CHAPTER 501
STREETS
Sec. 501 . 01 Authority to Plan Streets. This Chapter
is adopted pursuant to the provisions of Florida Special
Acts, Chapter 63-1144 . The purpose of these sections is
to formulate and propose the reservation of locations for
proposed future streets in connection with the preparation
of the comprehensive plan or portions thereof. The Plan-
ning and Zoning Board of the City of Cape Canaveral,
Florida, is hereby designated as the planning commission
provided for in said Special Acts. [Ord. No. 24-72 , § 1,
2 Jan 1973]
Sec. 501. 02 Legal Status of Comprehensive Plan. When-
ever a comprehensive plan for the area, or a portion of
such plan corresponding generally with a functional sub-
division of the subject matter or a geographic subdivision
of the area has been adopted by the Planning and Zoning
Board and approved by the City Council, then and thence-
forth no street, park or other public way, ground, place
or space, and no public building or structure shall be
constructed, altered or authorized in the area until and
unless the location and extent thereof shall have been
submitted to the Planning and Zoning Board for a report
on its approval or disapproval, including the reasons
therefor. Within thirty (30) days after the request for
such report has been received by the Planning and Zoning
Board or within such other time limit as shall be agreed
upon either such report shall be made or failure of the
said Board to act shall be deemed approval. The Planning
and Zoning Board' s report may be overruled by a majority
vote of the entire membership of the City Council.
[Ord. No. 24-72 , § 2 , 2 Jan 1973]
Sec. 501. 03 Reservation of Location of Mapped Streets
for Future Public Acquisition. After adoption of that
portion of the comprehensive plan involving a major
street plan for an area, the City Council may direct the
Planning and Zoning Board to make or cause to be made sur-
veys for the exact location of the lines of a street or
streets in any portion of the area and to make a plat of
the territory thus surveyed, showing the land which it
recommends be reserved for future acquisition for public
streets.
The Planning and Zoning Board, before adopting any such
plat, shall first obtain the approval of the City Engineer
and the City Planner, then hold a public hearing thereon
with due public notice.
§ 501. 03 STREETS § 501 . 03 208
After such hearing the Planning and Zoning Board may
transmit the plat as originally made, or modified to
the City Council, together with the Planning and Zoning
Board' s estimate of the time or times within which the
lands shown on the plat as streets location should be
acquired by the City. Thereupon, the City Council may
approve and adopt or may reject any such plat, or may
modify it with the approval of the Planning and Zoning
Board, or in the event of the Planning and Zoning Board ' s
disapproval of the modification, the City Council , may,
by a favorable vote of not less than four-fifths (4/5)
of its entire membership, modify such plat and adopt the
modified plat. In the Chapter adopting such plat the City
Council shall fix the period of time for which the street
locations shown on the plat shall be deemed reserved for
future taking or acquisition for public use. Said period
of time not to exceed twenty (20) years. Upon such adop-
tion, the City Clerk shall transmit for recording in the
public records , one approved copy of the plat to the Clerk
of the Circuit Court of Brevard County and retain one copy
for the purpose of public examination.
Such approval and adoption of a plat shall not be deemed
the opening or establishment of any street, nor the taking
of any land for street purposes nor public use, nor as a
public improvement, but solely as a reservation of the
street locations shown thereon, for the period specified
in Chapter of the governing body for future taking or
acquisition for public use. The Planning and Zoning
Board or any other official or agency of the City may, at
the direction of the City Council, negotiate for or secure
from the owner or owners of any such lands releases of
claims for damages or compensation for such reservation
or agreements indemnifying the City for such claims by
others, which releases or agreements shall be binding upon
the owner or owners executing the same and their successors
in title.
At any time after the filing of a plat with the Clerk of
the Circuit Court or other recording official, and during
the period specified for the reservation, the Planning and
Zoning Board acting upon the instructions of the City
Council and the owner of land containing a reserved
street location may agree upon a modification of the
location of the lines of the proposed street, such agree-
ment to include a release by said owner of any claim for
compensation or damages by reason of such modifications;
and thereupon the Planning and Zoning Board may make a
plat corresponding to the said modification and transmit
09 § 501. 03 STREETS § 501. 05
the same to the City Council and if such modified plat be
approved by the City Council the City Clerk shall trans-
mit for recording an approved copy thereof to the Clerk
of the Circuit Court and said modified plat shall take
the place of the original plat.
After obtaining recommendations from the Zoning and Plan
ping Board and holding public hearings with due notice,
the City Council may abandon or amend any reservation
and shall certify such abandonment or amendment to the
County Clerk or other recording official. [Ord. No.
24-72, § 3, 2 Jan 1973]
Sec. 501. 04 Buildings in Reserved Street Locations .
After street locations have been reserved, as indicated
in § 501. 02 , no building permit shall thereafter be issued
for construction or alteration of any building in the bed
of any such street, nor shall any building be in the bed
of any street, nor shall any buildings be built therein;
provided, however, that if the land within such mapped
street is not yielding a fair return on its value to the
owner, the Planning and Zoning Board shall have power in
a specific case by the vote of a majority of its members
to recommend to the City Council that a special permit
be issued for a building in such street which will as
little as practicable increase the cost of opening such
street or tend to cause a change in the comprehensive
plan, and such board may recommend reasonable requirements
as a condition of granting such special permit. Before
taking any action authorized in this Section, the Plan-
ning and Zoning Board shall hold a public hearing and
with due public notice, at which parties in interest and
others shall have an opportunity to be heard, and there-
after the recommendations of the said Board shall be
submitted to the City Council for determination. [Ord.

