Kay St. Onge stated that the Marine Research Council issued their Indian River Lagoon report

a picture of the Indian River Lagoon that was tainted green from algae blooms, and explained

that lead to the lagoon. She asked council to allow Dr. Leesa Souto, Executive Director of
the Marine Resource Council, to make a presentation at the July 27, 2021, 5:30 p.m., meeting

Riveredge Drive. Motion passed 6-0 with one-member abstaining.

conditions. First, that all required drainage and utility easements are provided for all existing
facilities in the area to be vacated together with easement to access these areas. Second, in
the event that compliance with the conditions set forth herein was not achieved within 180
days of the date of approval of this vacation, this resolution shall become null and void.
Planning Manager Brad Parrish advised that the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended that the City send out notices to more of the surrounding property owners and

zoning category that allows residential uses to require a conditional use where the proposed
brewpub was within 100 feet of a residential use, otherwise the brewpub use should be permitted

Tree Protection Workshop - City Manager Larese reviewed the purpose of the special City Council
meeting, as provided on the meeting agenda.
The goal of the workshop was to inform Council of the current status of the tree protection
ordinance, and to receive questions from Council to ensure they are provided with adequate
information to feel comfortable reviewing the ordinance during the public hearing process.
Requests for additional information expressed at the workshop would assist staff time in preparing
for the ordinance public hearing.
Community Development Director Peggy Busacca stated that staff started the tree protection
ordinance in May of 2019 with Council advisability and have had Titusville Environmental
Commission reviews, Planning and Zoning Commission reviews and workshops. Staff was
advised to focus on mandatory preservation, increased penalties for “untouchable” trees, concerns
about clear cutting, and quick wins.
City Attorney Broome read the Private Property Rights 70-001 also known as Bert Harris, which
provides relief to private property owners who are unfairly affected by government action. City
Attorney Broome then explained that the current City Code does provide property owners the
ability to seek variances from the Board of Adjustments and Appeals and administrative waivers
if they can not comply. There was also Chapter 34 Article 10 Beneficial Use Process, which was
a process available to property owners who believe that all beneficial use of their property has
been denied by application of our Land Development Regulations. In that case, City Council can
provide relief from regulations instead of the property owners going to court.

City Council Regular - August 10, 2021 - 6:30 PM
Member Robinson asked staff to include the intent for the different sections as well as the
different opinions from the Planning and Zoning Commission, Titusville Environmental
Commission, and staff.
Member Jordan expressed that Government should not be in the business to prevent smart
development, but instead should work with developers to preserve as many trees as possible
without making it mandatory. Member Jordan expressed he would like to stick to what council
originally asked for, which was mandatory preservation/increase penalties for “untouchable”
trees, and determine the definition of “untouchable” trees. Member Jordan clarified that he can
not support anything that gets in the way of smart development.
Council asked for clarification on the definition of clear cutting. Community Development
Director Peggy Busacca explained that it was an agricultural term and that in the current code,
clear cutting was prevented.
Member Jordan suggested giving the administrators more leeway to make decisions, instead of
making the developer go through the Board of Adjustments and Appeals, to make it cheaper and
easier on the developer.
Mayor Diesel expressed that staff and council need to all interpret and understand the ordinance
to prevent confusion now and in the future.
Member Stoeckel reviewed with Development Director Peggy Busacca the main issues that staff
needs council to give their intent on, including untouchable trees, heritage trees, canopy
percentage, mitigation requirements, incentives, and waivers and appeals.
Vice-Mayor Nelson stated that all of the ordinances in the packer were well written.

