Board of Adjustment Meeting · 2026-07-15 · agenda_packet

The City of Cocoa Board of Adjustment considered a waiver request for a fence height increase at 800 N Fiske Blvd. The applicant, 321 Rocket Fence, representing owner 800 N Fiske Condo Association, Inc., sought to replace approximately 1025 feet of existing fence with an 8-foot tall stockade wood fence, an increase from the 6-foot maximum allowed in the RU-2-15 (Multi-Family) residential zone. The property is a 7.19-acre, 128-unit apartment complex. The waiver was requested to deter crime, as the existing fence was deteriorated and contributed to security issues. Staff recommended denial, stating the applicant did not meet the initial criteria of unique physical surroundings or hardship. However, staff noted that a 230-foot segment of 8-foot fencing was previously approved by variance in 1992. No public comments or objections were noted in the provided documents. The Board of Adjustment's decision is not explicitly stated in the provided text, but the staff recommendation was to deny the waiver.
