5. PZ 25-02000005 Reasonable Accommodation and Certified Recovery Residence

City Council Meeting · 2026-04-28 · agenda_item

The City of Cocoa is reviewing Ordinance 12-2025, which proposes a new policy for reasonable accommodations and certified recovery residences. This item is currently under review and has passed its first reading by the City Council. The ordinance aims to align city zoning with changes in Florida Statute regarding how these residences are handled. While specific details on fees and restrictions are still being finalized, the city is working to establish clear guidelines. This process could eventually lead to new development or modifications to existing properties to meet these accommodation standards. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this developing agenda item, as early awareness can provide an advantage in understanding future project needs and potential opportunities before formal plans and bids are established.