Public Comment –
Kay St. Onge spoke for the Titusville Tree Team. She read from a prepared statement that
reviewed her concern with clear cutting, removal of heritage trees, and who was hearing the
appeals. Ms. St. Onge asked for clarification on what type and size of tree was considered a
heritage tree. She asked council to preserve at least 25% of trees for the sake of the Indian River
Lagoon.
Nathan Slusher asked if it was necessary to create new laws because what if we required trees to
be added to a development and the trees were to die in the future. Mr. Slusher asked if there was
some kind of follow up Council could do after five to ten years. Mr. Slusher suggested council
could just ask the people to protect the trees, instead of making it a legal matter.
Dwight Severs, the chairmen of the Planning and Zoning Commission, expressed to council that
he was available for any questions or issues. Mr. Severs explained that the Planning and Zoning
Commission listened to the developers as well as the people who want to protect the trees and
came up with a compromise. Mr. Severs stated that staff’s version of the ordinance needed more
clarity and that the Planning and Zoning Commission tried to accomplish this through their
recommendations.
William Klein stated that eliminating tree canopies increased the temperature 10-15 degrees. Mr.
Klein expressed that the critically poor condition of the Indian River Lagoon was caused by
developments that cut down trees and filled in wetlands. Mr. Klein stated the algae bloom and
lack of seagrass caused the starvation of over 300 manatees in Brevard. He asked council to
protect existing trees, and require 40-60% of tree canopy in Titusville.
Kim Rezanka, from the Law Firm Lacey Lyons Rezanka, asked for the public purpose of the
ordinance. She stated that City Council should have the final say of the ordinance. She expressed
that going from a four-page ordinance to a twelve-page ordinance was over regulation. She asked
that staff add back section D related to the sketch plat because of the engineering cost required
for the sketch plat. Ms. Rezanka stated that a vocal minority asked for these changes and it is
unfair to many property owners.
Marlys Breckle reminded council that trees reduced stormwater runoff and recharged the aquifer.
She explained that tree canopy over parking lots or streets helped to reduce stormwater, and that
a mature oak tree can transpire 400 gallons of water in one day. Ms. Breckles stated that trees are
an investment to Titusville, not an expense.
Troy Post, the Executive Director for the North Brevard Economic Development Zone,
expressed the concern he was hearing about this ordinance and whether it was going to apply to
commercial and industrial properties. He expressed that developers already had so many laws
and regulations they had to follow that adding more can make lots undesirable and turn people
Page 3 of 6
Page 35 of 376
City Council Regular - August 10, 2021 - 6:30 PM
away from building in Titusville. Mr. Post stated that he supported the staff’s version of the
ordinance.
Matt Williams, a local Brevard County Developer, expressed that the ordinance as proposed
would prevent a lot of businesses from moving forward in Titusville because of the financial
burden.
Mary Sphar stated that she believed the ordinance needed to provide a balance between
economic and environmental concerns to prevent mitigation. She stated that staff tried to provide
a balanced ordinance that was simple, but in her opinion, it was too simple. Ms. Sphar suggest
increasing the canopy requirements and asked staff to update their ordinance.
Richard Kern, from Honeycutt Engineer, expressed his support for the Planning and Zoning
Commission’s ordinance, but supported the staff’s version of the canopy preservation
requirements. Mr. Kern suggested that Council should hear the appeals for the heritage trees
instead of the Board of Adjustment and Appeals.
Patricia Weeks, the 2021 President for the Space Coast Association of Realtors, stated that she
believed private property rights need to be protected, whether it be commercial or industrial land.
She expressed that oak tree roots can be very bad for foundations, roads, and sewer systems.
Bruce Moia represented the Space Coast Homebuilders and Contractors Association. He hoped
that Council would consider adding the sketch plat back to the ordinance because of the
investment people have already made by that point. Mr. Moia explained that he would support
staff’s version of the ordinance or go back to the previous ordinance.
xxx
City Manager Larese stated that staff needed guidance from Council for any adjustments they need
to make and if they are substantial, the first reading would not be ready by the Regular City Council
meeting on July 27, 2021.
Mayor Diesel stated that the ordinance needed to have an environmental and economic
compromise so that Titusville can grow while keeping trees in mind.
Member Jordan stated that he did not want to hurt the economic development with the tree
ordinance. He stated that staff was not ready to have the first reading yet and his opinion would be
to leave things how they were, and make sure the sketch plat was in the ordinance. Member Jordan
stated that he can not support the requirements on industrial or commercial developments. Member
Jordan asked Woody Rice for his opinions on the ordinance.
Page 4 of 6
Page 36 of 376
City Council Regular - August 10, 2021 - 6:30 PM
Woody Rice stated that he was one of the newest members of the Planning and Zoning
Commission. He stated that their July 7, 2021 meeting was supposed to be used to clean up the
ordinance, but instead they ended up changing things, which disappointed him. He stated that staff
needed to define the problem, which he believed was clear cutting Brookshire, a planned single-
family homes neighborhood, and residential sites. Mr. Rice stated that maybe council and staff
should make the intent to preserve canopy internal to a subdivision.
Member Stoeckel stated that she was in support of staff’s version, but was interested in the
commercial and industrial requirements and would need to see a map to decide if it was needed or
should be eliminated. Member Stoeckel stated that she would like to include Section 12D related
to the sketch plat and would like Council to hear waivers and appeals.
Mayor Diesel stated that Community Development Director Peggy Busacca did a great job and
asked what her time frame would be to finish this ordinance. Ms. Busacca stated that staff should
be able to complete the ordinance in two weeks and present it at the regular City Council Meeting
on August 10, 2021. She suggested tabling the first reading to August 10, 2021 and tabling the
public hearing to August 24, 2021.
Vice-Mayor Nelson stated that the staff’s version of the ordinance was the easiest to follow. She
agrees with adding the sketch plat and believes the wetlands only getting 50% credit was low.
Vice-Mayor Nelson also wanted Council to approve waivers and appeals and the administrators
could give out extra waivers. Vice-Mayor Nelson stated she would like to preserve the heritage
trees when able, with incentives.
Member Robinson stated that council needed to decide what Titusville’s goals were and come to
a compromise between economic and environmental issues going into the future. Member
Robinson stated that staff’s version was the easiest to follow and council needed to decide what
the intent was and to stick to it.
Mayor Diesel thanked the people who spoke and stated that it was important for the economic and
environmental side to come together and compromise in order for Titusville to be the best it could
be in the future.

