05/21/2026 Approved Minutes
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval for a Zoning Text Amendment (TEXT2026-0003) and Finding of Consistency (FOC2026-0006) to extend the CB-OZ boundary to include 11 parcels totaling 4.25 acres. This extension aims to allow properties to utilize CB-OZ provisions such as reduced setbacks, elimination of additional parking for a change of use, an extra floor of height for mixed-use projects, and multi-family residential dwellings in C-2 zoning. The applicant, Kelly Delmonico of Land Development Strategies, stated the goal is to reduce redevelopment barriers and allow properties to be used similarly to those in the adjacent CB-OZ. A public comment from Heath Linkogle expressed concern about potential influx of parking and stormwater issues but supported the extension for accessory dwelling units. The Board recommended approval for both items.

1. The proposed modifications to City Code are consistent with the goals and
The City of Melbourne's Local Planning Agency is reviewing proposed changes to city code that would extend the CB-OZ zoning district north to Fee Avenue, between the FEC Railroad and Waverly Place. This review is planned for the May 21, 2026, meeting. If approved, these changes could allow for reduced building setbacks, fewer parking requirements for most changes of use, an additional floor of height for mixed-use projects, and accessory multi-family homes within mixed-use developments in the C-2 zoning district. This review stage means that planning and design work may soon be initiated. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas like site preparation, general construction, and specialized trades could find opportunities as projects move forward. Engaging early in this review process allows businesses to understand potential future needs before formal plans and permits are finalized.
