Summary Explanation and Background:
This zoning action for Alternative Development Standards (ADS) is to support a companion Conditional Use Permit (CUP) (24Z00047) application for Commercial Entertainment and Amusement Enterprise use on 11.67 acres; located on a subset of Parcel 3 known as Parcel 3A. The applicant proposes an outdoor golf venue with 64 hitting bays located east of the AMC movie theatre within The Avenues.
Sec. 62-1442-The planned unit development is a concept which encourages and permits variation in development by allowing deviation in development standards. Where the PUD is part of a development of regional impact, the applicant may also propose alternative development standards to any land development regulation in articles II, VIII, IX, or XIII of chapter 62 of the Brevard County Code, in addition to those in articles VI or VII.
The applicant shall justify the proposed alternative development standard(s) by describing how it promotes a development form facilitating the goals and objectives of article VI of this chapter and does not violate the purpose of this chapter for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare in the subdivision of land. The proposed alternative development standards are:
Revised Lighting Performance Standards [Section 62-2257(b)(1) to apply only to those portions of the project utilized for the Sports and Entertainment activities within Parcel 3A and will not apply to site lighting associated with parking, driveway, landscape and similar areas. This alternative development standards includes two sub-components:
The requirement for cut-off type luminaries with light intensities greater than 2,780 initial lumens per source shall not extend to external lighting fixtures used in the Commercial Entertainment and Amusement Enterprise facilities. [Section 62-2257(b)(1)].
Revised Wall Signage Standards [Section 62-3316(a), Section 62-3316(c)(2) and Section 62-3316(h)(3)]. This proposal includes the following replacement language within the noted subsections:
Maximum surface area. A total sign surface area of two square feet for each linear foot of building perimeter. The sign surface area of freestanding signs, wall signs, projecting signs and window signs shall be utilized to calculate the maximum allowable cumulative sign surface area. [Section 62-3316(a) and Section 62-3316(h)(3)].
Size. The maximum allowable aggregate sign surface area for all wall signs on any structure shall not exceed one square foot per linear foot of building frontage. Wall signage and commercial lettering/script incorporated within a wall mural shall not exceed ten percent of the square footage of the building frontage, regardless of the number of signs. For Commercial Entertainment and Amusement Enterprises, such as driving ranges, “Building Frontage” shall be defined as the total length of the footprint of the facility for said use around the perimeter of the building, including the open side of the building which includes the hitting bays for the driving range. (excluding the parking lot areas and access to the building). [Section 62-3316(c)(2) and alteration of building frontage defined in Section 62-3301].
Revised Fence Height Limitation Standards [Section 62-2109(a)]. This proposal includes the following replacement language within the noted sub-section:
For Commercial Entertainment and Amusement Enterprises uses, such as driving ranges, not located adjacent to a residential classification, any fence on the property specific to the operation and function of a driving range or similar facility shall not exceed one hundred sixty-five (165) feet in height. Fences associated with other uses, such as perimeter screening, landscape and hardscape improvements or similar items shall be subject to the criteria and requirements outlined in Section 62-2109 of the Brevard County Land Development Code. [Section 62-2109(a)].
The Board may wish to consider the compatibility of the proposed alternative development standards for removed lighting performance standards, increased on-premises wall signage and increased fence height standards to support the companion CUP request.
The Board may also consider including a condition that the applicant must demonstrate during the site plan process and provide applicable permits prior to approval that the lighting configuration does not adversely affect conditions for traffic traveling along I-95. Applicant shall meet all local, state, and federal regulations regarding lighting, unless expressly waived.
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.
