Recommendation
It is requested that the Planning & Zoning Board conduct a public hearing to consider a change of zoning classification from IU (Light industrial) to IU-1 (Heavy industrial).
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting a change of zoning classification from IU (Light Industrial) to IU-1 (Heavy Industrial) on 10.46 acres of the subject property. The change will provide uniform zoning and consistency with the requested Future Land Use Map designation. The applicant proposes to expand the existing air separation plant to increase production capacity. The applicant will need to obtain Conditional Use approval for the aforementioned uses/improvements prior to site plan approval. The Board will have the opportunity to apply approval conditions which mitigate potential impact with the Conditional Use Permit (CUP).
The proposed IU-1 is the heaviest industrial zoning classification in the Code. Sec. 62-1544. - Heavy Industrial, conditional uses include arsenals and explosives, hazardous waste facility, heavy industry as defined in Sec. 62-1102, and metal salvage yards and junkyards. A companion application 24SS00016, if approved, would amend the FLUM designation from PI and RES 2 to Heavy/Light Industrial (IND).
North; three vacant parcels, 10 acre with AU zoning, 1.88 acre with AU, 22 acre with RR-1 zoning vacant, and a 1 acre parcel developed as flag lot with RRMH-1 zoning, all with RES 2 FLU. East; FEC Railway bounded by 0.48 acre parcel with GML zoning, 2.44 acre parcel classified by BCPAO as not suitable for occupancy with AU zoning and RES 2 FLU designation, part of 22.02 acres with PIP zoning with PI FLU designation. South; is one parcel, acre parcel with IU-1 zoning and IND FLU designation. West; are two parcels, 16.5 acre and 8 acre vacant parcels with RR-1 zoning and RES 2 FLU designation.
The Board may wish to consider whether the expansion of IU-1 zoning classification is compatible with the surrounding residentially zoned area.
The Board and the applicant should be advised that the activities on the property must comply with the standards in the Brevard County Code of Ordinances, including, but not limited to, Chapter 46, Article IV, Noise, and Sections 62-1483 and 62-1833.5.
The applicant must ensure any on-site improvements comply with the applicable standards and specifications established by the Brevard County Code.
The Board of County Commissioners will consider the request on Thursday, February 6, 2025, 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.
