It is requested that the North Merritt Island Dependent Special District Board conduct a public hearing to consider a change of zoning classification from PIP (Planned Industrial Park) to RR-1 (Rural Residential).
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is seeking a change of zoning classification from PIP (Planned Industrial Park) to RR-1 (Rural Residential) for the purpose of creating two residential lots. The applicant also wishes to be able to build a single-family home on the east parcel. The parcels appear to be configured as flag lots. The PIP zoning does not permit a flag lot configuration; however residential parcels can be administratively approved per Section 62-102(B) to utilize them for frontages less than 125 feet of road frontage. If approved, the applicants will be required to have the two parcels administratively approved as Flag Lots.
The proposed RR-1 zoning permits single-family residential land uses on a minimum one acre lot, with a minimum lot width and depth of 125 feet, and a minimum house size of 1,200 square feet. The RR-1 classification permits horses, barns and horticulture as accessory uses to a single-family residence. The keeping of horses and agricultural uses are accessory to a principle residence.
The applicants have also applied for a companion application to change the FLU (Future Land Use) designation from PI (Planned Industrial) to RES 1 (Residential 1) FLU. The Residential 1 designation permits low density residential development with a maximum density of up to one (1) dwelling unit per acre, except as otherwise may be provided for within the Future Land Use Element.
The existing development of the surrounding area along Dalbora Road is described as single-family homes on lots that meet the one dwelling unit per acre density allowed by the RES 1 Future Land Use. A FLU designation of RES 1 is necessary to be compatible with the propose RR-1 zoning.
The Board may wish to consider whether the request to RR-1 is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
The Planning and Zoning Board will hear the request on Monday, August 23, 2021, at 3:00 p.m. at the Brevard County Government Center, 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Building C, 1st Floor, Viera, Florida.
The Brevard County Board of County Commissioners will hear the request on Thursday, November 4, 2021, at 5:00 p.m. at the Brevard County Government Center, 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Building C, 1st Floor, Viera, Florida.
