BACKGROUND:
The City of Cocoa has been approached by Gem Holdings, LLC, owned by Ann Jeanette Miner, regarding a voluntary annexation into the City of Cocoa of a parcel of land identified by Brevard County parcel Identification Number 24-35-26-00-763.1 located at 4050 W King Street.
Brevard County Commissioners have been notified of the proposed annexation. The proposed annexation is consistent with the annexation policy directives adopted by the City of Cocoa City Council. This annexation will provide for a rational extension of the City boundaries along King Street.
Proposed Annexation Area:
The proposed annexation area is generally located at the northwest intersection of State Road 520 and Cox Road, and more specifically at 4050 West King Street (Exhibit “B”). The metes and bounds description for the proposed annexation area is described in Exhibit "A".
The proposed annexation is for 1 parcel consisting of ±.6 acres of real property. This annexation is therefore consistent with the requirements of a voluntary annexation of the Florida Statutes.
Current and Proposed Future Land Use and Zoning:
City of Cocoa future land use designation and zoning classification have not been determined and are not required at this time. However, a preliminary land use analysis has been performed and the property owner will be requesting an Industrial Future Land Use and M-1 Light Industrial Zoning.
Adequate Public Facilities
The analysis of facilities available to serve the annexation study area shows that the City of Cocoa has, and can provide, the necessary public facilities and services to serve the 4050 W King Street Annexation in the same manner as such services are provided within the rest of the City of Cocoa.
STRATEGIC PLAN CONNECTION:
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
The current tax value of the property is roughly $176,380 that equates to approximately $4,000 in ad valorem taxes and non-ad valorem assessments. If the property were to develop in the future to the highest and best use the City could realize additional revenue and employment for the local community.
PREVIOUS ACTION:
No previous actions have been taken.
