Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant requests a Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment (SSCPA) to change the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) from Residential 6 (RES 6) to Community Commercial (CC) on two adjacent parcels totaling 2.91 acres to facilitate a rezoning from BU-1-A (Restricted Neighborhood Retail Commercial), and AU (Agricultural Residential) to BU-2 (Retail, Warehousing, and Wholesale Commercial) for the future development and expansion of an established general contractor’s office that requires indoor and outdoor storage of construction materials and commercial vehicles.
A significant portion of the south parcel contains mapped wetlands and hydric soil. A wetland delineation will be required prior to any land clearing activities, site plan design, or building permit submittal.
The existing Future Land Use designation of RES 6 was established with the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2010-1 on August 26, 2010. The current BU-1-A zoning classification for the parcel to the north does provide for general contractor's administrative offices but prohibits outside storage of materials or products. The current AU zoning on the parcel to the south and the FLUM designation of RES 6 on both properties does not provide for the proposed use of a general contractor’s office that requires indoor and outdoor storage of construction materials and commercial vehicles. The applicant has submitted a companion rezoning application, 26Z00020, requesting a change of zoning from BU-1-A (Restricted Neighborhood Retail Commercial) and AU (Agricultural Residential) to BU-2 (Retail, Warehousing, and Wholesale Commercial). The applicant has indicated a willingness to enter into a Binding Development Plan agreement to limit BU-2 uses and provide required privacy screening for adjacent properties.
The property to the north of the subject properties is a 0.98-acre parcel, zoned AU with RES 6 FLU designation, and developed with a single-family residence built in 1965. South of the subject properties is a 0.99-acre parcel, zoned AU with NC FLU designation, and developed with a single-family residence built in 1953. Six residential properties abut the subject properties to the east; all developed with single-family residences. Five of the six properties are zoned RU-1-9, and the northernmost property is zoned RR-1 (Rural Residential). West of the subject properties across the S. John Rodes Blvd. right-of-way are three parcels within Brevard County jurisdiction and one parcel within the jurisdiction of the City of West Melbourne. The northernmost parcel within Brevard County jurisdiction is 6.8 acres, developed with a single-family residence and zoned AU with RES 15 FLU designation. The second parcel is a vacant 2.9-acre lot and zoned AU with NC FLU, and the southern 0.39-acre parcel is zoned RA-2-10 with NC FLU designation and is vacant. The parcel within the City of West Melbourne is developed with a 316-unit multi-family apartment complex with R-3 multi-family zoning and UD-RES FLU (18 units per acre).
The Board may wish to consider if the request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
On July 13, 2026, the Local Planning Agency considered the request and voted unanimously to recommend approval.
