The West Melbourne City Council approved second readings of two ordinances to change the future land use and zoning for a 0.67± acre parcel that the city recently annexed as part of the Coastal Crossings development.

Staff presentation: Miss Fisher (staff member) explained the parcel is a small triangular site east of I‑95 and west of Falcon Ridge, previously in Brevard County. The requested future‑land‑use change would place the lot in the city’s Medium‑Density Residential category; the companion rezoning application changes the parcel from the county’s AU (agricultural/residential) designation to City of West Melbourne R‑2, a multifamily district.

The city attorney read the formal titles of both ordinances into the record before the council voted. The presentation noted the parcel is addressed in the developer’s development agreement and that the property is intended to be used in conjunction with the larger development and will be dedicated to the city at an agreed stage in the project.

Council action: Mr. Frampus moved to approve the second reading of Ordinance 2025‑21 (future land use map amendment); Ms. Adams seconded. The motion passed 7–0. Ms. Voltz moved and Mr. Gaylord seconded the second reading of Ordinance 2025‑22 (rezoning); that motion also passed 7–0.

Why it matters: The approvals align the parcel’s land‑use designation and zoning with the developer’s planned uses and the city’s comprehensive plan policies for medium‑density residential near the highway corridor. Staff said the change allows the developer to count tree mitigation on the parcel in concert with build‑out of the primary site, and that the parcel’s transfer to city ownership is provided for in the development agreement.

Ending: Both ordinances took effect per the city’s ordinance schedule. No public speakers had cards for this item and councilmembers recorded no dissents.
