It is requested that the Port Saint John Special District Board consider a Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment (24.012), to change the Future Land Use designation from PI (Planned Industrial) to RES 4 (Residential 4)
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting a Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment (SSCPA) to change the Future Land Use Map from PI to RES 4 on a 1.1 acre parcel. The applicant has a companion rezoning application, 24Z00042, requesting a change from General Use (GU) and RU-1-11 (Residential single-family) to all RU-1-11.
The current adopted FLUM is not consistent with the requested zoning or the current zoning. The applicant’s intent is to split the parcel into two separate lots and construct (2) single family residences.
A majority of the subject parcel contains mapped National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) and St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) wetlands and hydric soils (Tomoka muck, undrained). The subject property is bifurcated by a 40 feet drainage easement as recorded in O.R. 3327, Page 4501. The open ditch traversing the property is classified as a riverine wetland.
Per Section 62 3694(c)(1), residential land uses within wetlands shall be limited to not more than one (1) dwelling unit per five (5) acres unless strict application of this policy renders a legally established parcel as of September 9, 1988, which is less than five (5) acres, as unbuildable. This density may be applied as a maximum percentage limiting wetland impacts to not more than 1.8% of the total residential acreage as set forth in Section 62-3694(c)(6). Any permitted wetland impacts must meet the requirements of Section 62-3694(e) including avoidance of impacts and will require mitigation in accordance with Section 62-3696.
The maximum allowable area of wetland impacts is 0.02 acres (870 square feet). The development potential of the subject property may be limited due to the environmental impacts.
The developed character of the surrounding area is a mix of commercial, single-family residential, and industrial uses. To the north and east is a 48.25 acre vacant parcel with a PI (Planned Industrial) Land Use designation and a zoning classification of PIP (Planned Industrial Park) owned by FPL. To the south is Curtis Blvd. Across the street is a 0.24 acre vacant parcel with a RU-1-9 (Single-family Residential) zoning, and a RES 4 FLU designation. Immediately adjacent to the west of the subject parcel is a .28 acre developed residential lot. The property is zoned RU-1-11 (Single-family Residential) with a RES 4 FLU designation.
The Board may wish to consider if the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the surrounding area. The Board may also consider if RES 4 is consistent with Administrative Policy #7.
The Local Planning Agency will consider the request on Monday, November 18, 2024, beginning at 3:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Brevard County Government Center, 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Commission Room, Viera, Florida.
The Board of County Commissioners will consider the request on Thursday, December 12, 2024, 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.
