Commission voting to increase density on South Beaches!!
CURRENT ACTION: 
1) E-mail the message or similar to Gov't Officials listed below.
    2) Attend Feb. 6th Commission Meeting. Bodies send the Message! 

1) Copy and Paste from here down and send to gov't officials:
Dear Brevard County Commissioners,
Although this is the 1st time before the commission, the owner of 5610 A1A has been told 4 times in the last 5 years by County Staff that their Request To Increase Density from Res 1 to Res 2 is AGAINST THE LAW because of Policy 7.1 of the Brevard Comprehensive Plan!
The word "policy" makes people think it is just a guideline, which is not true. In fact;
1) Policy within a Comp Plan is not just LAW, but a stronger version called BINDING LAW and, 
2) Policy in the Comp Plan is considered "The Constitution of Land Use".
Policy 7.1 of the Coastal Management Element (CME) of the Brevard Comprehensive Plan states;
 “Brevard County shall not increase residential density designations for properties located on the barrier island between the southern boundary of Melbourne Beach and the Sebastian Inlet”.
Since 5610 A1A is directly in the MIDDLE of this area, it is clearly against the law to change the density designation to Res 2.
You MUST vote against Res 2 at the February 6th meeting.
Please do not set a precedent of breaking the law or others will surely want to do the same.
Thank You,

​Past Issue below is related and will be coming up in March 2025.

Re: In Favor of F.S. 380.0553 for public "Q & A" after the Dept. of Commerce sends their comments BUT before Commission Meetings in reference to  "Adoption" of the BBIA Amendment .

We residents of Brevard County’s South Beaches strongly support F.S. 380.0553, which designates the Brevard Barrier Island Area (BBIA) as an Area of Critical State Concern. We urge the County to provide additional opportunities for public and expert input to Brevard’s Comprehensive Plan, Appendix A, so that amendments better align with the legislative intent and guiding principles of F.S. 380.0553. The BBIA is defined as the area south of the Town of Melbourne Beach to the southern end of Sebastian Inlet State Park, and between the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean.

Past Actions on this issue are successful and ongoing: Condition: Monitoring
Illegal Short-Term Vacation Rentals (VR's) - Even though we were successful restricting legal VR's in 2019, hundreds of homes are being used as illegal VR's. To put a stop to this chaos, residents  MUST participate in eliminating them. You must  REPORT VR activities. Code Enforcement Officers will determine if it is illegal and get back with you. MOST of them ARE ILLEGAL, so don't feel bad reporting them. Otherwise the problem will become a pandemic and become a way of life in every Brevard neighborhood. To Report:
Call Beatrice at 321-633-2069 and speak to a Code Enforcement Officer (if u reach recording, leave a message)
