Recommendation
It is requested that the Planning & Zoning Board conduct a public hearing to consider an amendment to an existing BDP (Binding Development Plan) in a BU-2 (Retail, Warehousing, and Wholesale Commercial) zoning classification.
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting an amendment to an existing BDP to allow for a new site layout that is different than the previously approved BDP. The new BDP removes the use limitation of the existing BDP. The subject parcel is currently undeveloped with frontage on Freeman Lane which is a County paved and maintained road.
The BU-2 classification permits retail, wholesale, and warehousing commercial land uses on minimum 7,500 square-foot lots. BU-2 zoning is the county’s most intense commercial zoning classification due to the intensive nature of commercial activities permitted. Off-site impacts such as, noise, light, traffic and other potential nuisance factors associated with BU-2 activities should be considered. The BU-2 zoning classification allows outside storage of retail items including, but not limited to, motor vehicles, utility sheds, nursery items such as plants and trees, boats and mobile homes.
The developed character of the surrounding area is predominantly commercial in the vicinity of Freeman Lane and on the east side of Waelti Drive, with two single-family residences along the north side of Freeman Lane. There is an existing pattern of BU-2 zoning surrounding the subject parcel between Waelti Drive and Turner Road. The west side of Waelti Drive is a subdivision with PUD (Planned Unit Development) zoning.
The Board may wish to consider if the proposed BDP mitigates potential impacts on the surrounding area.
The Board of County Commissioners will consider the request on Thursday, May 4, 2023, 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.
