Recommendation
It is requested that the Planning and Zoning Board conduct a public hearing to consider a change of zoning classification from BU-1 (General Retail Commercial) with a CUP (Conditional Use Permit) to BU-1 (General Retail Commercial) with a CUP (Conditional Use Permit) for Alcoholic Beverages for On-Premises Consumption, accessory to a restaurant.

Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant’s request is to expand a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Alcoholic Beverages for On-Premises Consumption from a 2COP (beer and wine) license to a 4COP (full liquor, beer, and wine) license in conjunction with a restaurant. The current approval for a 2COP (beer and wine) was approved administratively on March 7, 2024, under zoning action 24AA00006. The applicant has been operating the restaurant Doc’s Smokehouse at this location since 2024.
The subject property has been previously utilized as a restaurant, Mims Southern BBQ. The proposed use is for a restaurant expanding sales of alcoholic beverages from a 2COP to a 4COP license to serve full liquor, beer, and wine.
The applicant applied for an Administrative Action originally under 25AA00045; however, the applicant did not meet the State criteria under Florida Statute Section 561.20(2)(a)4 to obtain the 4COP Special Food Service (SFS) license (full liquor, beer & wine) due to not having the minimum 120 seats. The applicant was notified that they would need to apply as a 4COP(Quota) as an eating and drinking establishment. Section 62-1906, Brevard County Code of Ordinances, requires an application to be processed for a CUP by public hearing for Alcoholic Beverages for On-Premises Consumption in conjunction with an eating and drinking establishment.
The subject property is within the septic moratorium area. Any potential development requiring a septic permit could potentially be affected by this moratorium. For further information regarding the septic moratorium, the property owner would need to reach out to Department of Environmental Health, which issues septic permits.
North of the subject property is a 1.94-acre parcel, developed with a restaurant/ cafeteria, zoned BU-1 with CC FLU. South of the subject property is one parcel, 1.9 acres, undeveloped, zoned BU-1 with CC FLU. East of the subject property is a 17.29-acre parcel, developed condo association land, zoned RVP with NC FLU. West of the subject property is Highway 1, a state-maintained right-of-way.
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 February 05, 2026, beginning at 5:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Brevard County Government Center, 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Building C, Commission Room, Viera, Florida.
