Council approves rezoning at 317 Oleander Place to residential
Loading...
Summary
The council unanimously adopted Ordinance 8‑20‑26 to rezone a 0.18‑acre parcel at 317 Oleander Place from neighborhood commercial to neighborhood residential after staff found the lot’s size and access made commercial use impractical.
The Titusville City Council voted unanimously April 14 to rezone 317 Oleander Place (parcel ID 22‑35‑22‑03‑10‑5) from Indian River City neighborhood commercial to Indian River City neighborhood residential.
Brad Parish, staff planner, told the council the parcel is very small and would become a nonconforming lot if left commercial. "We found it consistent with the zoning criteria and with the comprehensive plan, and we recommend approval," Parish said. The council held a final public hearing and, after the applicant Dwayne White described plans to build an affordable single‑family home, Member Nelson moved to approve the ordinance.
Neighbors at the hearing urged consistent application of zoning rules across the neighborhood, asking the council to apply the same standards to similarly situated lots. Member Stoeckle questioned whether a variance might be required for setbacks; staff noted the building official can approve permits for some nonconforming single‑family lots or the applicant could seek a variance from the board of adjustment.
The council voted by roll call: Member Nelson, Mayor Connors, Vice Mayor Cole, Member Stoeckle and Member Muscoso all voted yes, adopting Ordinance 8‑20‑26 and rezoning the parcel to residential.
