I. Adding New Section 34 to Article XIII,

City Council Meeting · 2026-04-28 · agenda_item

The City of Cocoa is considering an amendment to its land development code, specifically adding a new section to establish procedures for reasonable accommodation requests. This amendment would allow certified recovery residences to be a principal use in several residential and commercial zoning districts, including RU-2-15, RU-2-25, R-P, C-R, and C-N. The Community Services Director would be responsible for reviewing and acting on these requests. This item is currently under review by the City Council. If approved, the amendment would establish new regulations and procedures that could lead to future development or modification of properties to accommodate certified recovery residences. This process may involve site planning, permitting, and construction activities related to establishing such residences. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this review process, as potential opportunities may arise once the regulations are finalized and specific projects begin.
