It is requested that the North Merritt Island Dependent Special District Board review and make a recommendation on a proposed ordinance amending Brevard County Code of Ordinances, Chapter 98, Article V, North Merritt Island Dependent Special District Board, Section 98-145.
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
On March 23, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) granted legislative intent and permission to advertise the proposed ordinance. The proposed change allows all zoning actions and Comprehensive Plan changes, regardless if there is a potential for an increase in residential density, to proceed to the Planning & Zoning Board and/or the Local Planning Agency for a recommendation to the BCC in the event there is no quorum for the NMI meeting, allowing requests to move expeditiously through the review process.
The North Merritt Island Dependent Special District Board (NMI Board) was created in 1998, per Ordinance 1998-59, for the purpose of providing the citizens of North Merritt Island a formal means of establishing an elected advisory board to review and provide the Board of County Commissioners with recommendations on particular matters affecting property in the NMI Special District boundary. The NMI Board also reviews and provides the BCC with recommendations on matters such as priority, location, maintenance, and the use of public improvements or infrastructure.
On April 14, 2021, the Building Construction Advisory Committee heard the proposed ordinance and unanimously recommended approval.
The Local Planning Agency will hear the proposed ordinance on Monday, July 26, 2021, at 3:00 p.m. The BCC will hear the proposed ordinance on Tuesday, August 3, 2021, at 5:00 p.m. Both meetings will be held at the Viera Government Center, 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Building C, 1st Floor, Viera, Florida.
If approved by the Board, implementation will begin with the August 6th application submittal deadline for the October/November rezoning cycle.
