Zimmerman, who identified her address in Mims, told the board the change would align zoning with an existing Agricultural future land use designation and allow a future home, a small nursery and limited livestock.

Item H2 was an application by Nicholas Duffy in District 3 to change zoning from BU-1 to BU-2 to permit indoor-outdoor storage for boats and recreational vehicles. Duffy said the project would use a binding development plan (BDP) similar to prior approvals in the area that keep outdoor storage behind a front-facing building; the board’s motion expressly limited BU-2 uses to outdoor storage for RVs and boats with an accompanying BDP.

Engineer Bruce Moya presented the application for JScribe LLC and described a redevelopment that would refurbish existing motel buildings, add a new building and reconfigure amenities (pool, clubhouse and outdoor spaces). Moya said the change replaces transient lodging with long-term rentals and would reduce the number of transient units while adding modern residential units and on-site amenities.

Board discussion praised the redevelopment potential for a tired commercial strip, noted the site’s existing signalized access on SR 520, and raised standard concerns about demolition issues such as asbestos that would be checked during permitting. The board voted unanimously to recommend approval; both items will proceed to the County Commission for final action.","The board recommended approval of a plan to convert an aging motel on State Road 520 into multifamily residential units and townhomes, with unanimous support from members.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6118610,"Planning board splits then approves Songer Trust land-use and rezoning requests after debate on Mims-area small-area study",504,708000,1212000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2723086-cb677e8bfdd5c3feff3ff0382f4004a3&start=708&end=1212","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2723086-cb677e8bfdd5c3feff3ff0382f4004a3/thumbnail_708000.jpg","/articles/6118610/Brevard-County/Florida/Planning-board-splits-then-approves-Songer-Trust-land-use-and-rezoning-requests-after-debate-on-Mims-area-small-area-study","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6118610-0a8bab130c0d64a8ea30acd2a28a1e6b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171296&Signature=DEcF-CM-sBTC8sa3oBxA4OdnqagV1LoT7-nHmDMki-iyxl1DwrwE~Aw85DTmLzPMOox2fnlZgIsy1uABf7IyS0erkMFD~x70mpZ513FHi~sN9xreLQ0~80zVSLNrY5PwWNLiWhy2MZ7QKS9vB0hHSrjs1W4M5hAQ0GH4pOSCpUXWPYhcA49ESaFCjO3rgbCFyNF1NZkao3dT~uTPFussus65HUmGtOvJSLHjdw7EcnZhnwUp9uZIpKDGZwI5woaMjTvS3M-ScYoedCWd9umSsXRqH5xs0mMU~LkGAI4zXqCZkTpXZQ53FeCx4hkbSUOydLUbaDMUJe8bOuMeEPMUBQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning and Zoning Board considered two companion items (H3 and H4) from the Lily Songer Trust requesting (1) a small-scale comprehensive plan amendment to change future land use from Agricultural to Residential Single-Family (RAS-1) and (2) a zoning change to RR MH-1. Applicant Thomas Songer said the request would allow placement of a second mobile home adjacent to family property and clarified the parcel is roughly nine acres.

Board member Ruth asked whether the site was part of the county’s Mims Small Area Study and whether that study had changed future land use in the area. County staff said they did not note the property in staff comments as part of the study but later confirmed the area had been affected by a 2016 amendment; staff also noted Natural Resources indicated wetlands on about a third of the parcel. Several board members raised concerns about a development trend that could erode agricultural future land use if many parcels were reclassified.

Following discussion the board first recorded a motion to deny the future land use change (H3) that carried among three members; the board then took a subsequent motion to approve H3, which passed with three members recorded as opposed. The companion rezoning (H4) was similarly debated; the board recorded a motion to deny and then later approved the rezoning in a separate vote, with three members opposed. The record shows the items will be forwarded to the County Commission for final action.

