Recommendation
It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners conduct a public hearing to consider a change of zoning classification from GU (General Use) to EU (Estate Use Residential).
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from GU (General Use) to EU (Estate Use Residential) on a 0.72 acre parcel to have the zoning classification consistent with the parcel’s lot size. The applicant plans to build a new single-family residence. The parcel was split into its current configuration on February 01, 2005, making the parcel substandard to the GU lot size requirements.
The GU zoning is the original zoning for the parcel which allows for single-family residences on a five acre lot with a minimum width and depth of 300 feet. The minimum house size in GU is 750 square feet.
The proposed EU classification is an estate single family residential zoning classification. The minimum lot size is 15,000 square feet with a minimum lot width and depth of 100 feet. The minimum living area is 2,000 square feet. In addition, the EU zoning classification may be considered consistent with Neighbor Commercial (NC) Future Land Use designation.
North of the subject property is a single-family residence with EU zoning. South of the subject property is a single-family residence with RU-1-13 zoning. East of the subject property is the Indian River Lagoon. West of the subject property across Highway US-1 is a commercial property, developed with a dog kennel and BU-1 zoning.
The Board may wish to consider if the request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area and the comprehensive plan.
On November 18, 2024 the Planning and Zoning Board heard the request and unanimously recommended approval.
