I. Adding New Section 34 to Article XIII,

City Council Meeting · 2026-04-14 · 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 zoning districts, including RU-2-15, RU-2-25, R-P, C-R, and C-N. The Community Services Director will have the authority to grant, grant in part, or deny these requests, potentially with conditions. This item is currently under review by the City Council. While no construction is directly proposed, the amendment could lead to future development opportunities for recovery residences. Businesses involved in professional services, particularly legal and consulting, may find opportunities in navigating these new procedures. Early engagement with the city's planning department could provide insights into how this amendment might affect future land use and development.
