Summary

The commission approved a straight rezoning to change 1.01 acres at 924 North Seabreeze Road from B2 to R15, eliminating split zoning; staff and the planning board recommended the change to reflect the largely residential character of the area.

Commissioners voted to approve a straight rezoning for a portion of a 7.11‑acre parcel at 924 North Seabreeze Road, converting 1.01 acres from B2 regional business to R15 residential.

Staff explained that the parcel is predominantly surrounded by R15 zoning, the site lies mostly within an AE flood zone that carries additional regulatory limits, and the change would eliminate split zoning and make the parcel consistent with adjacent residential patterns. The planning board unanimously recommended approval.

The board approved the rezoning by voice vote; staff noted that any future development would still be subject to floodplain regulations and the county’s technical review processes.

What happens next: If the rezoning is recorded, development proposals will proceed through standard review, and any housing constructed on the site would be subject to AE flood-zone and development rules.
