Recommendation
It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners conduct a public hearing to consider a change of zoning classification from RRMH-1 (Rural Residential Mobile Home) to TR-3 (Mobile Home Park) with an amended BDP (Binding Development Plan) or, alternatively, to the less intense zoning application of RRMH-2.5 (with amended BDP) that the applicant has agreed to.

Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting to change the zoning classification from RRMH-1 (Rural Residential Mobile Home) to TR-3 (Mobile Home Park) on a 17.01 acre parcel to develop a tiny home development that would allow mobile homes, tiny homes, and tiny homes on wheels, and this item was advertised as such. After this item was heard by the Planning and Zoning Board on August 12, 2024, the applicant expressed a willingness to agree to the less intense zoning classification of RRMH-2.5 with a revised BDP. Per Section 62-1151(h), Brevard County Code of Ordinances, this is within the Board’s authority. It states that “the board of county commissioners may approve a classification which is more intense than the existing classification, but less intense than the classification which was requested.”
The subject parcel is currently undeveloped and has access on Gandy Road, a county-maintained roadway.
A companion application, 24SS00002, if approved, would amend the FLUM designation from Agricultural (AGRIC) to Residential 6 (RES 6). The requested RES 6 FLUM designation would establish low density residential development with a maximum density of up to six (6) units per acre.
The owner/applicant has provided a Binding Development Plan (BDP) that would limit maximum residential density to two (2) units per acre and a minimum lot size of one-quarter acre.
The owner/applicant has revised the zoning application and FLUM change to request RRMH-2.5 and Res 1:2.5 with a revised BDP with the following conditions:
1. The development of the property is limited to no more than 6 units which meet the minimum standards of the RRMH-2.5 zoning classification.
2. The developer shall satisfy the requirements of Article VII, Subdivisions and Plats should the property be developed with 3 or more units.
Staff has prepared an addendum analyzing the proposed changes included in the packet.
To the north of the subject property is a vacant property with a zoning classification of RRMH-1 and a FLU designation of AGRIC. There are single-family, site-built homes on both the east and west of this access strip that have a zoning classification of GU and RRMH-1 and FLU designation AGRIC. To the south, the Hidden Lakes subdivision with a minimum lot size requirement of one-half acre lots for manufactured housing has a TR-2 zoning classification and a FLU designation of RES 2. There are 67 lots in this subdivision with an average size of 0.9 acres.
Subsequent to this application being received, a complaint was filed regarding unpermitted land clearing and alteration activities, including in wetlands. There are Natural Resources Code enforcement cases pending (24CE-00943, 24CE-00944, and 24CE-00945) on three of the six parcels included in this request.
The Board may wish to consider whether the proposed zoning request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
On August 12, 2024, the Planning and Zoning Board heard the request and unanimously recommended denial of the request based on impacts to Hog Valley Road and the increase in density.
On September 5, 2024, the Board of County Commissioners continued the request for a change of zoning classification with an amended BDP to the October 3, 2024, Board of County Commissioners Meeting.
