multiple-family Residential) on 2.43 acres to allow for the development of 36 apartment units for senior citizens. The subject parcel has access to Grove Boulevard, a county-maintained roadway. The property is currently undeveloped and is located on the north side of Grove Boulevard, approximately 0.24 miles west of North Courtenay Parkway.
RU-2-15 encompasses lands devoted to medium-density multifamily residential purposes, together with such accessory uses as may be necessary or are normally compatible with residential surroundings. RU-2-15 permits multiple-family residential uses or single-family residences at a density of up to 15 units per acre on 7,500 square foot lots.
The subject parcel may contain aquifer recharge soil. The mapped topographic elevations show that the property falls within a Type 3 Aquifer Recharge area, which is subject to impervious area restrictions. The applicant is hereby notified of the development and impervious restrictions within Conservation Element Policy 10.2 and the Aquifer Protection Ordinance.
The property is part of Lot 15 of Nevins Subdivision recorded in PB 2, PG 98 of the Brevard County Official Records on December 2, 1919. The subject property is one of four parcels created on July 25, 2000, as recorded in Official Records Book 4195, PG 2548, when Lot 15 was split without the benefit of a subdivision plan.
North of the subject property is an undeveloped 2.43-acre parcel zoned AU with RES 15 FLU. South of the subject property and the right-of way of Grove Boulevard is an 8.6-acre parcel developed with an elementary school and zoned GML(I) with PUB FLU. East of the subject property are four (4) parcels developed with single family residences, zoned RU-1-9 with RES 6 FLU. The first lot is 0.19-acres, the next two lots are 0.18 acres, and the last lot is 0.22 acres. West of the subject property is an undeveloped 2.43-acre parcel zoned AU with RES 15 FLU.
The Board may consider whether the request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
The Board of County Commissioners will consider the request on Thursday, May 07, 2026, 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.
