Recommendation
It is requested that the Planning and Zoning Board conduct a public hearing to consider a change of zoning classification from AU (Agricultural Residential) to RU-1-11 (Single-Family Residential).
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting a change of zoning classification on 0.29 acres from AU to RU-1-11 to develop a single-family residence.
The subject property was split out from lot G on April 20, 2006, and was recorded in ORB 5634 Pg 2340, thus creating a substandard lot. The subject property’s dimensions for minimum lot width, lot depth, and lot area each fail to meet current AU zoning standards. From May 22, 1958, to March 6, 1975, the AU zoning classification had minimum lot criteria of 125 feet width and depth, and a minimum lot area of 1.0 acre. Since the lot was created after March 1975, it cannot be considered a non-conforming lot of record. The current lot has a width of 89 ft. and a depth of 141.08 ft.
North of the subject property is a 0.28-acre vacant lot zoned AU. South is 0.28-acre vacant lot zoned AU. To the East of the subject property is a 0.34-acre vacant lot zoned RU-1-11. West across Mitchell Ave is a single-family home built on 0.17 acres and constructed in 2018 zoned AU.
The Board may wish to consider whether the request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
The Board of County Commissioners will consider the request on Thursday July 17, 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.
