End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant’s request is for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to mitigate a non-conforming use. The subject property currently features one office building and 25 duplexes, totaling 50 units. The current development of the property has a current density of approximately 4.16 units per acre. The residential development of the property currently has RU-2-30 zoning classification with RES 4 FLU designation, which is not considered consistent.
The subject property provides low-rent housing to citizens by the Housing Authority of Brevard. The proposed use of the property is intended to remain the same. The applicant indicates that they want to add a 4,000 square foot maintenance building to the property.
If the applicant applied for an Administrative Action Non-Conforming Lot of Record under Sections 62-1188 and 62-1189, it would only address the current development of the property, not the proposed new development of a maintenance building. Therefore, by applying for a CUP and if approved by the board, it would recognize the current residential non-conforming use of the property while allowing for the new proposed structure.
North of the subject property is a 13.7-acre parcel, a developed mobile home park with 69 units, with TR-3 zoning classification and RES 4 FLU designation. South of the subject property across Aurora Road is the Aurora Oaks subdivision, approximately 14.3 acres in size, developed with approximately 60 single-family residences on approximately 0.13 to 0.25-acre lots. The subdivision has RU-1-7 zoning classification and RES 6 FLU designation. East of the subject property across Marywood Road is seven (7) parcels, approximately 0.25 acres each, developed with single-family residences, zoned RU-1-13 with RES 4 FLU. There is one additional parcel, approximately 0.78 acres in size, developed as a church, with IN(L) zoning classification and RES 4 FLU designation. West of the subject property is a 7.26-acre parcel, developed as a church/ religious sorority home, with IN(L) zoning classification and RES 4 FLU designation.
The Board may consider if the request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
The Board of County Commissioners will consider the request on Thursday, November 06, 2025, beginning at 5:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Brevard County Government Center, Building C, 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Viera, Florida.
