Recommendation
It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners conduct a public hearing to consider a Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment (24S.02), to change the Future Land Use Designation from AGRIC (Agricultural) to RES 6 (Residential 6) or, alternatively, to the lower density designation of RES 1:2.5 that the applicant has agreed to.
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Future Land Use Map designation from AGRIC to RES 6 on a 17.01 acre parcel to allow the development of this vacant property as a tiny home development. After this item was heard by the Local Planning Agency on August 12, 2024, the applicant expressed their willingness to agree to the lower density land use designation of RES 1:2.5.
A companion rezoning application has been submitted accompanying this request to change the zoning classification from RRMH-1 (Rural Residential Mobile Home-1) to TR-3 (Mobile Home Park) on the 17.01 acre subject property (24Z00005). However, the owner/applicant has since revised this application to request RRMH-2.5 zoning.
Staff has included an addendum to provide the analysis of the requested change.
North of the subject property is vacant, zoned RRMH-1 and AGRIC FLU. To the east and west of the subject property are single-family, site-built homes, zoned GU/RRMH-1, both with AGRIC FLUM designations. To the south, the Hidden Lakes subdivision with one-half acre lots for mobile homes has a RES 2 FLUM designation. Several lots are owned by Brevard County and have a PUB-CONS FLUM designation due to the presence of wetlands. These lots have TR-2 zoning.
Subsequent to this application being received, a complaint was filed regarding unpermitted land clearing and alteration activities, including in wetlands. As of September 24, 2024, there are Natural Resources Code enforcement cases pending on three of the six parcels included in this request.
The applicant has provided a concept plan, attached. The Board should be aware that this concept plan is non-binding and should be used for informational purposes only; it has not been reviewed for conformance to County regulations.
The Board should consider if the request is an introduction of RES 6 into the area. The Board may also consider if the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the surrounding area.
On August 12, 2024, the Local Planning Agency heard the request and unanimously recommended denial of the request based on concerns for the impact on Hog Valley Road with the density increase.
On September 5, 2024, the Board of County Commissioners continued the request for a Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment (24S.02) to the October 3, 2024, Board of County Commissioners Meeting.
Please note: The Board’s action on this application is independent to the rezoning and acceptance of the BDP, which limits the density.
Clerk to the Board Instructions:
Once filed with the State, please return a copy of the ordinance to Planning and Development.
