Findings of Fact Tech -Vest, Inc. was the owner of the real property described in
the Petition. The property was located in the M -1 zoning classification and was
subject to the Land Development Regulations pertaining to said district. The
granting of this special exception request would not adversely affect the public
interest. This special exception was consistent with the goals, objectives and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan; was consistent with the intent of the M -1
zoning district; this request would not create any adverse impacts to adjacent
property through the creation of noise, light, vibration, traffic, utility
requirements, or stormwater runoff that would not have been created had the
property been developed for a principal use permitted in the M -1 zoning district;
no unusual police, fire or emergency services would be required; all the
requirements of the zoning district were met with this special exception.
Conclusion of Law That the Board of Adjustment has lawful power and
authority to grant Special Exceptions under special conditions and circumstances
as set forth in Section 110 -354 of the Cape Canaveral Code of Ordinances. The
petitioner had met the minimum requirements for the requested special
exception and had demonstrated entitlement to the special exception which
