3. M-2 ZTA Large-Scale Commercial Recreation Centers and Gym and Fitness - 3095

City Council Meeting · 2026-08-11 · agenda_item

The City of Cocoa is considering a zoning text amendment to allow large-scale commercial recreation centers and fitness facilities over 12,000 square feet in the M-2 Manufacturing and Industrial district. This proposal, initiated by applicant Wendy H. Maier on behalf of the property owner, aims to formally recognize and establish development standards for indoor recreational uses like R/C vehicle racetracks, bowling alleys, skating rinks, and arcades. The property is located north of Grissom Parkway. This item is currently under review, having passed its first reading by the City Council. If approved, the amendment would allow for adaptive reuse of industrial buildings for these recreational purposes. This could lead to opportunities for site preparation, interior build-outs, and specialized trade work for businesses involved in construction, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and finishing. Early engagement with the city and property owner could provide insight into future development needs as plans are finalized.
