Mr. Bapp advised that Mr. May was requesting a special exception to operate a freight
handling facility for transshipment to support operations at the Port at 245 Challenger

Objective LU3 -2 of the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant had paid all required fees.
The city staff and Planning & Zoning Board had recommended approval of the request.
Mr. May testified that he was requesting a special exception for an outside storage area
and new freight handling facility. The Board members reviewed city staff reports and
photographs of the property. Brief discussion followed.
Motion by Mr. McMillin, seconded by Ms. McKone to approve Special Exception
Request No. 98 -03 as follows:
Findings of Fact Randall May 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 (c)(1) & (2) 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 would not adversely affect the public interest.
