Council approves package of land-use ordinances, property donation and design contracts
Summary
At its March 10 meeting, Melbourne City Council approved a resolution donating the city-owned DAV building, adopted multiple zoning and annexation ordinances, approved a street-right vacation second reading, and authorized design services for Holmes Park; several items passed by roll-call or unanimous voice votes.
Melbourne City Council on March 10 approved a series of routine and substantive items including a resolution donating the city-owned Disabled American Veterans (DAV) building, multiple zoning and annexation ordinances, and a professional design task order for Holmes Park.
The council voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 44-10 to convey the DAV site at 2265 North Harbor City Boulevard to the local DAV chapter with deed provisions to preserve public drainage and a reverter clause if the DAV ceases its mission. City attorney Mr. Connolly told the council the site appraisal was “approximately $600,000” and staff recommended the reverter language to prevent immediate private redevelopment.
On the consent and ordinance docket, council approved second readings and roll-call votes for: the vacation of a 30-foot street right-of-way and a 15-foot alley at 2528 South Harbor City Boulevard (Ordinance 2026-05); a package to annex 0.28 acres at 948 East Ogallie Boulevard and amend its future land use and zoning classifications (Ordinances 2026-06, -07 and -08); and amendments to the city code on order of business and purchasing thresholds (Ordinance 2026-09).
Council also approved task order KHC2025-002 with Kimberly Horn & Associates, Inc., of Melbourne, for preliminary and final design of the Holmes Park Public Plaza (project 13026) in the amount of $299,048. City staff said the scope includes surveying, geotechnical work, underground stormwater chamber design and one public workshop during the 30% design phase.
Where provided, votes were taken by roll call or unanimous voice; individual tallies for roll-call items were recorded at the meeting and are captured in the council minutes. Several items were routine second readings and carried with no public opposition noted.
The council wrapped the consent agenda and moved on to discussion items, including the downtown streetscape and board matters.
