Kim Rozanca, representing the contract purchaser DiPrima Construction Corp., said the parcel on Wickham Road is currently vacant and that the companys concept plan shows 20 townhomes, with a possible build of up to 30 units consistent with RU2-6 density limits. \"We have provided a concept plan ... that shows 20 units,\" Rozanca said, adding the developers intent to sell homes at about $600,000 with two-car garages.
Rozanca told commissioners the townhome plan would avoid wetlands, include a 50-foot buffer to the west and produce materially fewer vehicle trips than a potential commercial center. She said staff analysis showed no concurrency issues and that the proposed residential use would be consistent with comprehensive-plan policies for the mixed-use area. A submitted traffic analysis estimated about 216 daily trips for the townhome scenario compared with a potential 7,127 net new daily trips from a large commercial center.
Commissioner Delaney moved approval conditioned on a binding development plan prohibiting short-term rentals; Commissioner Atkinson seconded. The roll call recorded Delaney, Goodson, Atkinson and Chairman Feltner voting yes, and the motion passed 4-0.
The rezoning requires final platting and site engineering; the applicant acknowledged the concept plan is preliminary and said detailed engineering will avoid wetlands and provide required buffering. Staff noted the parcel is adjacent to the Casa Bella plat and near multi-story apartments and that RU2-6 would cap density at 30 units per acre under the Future Land Use designation.
With the BDP condition, the board approved the rezoning and the applicant may proceed to platting and required site-plan reviews.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","07/17/2025 - Brevard County Zoning Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The commission voted 4-0 to rezone a 5-acre Casa Bella parcel from BU1A to RU2-6 to permit townhomes; the developer said the project would avoid wetlands, include buffering and likely produce fewer daily trips than a commercial use.","taxTitle","Brevard County, Florida","taxId",2873,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6164448,"Commission approves Lindy Inc. conditional-use permit to expand industrial gas plant",720,824000,1544000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5428619-e61640c3342d86230cd2623c55c75dc5&start=824&end=1544","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5428619-e61640c3342d86230cd2623c55c75dc5/thumbnail_824000.jpg","/articles/6164448/Brevard-County/Florida/Commission-approves-Lindy-Inc-conditional-use-permit-to-expand-industrial-gas-plant","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6164448-716356b7efeb1c3f84718845d931ac63/orig.mp4?Expires=1770508834&Signature=WwUbOcV6sctbtVAK4yhJhYyvg2d8LFtmYTg1hlgtTC8qh7VlmFLmYubMrI0-w8d2s3yrkxB9Z1RWMRfBKJmuH-ySoc0tgz6Ed76c0Boh-WKv8MLfJpXcWKAuSwOBhHfHxQdzHOnF8zvLHqmBVtMQTfbU1BK7U8-eWtREYD-hCcMXHQR1LHhZCHNfZIw6nu7LD3saCWWUtkojaF6nA5SreC2bQlLM9rtrEp4hNfzP0Y0zr2E7V~femQkUaAD8h6eU-sYdveiIMNqEK51euk4ne-jlKKn3SpnOMMVSIjAncQpa6UIiX9Ik7i7mRO4BxJgGvyei8t8oJRk6Qy0Am~pxMg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of County Commissioners voted 4-0 to grant Lindy Inc. a conditional use permit (CUP) to expand its industrial gas facility in North Mims, allowing chemical-production operations in an IU-1 heavy-industrial zone with conditions that Lindy meet county performance standards and all required state permits.
Kim Rozanca, attorney for Lindy Inc., told the board the request covers a 10.46-acre north parcel where Lindy will add equipment and operations to increase oxygen, nitrogen and argon production used in aerospace and other industries. \"This would be our third expansion in order for us to continue to support the markets that we supply,\" said Dave Ylgieski, identified in the presentation as Lindys director of capital improvements.
A traffic review submitted by Walsh Traffic Engineering concluded the expansion would marginally increase traffic at U.S. 1 and Wylie and that no intersection improvements were recommended. The consultant estimated current truck volumes at that intersection as roughly 24 to 48 trucks per day and projected an increase to about 90 trucks per day with the expansion. County staff reported no crash trend in the recent FDOT review of that intersection.
Several technical and permitting conditions were discussed: the facility must meet county performance standards, obtain applicable state permits (including ERP and other environmental approvals), and comply with state and federal safety regulations. Staff noted the CUP ordinance for this use contains no specific special criteria, leaving the board discretion to attach conditions.
