Mid Florida Credit Union seeks approval for new mortgage office site plan

The Vero Beach Planning & Zoning meeting held on February 6, 2025, commenced with a review of the agenda, which remained unchanged from previous discussions. The council then moved to approve the minutes from the last meeting. A minor amendment was proposed regarding the wording in the minutes, specifically to strike the first sentence of the second paragraph on page three and to begin the second sentence with "Mr. Bittner said." After this adjustment, the minutes were approved unanimously.

Following the approval, the meeting opened the floor for public comments. No members of the audience chose to speak, leading to the closure of this section.

The first public hearing addressed a quasi-judicial matter concerning a site plan application submitted by Mid Florida Credit Union. The proposal involved the construction of a 2,800 square foot mortgage office along with four drive-thru teller lanes at 2800 Twentieth Street, designated as SP 23000002. The council confirmed the presence of the applicant and proceeded to inquire about any ex parte communications related to the application. All members indicated there had been no such communications.

The meeting continued with this structured approach, ensuring all procedural requirements were met before delving deeper into the specifics of the site plan application. Further discussions and decisions regarding this application are expected in subsequent meetings.
