Cocoa council permits optical services in Uptown waterfront overlay
Summary
On second and final reading council amended the zoning code to allow optical services as a permitted use in the Uptown subdistrict of the Cocoa Waterfront Overlay where underlying zoning is core commercial.
The council approved a zoning-text amendment on July 28 to allow optical-service uses in the Uptown subdistrict of the Waterfront Overlay District where the underlying zoning is core commercial (CC).
City Attorney and planner presented the ordinance language to modify Appendix A, Article 11, Section 22 of the zoning code; staff reported no changes since the first reading and recommended final approval. Council voted unanimously to adopt the amendment on its second and final reading.
Why it matters: The change permits opticians and related optical retail/service businesses in the Uptown overlay, potentially supporting healthcare retail diversity and small-business development in the waterfront area.