Low Impact Development (LID) - Presentation by Dr. Leesa Souto, Executive Director, Marine
Resources Council - Dr. Leesa Souto, Executive Director of the Marine Resources Council
distributed information. She discussed the poor quality and habitat health of the Indian River
Lagoon and how these matters could be improved by the use of low impact development
practices or requirements. Dr. Souto also reviewed information provided under the education tab
of the Marine Resources Council website (website address: https://savetheirl.org/education/low-
impact-development/). Dr. Souto summarized that the lagoon’s health could be improved by the
use or implementation of LID practices, which would ultimately reduce the peak-flow of
stormwater. Dr. Souto explained that peak flow caused pollution, flooding, volume, etc.
To the above, Dr. Souto advised that using LID practices would require a paradigm shift or
cultural shift in thinking. The City as an institution could influence and incentivize the use of
LID in its Codes or policies to improve the lagoon’s health and more. Thinking on these matters
differently than in the past could influence new processes. Achieving these goals would mean a
re-charged aquifer, improved soil health, encouraged redevelopment, protected floodplains,
prevented saltwater intrusion, and which ultimately increased coastal resiliency and benefitted
everyone.
To begin, Dr. Souto recommended that cities set goals before writing policy language. One
example used as a goal was protecting wellfields, which would allow re-charging of the aquifer,
etc. Additionally, Dr. Souto reviewed other government agencies, like Pinellas and Escambia
Counties, and the City of Winter Haven that were addressing LID in their Codes. She advised
that an upcoming conference would be held on these matters in Rockledge.

