Summary

City Council voted unanimously to approve a first addendum to the 2003 development agreement for the WalMart Supercenter at 2700 Clear Lake Road, allowing a fuel station with a convenience store, requiring conveyance of up to 1 acre to the city for future right-of-way and including a one-year permit/vesting safeguard.

The City of Cocoa council voted to approve a first addendum to a 2003 development agreement with Walmart Stores East LP that would allow a fuel station and convenience store at the existing WalMart Supercenter at 2700 Clear Lake Road.

Planning staff (Lucy Ribeiro) said the addendum modernizes an outdated agreement, expands permitted on-site uses to include a fuel station as an accessory use and removes a previous requirement that the developer construct a connecting roadway. In exchange, the developer has agreed to convey up to one acre to the city at no cost for future right-of-way and to coordinate with the city on future roadway construction. Ribeiro also said the addendum includes a safeguard allowing the city to terminate the development agreement if the developer fails to obtain a building permit and begin vertical construction of the fuel station within one year of the effective date.

Council members asked about visual design and whether the station would support electric vehicle (EV) charging. Ribeiro said EV charging is not proposed in the current site plan. She also noted an exhibit includes a rendering and architectural standards will be referenced in the addendum.

A motion to approve the addendum passed unanimously. The addendum is intended to allow reinvestment in an existing commercial center, eliminate a roadway requirement that no longer aligns with current transportation planning, and reserve land that could support future widening or a roundabout coordinated with FDOT projects in the area.

What happens next: Staff said site plans are awaiting final DA approval and the applicant will pursue building permits after council approval. The addendum contains a one-year timeline for permit-driven progress; if permits are not pulled within that period, the city may terminate the agreement.
