End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting a change of zoning classification from BU-1 (General Retail Commercial) on 1.48 acres to BU-2 (General Retail, Warehousing and Wholesale Commercial) to allow for the development of an outdoor RV/ boat storage business. At the time of application, the applicant did not supply a concept plan.
The subject parcel is located adjacent to the west side of U.S. Highway 1, a state-maintained roadway, approximately 264 feet south of McCullough Road.
It should be noted that the applicant also owns property abutting to the south, approved under 17PZ00118, to rezone the property to BU-2 with a Binding Development Plan (BDP). The applicant intended to add a storage yard for outdoor figurines and to manufacture such items. The BDP limited the use of the property to the BU-2 use of manufacturing and outdoor storage of concrete yard ornamental figurines and statues, while retaining, without limitation, all rights, provisions, and activities allowed under the BU-1 zoning classification.
Natural Resource Department staff notes that a small portion of this property is located within an area mapped as FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) A, as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The parcel is subject to the development criteria in Conservation Element Objective 4, its subsequent policies, and the Floodplain Ordinance, including compensatory storage. Protected and Specimen trees likely exist on the parcel.
There is an active Natural Resources Code Enforcement case (20CE-02010) for unpermitted land clearing activities on the property in 2020. The case is pending.
North of the subject property is one (1) 0.91-acre parcel, undeveloped with AU zoning classification and NC FLU. South of the subject property is one (1) 2.98-acre parcel, developed with a motor inn (Sandman Motel), BU-2 zoning classification and CC FLU. East of the subject property is Highway 1, a four lane, state-maintained roadway. Two (2) properties across Highway 1 from the subject property are zoned AU with a NC FLU. One property is developed with a single-family home. The other property is vacant and is the subject of zoning action 26Z00015 and Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment 26SS00005 with a request to change the zoning from AU to BU-1, with a FLU change from NC to CC. West of the subject property is one (1) 11.15-acre parcel, undeveloped, has AU zoning classification and NC FLU plus RES1:2.5 FLU.
The board may wish to consider if the request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
The Board of County Commissioners will consider the request on Thursday, August 06, 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.
