Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting to change the zoning from RU-1-9 to RU-2-6 on a 0.81-acre site. The purpose of the request is to retain improvements that were in place at the time of purchase (April 25, 2025). The improvements include a single-family home built in 1976, as well as a detached structure built in 2006. The 2006 structure includes a 792 square foot ground-level drive-through portico, and a ground-level 900 square foot garage on the west side of the portico. On the east side of the portico is rental unit one, with an area of 891 square feet. The remainder of the 2006 structure includes a second-floor area with rental units 2 and 3, each containing 660 square feet. The request for RU-2-6 low-density multi-family units is consistent with the RES 6 FLU.
Potential land development constraints include, but are not limited to, structural height standards (Section 62-1371(8)(a), Brevard County Code of Ordinances), breezeway/visual corridor requirements (Section 62-2105), and parking requirements (Section 62-3206). The subject property abuts a single-family zoned parcel to the north, which will restrict building height to 35 feet. The subject property requires a 30% breezeway corridor with its new zoning. The existing improvements impede this requirement, and a variance was submitted and approved. The site is sufficient in size to accommodate the required parking, which will be addressed in a site plan.