No formal development plan or additional site engineering information was provided at the meeting; staff noted wetland delineations by Natural Resources and the property’s limitations related to that natural resource area. The board’s discussion emphasized the difference between the land-use map decision and future site-level permitting requirements, which will address wetlands and septic/sewer questions at later stages.","After deliberation, the board recommended approval of a small-scale future land use map change and a companion rezoning for property tied to the Lily Songer Trust; the item generated questions about whether the property had been included in the Mims Small Area Study and about wetlands.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6118614,"Planning board recommends approval of CityPoint Landfall PUD after residents raise flooding and traffic concerns",5264,1336000,6600000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2723086-cb677e8bfdd5c3feff3ff0382f4004a3&start=1336&end=6600","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2723086-cb677e8bfdd5c3feff3ff0382f4004a3/thumbnail_1336000.jpg","/articles/6118614/Brevard-County/Florida/Planning-board-recommends-approval-of-CityPoint-Landfall-PUD-after-residents-raise-flooding-and-traffic-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6118614-0dbaa2648c6a2a53f87c820cd5cd5ffe/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171296&Signature=LA1mzEmU30cWad-pn0QFCK-1fkI-OIKWyr6AQMdj1ydb-RFZPoWXAxX8uSIN6sz0MIhgJq4eOv4x-gs70XnFiU4at5Xwdflg0H6quAjfW~NgxzqTsdTrqVOsQD5PF9mw4kWStNaqDik4K3kiJXUV89tSm5Nj5me-J2Hh~auLkNHv5263MEOX6LP3zwNBhhKUF6XmIj-g~Msz~EhkVBzwgnFVBJNrd5XFSa-nFyLmmWadbZ9vMHk~Zre73Kdt~VeygCY~rWPu1oWN7nNFseBSaFHE1Id2uy2BQxu72l6ouWXPgCCux~GmjG2NBaXW90UUvsnV0gCagqFbPfWWAdCs4Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Brevard County Planning and Zoning Board on the item recorded as H5 and H6 recommended approval of a small-scale comprehensive plan amendment and a planned unit development (PUD) rezoning for a 12.86-acre property known in the record as CityPoint Landfall LLC.

The applicant, represented by attorney Kim Rozanca of Lacey Lyons Rozanca and engineer Bruce Moya, asked to change several existing future land use categories — including neighborhood commercial and multiple residential categories — to allow a mix of residential lots, townhomes and an enclosed RV-storage building. Rozanca told the board the proposal would yield 19 residential units (11 single-family and eight attached townhomes), retain roughly 2.36 acres of wetlands and provide common open space and a 15-foot exterior buffer preserved as tract area under the preliminary development plan (PDP).

The plan drew more than a dozen public speakers, most opposing the changes. Commenters living along Indian River Drive and in the adjacent Parkchester and Brookhill subdivisions said the area already floods after storms, that local roads are narrow and unsafe for additional turning movements, and that the development would increase impervious surface near a Coquina ridge and fragile aquifer-recharge soils. Several speakers also said the project area includes a pioneer cemetery nearby and asked how that grave site would be protected. Bruce Moya, the applicant’s engineer, said the project would be required to meet county, FDOT and St. Johns River Water Management District stormwater and drainage standards and that the post-development discharge would be treated and reduced compared with current uncontrolled flow.

Board members questioned circulation, drainage engineering and community outreach. Rozanca and Moya said residential access would be separate from the commercial access and that the small parking area on the riverfront would be an HOA-controlled amenity for residents, not a public lot. They also said the enclosed RV storage would have no outdoor storage and that townhomes would be sold fee simple rather than retained by a single owner for rental.

After public comment and applicant responses, a motion to recommend approval carried. During the roll call and subsequent remarks the board recorded opposition from three members. One board member asked the applicant to hold a neighborhood meeting before the county commission hearing; the applicant said the developer would consider it and the applicant’s representative later agreed to follow up with further neighborhood outreach.

Votes and formal actions recorded on the item appear in the public record and the item will go to the Board of County Commissioners for final action on the date listed on the county agenda (noted in materials as April 3, 2025).","The Brevard County Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of a future land use amendment and PUD rezoning for a 12.86-acre CityPoint Landfall proposal after extended public comment about drainage, traffic and wetlands; three members opposed.","actionData","errors"]
