End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from GU (General Use) to RU-1-11 (Single-Family Residential) on a 0.17-acre property to have a zoning classification that is consistent with the property’s lot size. The parcel was subdivided from a 2.42-acre parent property, and the current configuration was recorded on September 10, 1997, in OR Book 3707, Page 3052, of the Public Records of Brevard County, Florida. The original parent property was recorded in Plat Book 2, Page 2, of the Public Records of Brevard County, Florida in February 1911.
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.
The subdivision created a lot that is inadequate to the GU lot size requirements. The subject property meets these minimum size requirements for RU-1-11. Approval of the RU-1-11 would be the introduction of a new zoning classification in the area. The subject property would also meet the lot size, width, and depth requirements of RU-1-9 and RU-1-7, which are already established in the area.
The subject property is vacant and undeveloped and has frontage on Capron Rd. and Dunbar St., both of which are county-maintained roadways.
The property to the north of the subject property is a 0.26-acre lot improved with a single-family home built in 1960, zoned GU. The property to the south, across Dunbar St., is a 0.16-acre parcel developed with a single-family home built in 1965; zoned RU-1-7. To the east of the subject property, across Capron Rd., is a 0.26-acre parcel developed with a single-family home built in 2004; zoned RU-1-9. The property west of the subject property is a 1.34-acre parcel developed with a single-family home built in 1980, zoned GU. All the properties described are within the RES-8_DIR FLUM.
The Board should consider if the request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
The Planning and Zoning Board will consider the request on Monday June 16, 2025, beginning at 3:00 p.m. and the Board of County Commissioners on Thursday July 17, 2025, beginning at 5:00 p.m. The meetings will be held at the Brevard County Government Center, 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Commission Room, Viera, Florida.
