BOA May 20, 2026
The City of Cocoa Board of Adjustment considered a waiver request for A1 Home Center LLC at 1066 Clearlake Road. The request sought to increase the maximum permitted number of attached signs from one to eleven and to increase the maximum allowable area of attached signs from 20% to 25% of the surface area to which they are attached. The property is in the Neighborhood Commercial Zoning District. The waiver was requested due to the unique scale of the pre-existing building, formerly a Winn-Dixie supermarket, making strict application of sign regulations illogical and disproportionate. The applicant has invested in consistent branding with the 'Do It Best' cooperative. Staff recommended approval, finding the waiver would not increase congestion, fire danger, or substantially diminish property values, and would be in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan. Conditions of approval included that any further increase in sign quantity or size would require an additional waiver. The agenda item was postponed from the April 15, 2026 meeting to the May 20, 2026 meeting.

II. Waiver Analysis
This item concerns a waiver request for sign regulations related to a property located in the City of Cocoa, Brevard. The property currently has a pre-existing structure built in 1984, which was formerly a large-retail supermarket. The applicant is seeking a waiver because the interior scale of the building presents a unique constraint, making strict application of current sign rules illogical or disproportionate to the building's size and business needs. This matter is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. If approved, the project could involve interior renovations or modifications to accommodate new signage, potentially including work related to the building's structure and finishes. Contractors specializing in general construction, interior remodeling, electrical work for signage, and potentially painting or flooring could find opportunities. Engaging with the applicant or city staff early could provide insights into the project's scope and timeline before formal bidding processes begin.
