Recommendation
It is requested that the Local Planning Agency conduct a public hearing to consider a Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the Future Land Use designation from CC (Community Commercial) to PI (Planned Industrial).

Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is seeking to amend 3.66 acres of land from the Future Land Use designation of CC (Community Commercial) to PI (Planned Industrial). Currently, the subject parcel is vacant, located on the southwest corner of N. Tropical Trail and N. Courtenay Parkway. The applicant is seeking this Future Land Use change in order to provide supplies, parts, and services to the Kennedy Space Center.
The surrounding area has a mixture of commercial, institutional, and residential Future Land Uses.
A companion rezoning application was submitted accompanying this request for a zoning change from BU-1 (General Retail Commercial) to PI (Planned Industrial Park).
The Board may wish to consider if this request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area given that it will be introducing the PI Future Land Use in the area.
The Board may also wish to consider that a portion of the property is mapped as being within the floodplain as identified by FEMA Flood Zone maps. Objective 5 of the Conservation Element of the Comprehensive Plan seeks to preserve, protect, restore and replace wetlands to achieve no net loss of functional wetlands.
The North Merritt Island Dependent Special District Board will hear the request on Thursday, January 7th. Staff will inform the LPA of their recommendation at the January 11th meeting.
