Items from Ray Osborne
June 17, 2008
1) That the city gets the Planning and Zoning Committee and the City
Attorney to review exisiting Mixed Use
ordinances that could be adopted for our city.
Brevard County Government has Sec. 62-2106. Mixed use
commercial and residential use.
(a) A portion of a commercial building or site located in a general
retail commercial zoning classification (BU-1), a restricted
neighborhood retail commercial zoning classification (BU-1-A), or a
retail warehousing and wholesale business zoning classification (BU-
2), as applicable, may be used for residential purposes. The total
residential floor area of each residence shall adhere to the minimum
floor area requirements of the RU-2-10 zoning classification. The
density of the residential component shall be governed by the Future
Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan, as described in
Policy 2.13.
(b) The commercial portion of the property shall occupy at least a
portion of the first floor of the structure and must be designed and
permanently maintained for commercial use. Both commercial and
residential uses may occupy the same structures on the property, or
a detached single-family or multifamily dwelling may be constructed
as the residential component of a mixed use facility pursuant to the
criteria of this section.
2) Energy Policy for a city. Osborne suggests that the city talk about
this at some level.
Reviewing potential clean renewable energy resources for the city.
a) Windfarm. Atlantic City NJ has a Windfarm that pays for the
power for the city's water treatment center and the remainder is sold
back to their power company that results in a revenue stream for
their city. Many local pioneers of the area used wind mills for some
of their power needs.
b) Biofuels: Early Lighthouse keep Mills Burnham had sugar cane
that grew well virtually unattended for years. Sugar causes diabetes
nowday but we could look at it for processing ethanol.
c) Solar: There could be many opportunites in the city where Photo
Voltaic cells could be applied. There is already some installed at
Manatee Park.
I request that one of the city council members make a motion that
these items be made items for further consideration by the city.
