Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting a change of zoning classification from AU (Agricultural Residential) to RU-1-13 (Single-family Residential) to expand the existing single-family residence on 0.69 acres, aligning the zoning classification with the property’s lot size. The parcel was subdivided from an approximate 1.16-acre parent property, and the current configuration was recorded on March 29, 1990, as recorded in ORB 3051, Page 1261, of the Public Records of Brevard County, Florida. The original parent property was recorded, May 1968, in ORB 1025, Page 926, of the Public Records of Brevard County, Florida.
Per Section 62-2102: No person shall sever any lot in such a manner that a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter would be created on any new or altered lot, including their uses or structures. This subject criterion has existed since its adoption in 1979 and was amended on October 31, 2000.
Agricultural Residential (AU) is the original zoning for the subject property as adopted by the Brevard County Zoning Regulation on May 22, 1958. The subdivision created a lot that is inadequate to the AU lot size requirements. From May 22, 1958, to March 6, 1975, the AU zoning classification had minimum lot criteria of 125 feet width, 125 feet depth and a minimum lot area of 1.0 acre. Since the lot was split after March 1975, it cannot be considered a non-conforming lot of record.
The property to the north of the subject property is a 1.49-acre lot improved with a single-family home built in 1966, zoned AU. The property to the south is a 0.61-acre parcel developed with a single-family home built in 1989; zoned RU-1-13. To the east of the subject property, across Gray Rd., is a 0.49-acre parcel developed with a single-family home built in 1975; zoned RU-1-13. To the west of the subject property is a 0.47-acre vacant parcel zoned AU.
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, July 17, 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.