Sec. 501.03. Reservation of Location of Mapped Streets for Future
Public Acquisition. After adoption of that portion of the comprehensive plan
involving a major street plan for an area, the City Council may direct the
Zoning and Planning Board to make or cause to be made surveys for the
exact location of the lines of a street or streets in any portion of the area

The Zoning and Planning Board, before adopting any such plat, shall
first obtain the approval of the City Engineer and the City Planner, then
hold a public hearing thereon with due public notice.
After such hearing the Zoning and Planning Board may transmit the
plat as originally made, or modified to the City Council, together with the
Zoning and Planning Board's estimate of the time or times within which the
lands shown on the plat as streets location should be acquired by the City.
Thereupon, the City Council may approve and adopt or may

Said period of time not to exceed twenty (20) years. Upon such adoption, the
City Clerk shall transmit for recording in the public records, one approved
copy of the plat to the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Brevard County and retain
one copy for the purpose of public examination. Such approval and adoption
of a plat shall not be deemed the opening or establishment of any street, nor
the taking of any land for street purposes nor public use, nor as a public
improvement, but solely as a reservation of the street locations shown
thereon, for the period specified in the ordinance of the governing body for

lands releases of claims for damages or compensation for such reservation
or agreements indemnifying the City for such claims by others, which
releases or agreements shall be binding upon the owner or owners executing
the same and their successors in title.
At any time after the filing of a plat with the Clerk of the Circuit
Court or other recording official, and during the period specified for the
reservation, the Zoning and Planning Board acting upon the instructions of
the City Council and the owner of land containing a reserved street
location may agree upon a modification of the location of the lines of the
proposed street, such agreement to include a release by said owner of any
claim for compensation or damages by reason of such modifications; and
thereupon the Zoning and Planning Board may make a plat corresponding to
the said modification and transmit the same to the City Council and if such
modified plat be approved by the City Council the City Clerk shall transmit
for recording an approved copy thereof to the Clerk of the Circuit Court
and said modified plat shall take the place of the original plat.
After obtaining recommendations from the Zoning and Planning
Board and holding public hearings with due notice, the City Council may,
by ordinance, abandon or amend any reservation and shall certify such
abandonment or amendment to the County Clerk or other recording official.