Resource’s Council, stormwater runoff polluting the Indian River Lagoon, the desire to attract
others to live and work on the space coast, an unhealthy lagoon negatively impacted the
community and the environment, low impact development (LID) would allow for more
condensed housing in one area and reduced traditional development costs, etc.

meeting on July 21, 2021 and recommended approval, 5-2. The members that did not
vote in favor of the approval said the ordinance change did not resolve the problem.
The lot split process is the review and approval of the creation of two (2) lots from one (1)
existing lot to ensure that both new lots meet the requirements of the Code. Pursuant to
Florida Statutes, the creation of three (3) or more lots is a subdivision and the code contains
requirements for these situations. The staff is recommending removal of the current lot split
process because there is no mechanism to ensure that lots splits are reviewed by the City prior
to recording of the deeds with the Clerk's Office.
Generally staff becomes aware of a lot split when a development permit is requested for the
subject parcel and works with the owner to address any issues that arise. The existence of the
current code has, in some cases, hindered permitting for proposed development by requiring
Flag lot requirements are not being changed, although references to flag lots are being
amended as the code currently references flag lots in the lot split provisions.
Alternatives:
1. Adopt the ordinance as written.
2. Adopt the ordinance with changes.
3. Do not adopt the ordinance.

management system in compliance this requirement may be waived. It is the
applicant's responsibility to provide documentation validating the stormwater system
rights.
c. There is a reasonable buildable area that does not have any adverse impacts to
wetlands, threatened/endangered species or any environmental concerns.
d. Lots cannot be subdivided/split in such a way as to increase development density
or intensity in a special flood hazard area.
e. Access for each lot will be from a driveway connection only. There is no public street

feet from the street right-of-way.
e. The Administrator may approve the issuance of a building permit for a single-family
dwelling on a flag lot with a minimum frontage of twenty (20) feet, upon the

Sec. 34-126. - Intent.
The approval of a lot split, small-scale plat, and nonresidential minor division is intended to
be an administrative process for the division, or creation of lots in any zoning district not
requiring the creation of new streets or rights-of-way. These processes provide for the division
of a limited number of lots with minimal need for public facility improvements, and access
provided by existing public streets or private ways. Where a parcel is part of, and governed by,
a current approved site plan, a nonresidential minor division allows for the fee simple ownership
of portions of the site without the need to plat the newly created lots, while maintaining the
integrity of the approved site plan. This section is also designed to provide for infill in areas of
the City currently served by adequate public facilities and services through a streamlined
approval process. It is further intended to encourage the application and review of said divisions
for the standards and requirements contained within these [subdivision] regulations while
minimizing the costs of division review and the imposition of unnecessary requirements. For
purposes of this article a lot nonresidential minor division will be defined as the fee simple
division of portions of a parcel which is part of, and governed by, a current approved site plan.

Conditional Use Permit
CUP No. 4-2021 – Enterprise Car Rental
Meeting Dates: Planning and Zoning Commission: August 4, 2021
Community Redevelopment Agency August 10, 2021
City Council Public Hearing: August 10, 2021
Applicant’s Request: To allow a rental car agency use within the Midtown Sub-district of
the Downtown Mixed Use (DMU) zoning district.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow a rental car agency to be
located at a former new/used car sales site (Fischer Pontiac-Oldsmobile and others) located at
1026 S. Hopkins Avenue. The property is zoned Downtown Mixed Use (DMU), Midtown
Subdistrict with a future land use designation of Downtown Mixed Use. Enterprise Car Rental is
proposing to lease approximately 48,315.63 square feet or 1.10 acres + of the approximately 2.5
acre + property. The use will utilize the vacant front portion of the site with its existing car sales
office building to be used as the car rental office. The site plan shows areas for vehicle drop off,
parking spaces for employees and patrons, and a fenced area for vehicles when not rented. A
two (2) car canopy to hand wash cars is proposed to be located within the fenced area. The car
wash will not utilize any new connections to the City’s water and waste water systems. The
manual car washing will use a tank system for water supply and for waste water collection. An
existing ½ inch water service will be used to fill the water tank and all waste water collected in a
holding tank is proposed to be hauled away from the site.