During public comment, Sandra Sullivan, a resident, asked for clearer site diagrams and raised concern about reports online about an LNG facility; Rozanca responded that the expansion is for industrial gases and not liquefied natural gas. The board then approved the CUP; Commissioner Delaney moved, Commissioner Goodson seconded, and the roll call showed Delaney, Goodson, Atkinson and Chairman Feltner voting yes.
The approval allows Lindy to proceed with the planned expansion pending the required state permits, ERP approval, and compliance with county performance standards and any conditions the county's permitting process imposes.","The Board approved a conditional use permit for Lindy Inc. to expand its Mims industrial gas facility (IU-1), with staff noting permitting requirements and a traffic study projecting a modest truck increase.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6164452,"Brevard commissioners adopt Barrier Island plan amendment, send it to state review",962,2652000,3614000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5428619-e61640c3342d86230cd2623c55c75dc5&start=2652&end=3614","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5428619-e61640c3342d86230cd2623c55c75dc5/thumbnail_2652000.jpg","/articles/6164452/Brevard-County/Florida/Brevard-commissioners-adopt-Barrier-Island-plan-amendment-send-it-to-state-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6164452-2919582eb11367ed42a223ffa79b4906/orig.mp4?Expires=1770508834&Signature=O2eyu2STJC5x~5oT4fncEuK9A611IycGFRslTW1YfKx7xC4wjfcn9pXrR5Ky1hW6FWIwZBQtWl3ubBbO-3NNBsLBVbFVCh6a2qZAEGELuscuQahI433H--gG32FKYpE0ZyS1355~Vph30kWrT6WArsIXsaTEl~MrZ36CtblJ4QJDWBF~Wfl4YBGhDpnMWnDveAOy7fpk-AMcU~cgjEqy4w~2SraU7xFTvbfwdHh6swM-KBnvOi4DPvYZYHVaw3F5TEOL1BN8MOy3r174qgdU~kcmq~SrfUcKHw-j7M0wimXOIdSCQASh9EyXd1E6~viFq9uXLXhxG7WJ13YzYmG0MA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Brevard County Board of County Commissioners on a 4-0 vote adopted a new Brevard Barrier Island Area (BBIA) element to the county comprehensive plan and authorized staff to correct scriveners errors before transmitting the package to the Florida Department of Commerce for state review.
The BBIA amendment implements the Brevard Barrier Island Protection Act and establishes coastal protections, low-impact development guidance and living-shoreline priorities for the countys barrier-island communities.
County planning staff said the BBIA implements the guiding principles in state law and will next be reviewed by the Florida Department of Commerce. \"The Brevard Barrier Island Protection Act was a law that was passed by the legislature. It creates an area of critical state concern in the South Beaches,\" a staff member explained during the hearing.
Speakers at the meeting largely supported adoption but urged additional future work. Sandra Sullivan, a resident who testified, flagged two concerns: that the adopted language does not explicitly state an evacuation level-of-service standard, and that a reference to the future land use element should instead appear in a stand-alone property-rights element as recommended by state reviewers. Sierra Club Turtle Coast Group and the Marine Resources Council urged adoption while asking staff to return later with additional coastal-management refinements.
Commissioner Atkinson moved to adopt the BBIA amendment and to authorize corrections of scriveners errors before transmission; Commissioner Goodson seconded. The roll call showed Delaney, Goodson, Atkinson and Chairman Feltner voting yes. The board recorded the motion as passing 4-0.
Public commenters expressed concern about stormwater, evacuation capacity and future density on barrier islands and flood-prone inland areas; staff and the county attorney responded that some technical and implementation matters would return in follow-up rules and local land-development regulations. The board also discussed House/Senate Bill 180 and whether future attempts to reintroduce numeric density caps would be constrained by that legislation.
The board adopted the BBIA element as presented and directed staff to transmit the amendment package to the state with authority to make clerical corrections prior to filing. The amendment will be evaluated through the states coordinated review and comment process, after which the county will receive formal comments and move toward local adoption of implementing land-development regulations.","The County Commission voted 4-0 to adopt the Brevard Barrier Island Area (BBIA) element for the comprehensive plan and authorized minor scrivener corrections before transmitting it to Florida Commerce for state review.","actionData","errors"]
