Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is seeking a change of zoning classification from RU-1-9 (Single-Family Residential) to RU-2-4 (Low-Density Multiple-Family Residential) for the purposes of legitimizing the subject parcel currently developed with two single-family residences that were built in 1959.
The subject property is the east ½ of lot 43 and all of lots 44 and 45 plat of Puryear Ward Plat of Mimis as recorded in Plat Book 1, page 4 of the Public Records of Brevard County. The configuration of the has not changed.
The subject property’s original zoning classification was RU-1 when the Brevard County Zoning Code was established on May 22, 1958. Under zoning action Z-2980, the zoning classification was reclassified to RU-1-9 on May 30, 1972.
The property to the north across Cherry St. is a 0.72-acre parcel developed with a single-family residence with RU-1-9 zoning and NC FLU designation. To the South across Caver St. are two parcels developed with a single-family residences with RU-1-9 zoning and NC FLU designation.
To the East, across Mitchell Ave. is a 0.24-acre parcel developed with a single-family residence with RU-1-9 zoning and RES 4 FLU designation. To the West of the subject property, is a 0.36-acre vacant parcel with RU-1-9 zoning and NC FLU designation.
The Board may consider if the request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
On January 12, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Board heard the request and unanimously recommended approval with a BDP restricting the use of resort dwellings. A representative of the applicant indicated during the meeting they are amenable to this restriction, as they intend for the subject property to be used as personal residence only.
