06:12The board discussed case number PZ 25-12, which sought a special exception to permit a self-storage facility. The facility is to be located in an area that previously housed an auto parts store, which has been vacant for several years. The project was presented as a beneficial use of the space, with members expressing satisfaction that the facility would provide a needed service while minimizing traffic congestion, as it is projected to attract a relatively low number of daily visits.

08:26During the meeting, it was noted that the facility would include climate-controlled units, which sets it apart from other storage options in the area. This feature was highlighted as particularly advantageous, given the facility’s proximity to downtown Cocoa Beach. The board unanimously approved the special exception, with a sentiment that revamping the vacant property would contribute positively to the community.