PROPERTY INFORMATION
Existing Use, Future Land Use, and Zoning
STAFF ANALYSIS
The Applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a rental car agency to be located at a
vacant new/used car sales property at 1026 S. Hopkins Avenue. Section 28-107(a) of the Land
Development Regulations (LDRs) requires rental car agencies to obtain conditional use
approval in the Midtown Sub-district of the Downtown Mixed Use (DMU) zoning district. The
applicant is proposing to lease the front or east approximately 48,315.63 square feet or 1.10
acres + portion of the approximately 2.5 acre + property to operate the rental car business.
Based on discussions with the Applicant and the proposed plan, the proposed rental car agency
will utilize the existing building for an office and the existing site for vehicle drop off, employee
and customer parking, rental vehicle parking, and vehicle washing and cleaning. The former
use of the property as a new/used car sales site ideally suits the needs of a rental car agency.
Per Section 28-32, Pre-existing conditions/applicability (e) of the Downtown Mixed Use zoning
district a rental car agency use at the site has been determined to not be a change of use and
thus the property can be used as it currently exists. Any interior modifications will require
permits and inspections through the City’s Building Department. Staff supports approval of the
Conditional Use Permit for a car rental agency provided a formal site development permit is
submitted for review and approval.

[Future Land Use Element (FLUE)] Objective 1.10: The City of Titusville shall pursue the
renewal of Downtown Titusville as the center of professional, governmental, financial and
unique retail and redevelop blighted areas through the designation of downtown Titusville
as a unique Downtown Mixed Use (DMU) on the Future Land Use Map and pursue
appropriate strategies based upon the following general factors and performance
requirements [Policies 1.10.1 - 1.10.11].
Staff comment: The retail use is consistent with the Objective and subsequent Policies of
the Downtown Land Use category.
Downtown Mixed Use Smart Code, Section 28-44 Sub-Districts Described, item (e):
“Midtown: The southern gateway into the CRA, Midtown, appears as more suburban than the
other areas. Uses which can be dual classified between commercial and industrial are located
within this area (or sub-district). The Midtown area is structured such that many of the uses are to
be validated as part of sustainability, and guide their change through design elements.
Redevelopment and new criteria will attempt to create a tighter urban environment to enhance the
core.”
“Midtown—The Smart Code Perspective: General Urban Zone consists of mixed use. In this
district, it is a heavier commercial fabric, with larger lot uses and development, such as vehicle
sales, auto repair shops, some industrial uses, and scattered older residential uses within an
urban fabric. It contains a wide range of building types more suburban in nature than urban, even
though it is adjacent to the urban core. Setbacks and landscaping are variable. Streets with curbs
and sidewalks define medium-sized blocks.”
Staff comment: The present request would have access to an arterial roadway, US
Highway 1/Hopkins Avenue, and existing potable water and sewage collection/treatment
services are available to serve the use. Additionally, the request would further the goal of
prioritizing commercial infill and development at an existing location designated for uses of
a compatible commercial auto/vehicle related nature.
2) Ingress and egress to the property and proposed structure with particular reference to
automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, and access in
case of fire or catastrophe.
Staff comment: Based on information provided by the applicant, the existing parking
pavement will be striped to provide twenty four (24) parking spaces that can be utilized by
employees and customers of the site. The proposed car rental agency is estimated to
Page 3 of 5
generate the need for 20 parking spaces, which can adequately be accommodated at the
site.
There is one (1) vehicular access point into the property from Hopkins Avenue, and two (2)
vehicular access points exiting the property with one on St. Johns Street and one (1) on S.
Hopkins Avenue.
The Fire Department did not express any concerns or objections to the present request.
3) Nuisance factors detrimental to adjacent and nearby properties and the City as a whole.
Nuisance factors shall include but not necessarily be limited to noise, odor, smoke, glare,
electrical interference and/or mechanical vibrations.
Staff comment: The proposed use of a car rental agency is similar in intensity and hours of
operation as the other surrounding auto/vehicle related uses. It is not likely that a car rental
agency will cause nuisance issues related to odor, smoke, electrical interference and/or
mechanical vibrations.
4) Adopted level of service for solid waste disposal, potable water, or wastewater shall not be
exceeded.
Staff comment: No new construction or addition to the existing building is proposed. The
property is already served by City potable water and sanitary sewer. Solid waste services
