rs fl: 01 RESIDENTIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (RPUD) PURPOSE
AND INTENT
1 The RPUD is a concept which encourages and permits variation
in residential development by allowing deviation in lot
size , bulk or type of dwellings, density, lot coverage, and
open space from that required in any one residential land
use classification under the Zoning Regulations of Cape
Canaveral. The Purpose of a RPUD is to encourage the devel-
opment of planned residential neighborhoods and communities
that provide a full range of residence types designed to
serve the inhabitants of the RPUD. It is recognized that
only through ingenuity, imagination and flexibility can res-
idential developments be produced which are in keeping with
the intent of this Section, while departing from the strict
application of conventional use and dimension requirements
of other zoning districts of Cape Canaveral.
This Section is intended to establish procedures and stand-
ards for RPUDs within the city, in order that the following
objectives may be attained:
A. Accumulation of large areas of usable open spaces for
the preservation of natural amenities.
B. Flexibility in design to take the greatest advantage of
natural land, trees, historical and other features.
C. Creation of a variety of housing types and compatible
neighborhood arrangements that give the home buyer
greater choice in selecting types of environment and
living units.
D. Allowance of sufficient freedom for the developer to
take a creative approach to the use of land and related
physical development, as well as , utilizing innovative
techniques to enhance the visual character of Cape
Canaveral.
E . Efficient use of land which may result in smaller street
and utility networks and reduce development costs.
F. Simplification of the procedure for obtaining approval
of proposed developments through simultaneous review by
the City of proposed land use , site consideration, lot
ZONING REGULATIONS
CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA Page 54
and setback considerations , public needs and require-
ments, and health and safety factors .

Within the districts established by this Ordinance (or amerd-
ments which may later be adopted) , there exists lots ,
structures , placement of structures, uses of land and/or
structures and characteristics of use which were lawful
prior to enactment of this Ordinance (or amendment hereof) ,
but which would be prohibited, regulated, or restricted
under the terms of this Ordinance (or amendment hereof) . It
is the intent of this Ordinance to permit these non-conform-
ities to continue, but not to encourage their continuance.
Such non-conformities are hereby declared incompatible with
permitted lots , structures , placement of structures, uses
and characteristics of use in applicable districts . It is
further the intent of this Ordinance that non-conformities
shall not be used as grounds for adding other structures or
uses prohibited elsewhere in the same district.
A. Any building which is made non-conforming by virtue of
the amendments outlined in Ordinance No. 18-83 shall be
allowed to be replaced in the event of their destruction
to the same standards that they were prior to the
adoption of Ordinance No. 18-83 (September 6, 1983 ) .
This shall also include those projects which are yet to
be completed, but have applied for site plan approval
prior to adoption of Ordinance No. 1 8-83 and will obtain
a building permit before February 28, 1984 . In the
event a rebuilding is required, all efforts shall be
made , where practicable, to conform to the existing
zoning ordinance.
B. All non-conforming lots of record as of the date of
adoption of Ordinance No. 18-83 (September 6 , 1983)
shall be allowed to be used in constructing structures
that have been destroyed. The rebuilt structure will be
rebuilt as close as practicable to the original building
and shall make every effort to conform to the existing
zoning ordinance.
C These provisions shall not be construed to allow for the
extension or enlargement of a non-conforming lot or
ZONING REGULATIONS
CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA Page 110
building but are merely intended to allow the rebuilding
of structures after the result of a catastrophe in as
near a similar fashion as practicable.

adoption or amendment of this Ordinance that could not be
built under the terms of this Ordinance by reason of restric-

characteristics of the structure or its location on the lot,
such structure may be continued so long as it remains other-
wise lawfully subject to the following provisions:
A. Such structure may not be enlarged or altered in a way
which increases its non-conformity, but any structures
or portion thereof may be altered to decrease its non-
conformity.

extent of more than fifty ( 50) percent of its fair
market value at time of destruction, it shall not be
reconstructed except in conformity with the provisions

lot of record, exists at the effective date of adoption

repaired, enlarged, extended, rebuilt, reconstructed, or
structurally altered, provided that setback dimensions,
maximum lot coverage requirement, building setback lines
and other requirements of the additional structure con-
form to the regulations for the district in which such
lot is located. Any additional construction (to an
existing structure that encroaches on setback require-
ments) must conform to the setback requirements of the

on setback requirements may be repaired, rebuilt, recon-
structed, or structurally altered (but not enlarged or
extended) , provided the encroaching portion of the
structure is an integral part of the structure.
