Commissioners approve rezoning to allow metal mini‑storage building; neighbors urge caution
Summary
HBRS, LLC (Landon Shear) sought BU2 zoning to permit a metal mini‑storage building; neighbors argued Merritt Island already has many facilities and raised access and flooding concerns. The board approved the rezoning with BDP restrictions to limit uses.
Landon Shear requested a zoning change from BU1 to BU2 so his proposed mini‑storage building can be constructed as a metal structure; the transcript notes mini‑storage is permitted in both zones but metal construction is allowed in BU2. The applicant said the development footprint will protect wetlands and retain substantial buffering.
Several residents, including a homeowner association representative, opposed the rezoning or urged caution because of the density of storage facilities in Merritt Island and potential flooding and access issues. The applicant emphasized restrictions in the applicant handout and offered a BDP to limit uses to mini‑storage; the board approved the rezoning unanimously.