are presently provided to the surrounding uses and were provided to the previous uses at
the site. Specific water and sewer demands will be reviewed through the building permit
process and any deficiencies must be addressed prior to occupancy of the building for the
proposed use. As noted above the car wash will not utilize any new connections to the
City’s water and waste water systems. The manual car washing will use a tank system for
water supply and for waste water collection. An existing ½ inch water service will be used
to fill the water tank and all waste water collected in a holding tank is proposed to be hauled
away from the site. The Water Resources Department has no objection provided there are
no additional utility services added and there is no additional utility service demand created.
Staff comment: The car rental agency is proposing to utilize the site as is, with no additions
or exterior modifications to the building. No landscape improvements are proposed. Nine
(9) oak trees and one (1) palm tree exist at the site and will remain.
6) Signs and proposed exterior lighting with reference to glare, traffic safety, economic effect and
compatibility and harmony with properties in the district.
Staff comment: Signage is permitted under a separate building permit. There are no
proposed changes to the exterior lighting.
Staff comment: Enterprise Rental proposes the following operating schedule: open Monday
through Friday, 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM; Saturday and Sunday, open 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The
proposed hours of operation should have minimal if any impacts to any adjacent properties.
The staff does not believe that it is necessary to propose a condition limiting hours of
operation.
Page 4 of 5
8) Off street parking and loading area where required with particular attention to ingress and
egress.
Staff comment: The proposed rental car agency will utilize the existing parking and the
ingress/egress points for vehicles. A total of twenty four (24) parking spaces are proposed
for employees and customers which is within the 125% maximum parking requirement.
Based on the number of parking spaces and ingress/egress points, staff is of the opinion
the existing facilities are sufficient to meet the demands of the proposed facility. Two (2)
parking spaces located adjacent to the fence separating the rental car storage area from
the public parking do not provide a three (3) foot overhang to have a sixteen (16) foot parking
stall depth. These spaces will need to be either eliminated or revised to meet code.
Staff comment: No changes are proposed to the existing building and site. Any
modifications to the building and/or site will require the appropriate building or site plan
approvals to be obtained.
10) General compatibility with adjacent properties and other property in the district AND
11) Whether the proposed change is out of scale with the needs of the neighborhood or the City.
Staff comment: The size and intensity of the proposed use is similar to the adjacent uses
and the use as a car rental agency is compatible with the existing surrounding auto/vehicle
uses. As no addition is proposed to the existing building, the scale as compared to the
neighborhood will not change.
12) Special requirements set out in the schedule of district regulations for the particular use
involved.
Staff comment: There are no special requirements listed under Section 28-107(a) Car
Rental Agencies.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above analysis, staff recommends approval of CUP No. 4-2021 to allow a car rental
agency at 1026 S Hopkins Avenue.

City of Titusville
Recommended Action:
The applicant has requested tabling this item to the regular City Council meeting on August 24,
2021 at 6:30 p.m.
The Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) considered this request at their July 7,
2021 regular meeting and tabled the item to their August 4, 2021 meeting. On August
4, 2021, the applicant requested tabling this item to the P&Z meeting on August 18,
2021. At the P&Z meeting on August 4, 2021, the members tabled this item to their
August 18, 2021 meeting as requested by the applicant.
In 2007, the City entered into a development agreement with the owner of the River Palms
condominium property with the following condition:
"The Developer is to close-off the direct access from the north bound US1 travel lane to Riverside
Drive and install a right turn lane located at the traffic signal at the Titusville High School entrance
per FDOT standards. This provision is subject to FDOT approval. If the FDOT does not grant
approval, provided that the Developer has submitted all FDOT application requirements, then the
Developer shall have no obligation under this provision and the balance of the Agreement shall
remain in full forced and effect. The Developer shall not be obligated to close the access and install
the turn lane until the time of construction of the project."
FDOT did not approve a new right turn lane and instead approved minor changes to the
intersection only.
1. That all required drainage and utility easements are provided for all existing facilities in the

