Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting a Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment (SSCPA) to change the Future Land Use Map from RES 1:2.5 on a portion 16 vacant parcels totaling approximately 14.14 acres to CC. All parcels within the subject property retain the original RES 1:2.5 FLUM and GU zoning. The current adopted FLUM is not consistent with the requested zoning.
The applicant has a companion rezoning application, 24Z00036, requesting a change from GU to BU-2 (Retail, Warehousing and Wholesale Commercial) with a Binding Development Plan (BDP) limiting the BU-2 uses to self-storage mini-warehouse and outdoor storage of recreational vehicles and boats.
Within the unincorporated surrounding area, there has been a significant transition taking place with regards to land use from an area that is rural in nature to one that is postured to become more urban. Meanwhile, there is currently limited infrastructure (roadway, sewer and water) in place to support the development potential. The applicant will need to demonstrate there is adequate infrastructure to facilitate the development during the permitting process. The subject parcel is located on the northside of Willowbrook Street, a county-maintained roadway. The road pavement is in poor condition and needs resurfacing for it to support any commercial development.
FLUE Policy 2.8- Locational and Development Criteria for Community Commercial Uses states that Community Commercial should be located at the intersection of a collector/arterial intersections. The subject property is not located at an intersection. Neither Babcock Street SE or Willowbrook Street are classified as principal arterial/principal arterial intersections.
North is a 41.39 acre undeveloped parcel with PUD (Planned Unit Development) zoning; East are 2 properties 0.86 acres (undeveloped) and 14.86 acres (classified by the BCPAO as a agriculture use) with RES 1:2.5 FLU and GU zoning. West are 2 properties, 1.02 acres and 0.86 acres, both undeveloped with AU and GU zoning classifications, respectively.
South across Willowbrook St., the Board recently approved Large Scale FLUM amendment application, from RES 1:2.5 to RES 4 & CC, on approximately 1,109 acres which includes 27 acres of Community Commercial accessing off of Babcock Street. Current infrastructure is not in place to support commercial development along this roadway segment.
The Board may wish to consider if the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the surrounding area.
The Board of County Commissioners will consider the request on Thursday, October 3, 2024. Beginning at 5:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Brevard County Government Center, 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Commission Room, Viera, Florida.
