Summary

The advisory board recommended approval of several rezoning requests — including an 18‑acre multifamily rezoning and a commercial rezoning for an RV/boat storage-to‑hardware‑store site — and approved the March 16 minutes; most items will go to the County Commission for final action on May 7.

At its April 30 meeting the Brevard County Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval of multiple rezoning requests and administrative items and approved the March 16 minutes as amended.

Item H‑1: The board recommended rezoning approximately 18 acres assembled by the Dershka family from RU‑210 and RU‑111 to RU‑215 for multifamily use. Attorney Kim Rozanca and Millstone Ventures owner Andy Weatherford presented the proposal; Weatherford said the company seeks to deliver multi‑family housing to match local job and population growth. Staff and the applicant said wetlands would be avoided, preliminary concurrency anticipated no school concurrency issues, and utilities would be worked out with Titusville. The board passed the recommendation with one oppose recorded.

Item H‑2: JEJ Ventures (John Platt) sought IU to BU‑2 for property on U.S. 1 to permit a future hardware store and short‑term RV/boat storage; Platt said the storage would generate interim income while he develops a hardware store in approximately three years. The motion to recommend approval passed unanimously.

Item H‑3: The board recommended approval of a small rezoning to correct split zoning on a 1.87‑acre parcel (AU and GU to EU) for the Marcik Family Trust to allow a workshop and make the lot conforming.

Each recommendation from the planning board is advisory; the County Commission will consider final action on May 7, 2026. The board also discussed administrative procedures around roll‑call votes and a prior tie vote and requested staff help enter vote names into the record for transparency.