Planning Division Staff Report
Background
The applicant requests the vacation of a public right-of-way (ROW) in front of property located at 1805,
1815, and 1825 Riverside Drive known as the River Palms Riverfront Condominiums development. The
right-of-way contains 8,939 square feet or 0.20 acres, more or less, and measures approximately
148.27-feet in length.
Analysis
Local jurisdictions have the ability to consider requests to vacate public rights-of-way when necessary.
On October 24, 2014, the City adopted Ordinance 49-2014 to include review criteria with every vacate
request. The ordinance was adopted in response to concerns about the long term ramifications of
losing pedestrian and vehicular connections between streets. Vacating rights-of-way should be
carefully evaluated. A vacated right-of-way cannot be reversed and its loss is immediate and forever.
The City should only approve vacations if they do not result in negative impacts on the current or future
needs of the City’s vehicular, bicycle, or pedestrian circulation systems, or access to private property. If
the negative impacts can be appropriately mitigated, the City may choose to vacate the street.
Section 17-33(b) of the Code of Ordinances lists the criteria under which the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the City Council review applications as they relate to right-of-way vacations.
The following provides review criteria and staff’s findings.
Consistency with the comprehensive plan.
The proposed vacation is consistent with the comprehensive plan and more specifically with the
following policy:
Transportation Element [TE] Policy 1.6.2: “The City may vacate street right-of-way only if it does not
prevent reasonable connection for existing and future public transit, pedestrian, and non-motorized
and motorized vehicle trips.”
The vacate request will not create a landlocked lot. The staff does not anticipate the use of the
subject right-of-way for future public transit. Sidewalks will be installed in the vacated right of way.

(1) Benefit of the public, future needs, and environmental impacts. This request proposes to vacate
three 20-foot wide rights-of-way owned by the City that does not serve any apparent public
purpose.
In 2007, the City entered into a development agreement with the owner of the River Palms
condominium property with a condition that the subject right of way be vacated.
Specifically, Exhibit B condition No. 6 states,
“The developer is to close off the direct access from the north bound US 1 travel lane to
Riverside Drive and install a right turn lane located at the traffic signal at the Titusville
High School entrance per FDOT standards. The provision is subject to FDOT approval.
If the FDOT does not grant approval, provided that the developer has submitted all
FDOT application requirement, then the developer shall have no obligation under this
provision and the balance of the agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The
development shall not be obligated to close the access and install the turn lane until the
time of construction of the project.”
The FDOT did not approve a new right turn lane and instead approved minor
changes to the intersection only.
(2) Access to publicly accessible waters. The rights-of-way do not provide access to a publicly
accessible body of water.
(3) Impacts to utilities, access, and adjacent properties. An application requires the submittal of a letter
from each utility agency with a potential interest in the right-of-way. The Applicant received letters
from the following agencies:
a. FLORIDA CITY GAS signed an easement document with the applicant dated March 31, 2021.
b. FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT signed an easement document with the applicant dated
December 15, 2020.
c. AT&T did not object to the vacate request [Letter dated December 12, 2020].
d. SPECTRUM – did not object to the vacate request [Letter dated November 23, 2020].
e. CITY OF TITUSVILLE WATER RESOURCES stated the following [comment dated April 28,
2021]: Approval will be conditioned on COT Council’s approval of the necessary easements
for the existing water and sewer mains in this area. The vacation would not be recorded until
we have accepted the easements. The easement documents that were submitted by the
applicant need to be re-executed.
f. CITY OF TITUSVILLE PUBLIC WORKS stated that there is an FDOT stormwater pipe located
within the vacated area. An easement to FDOT will be required for approval [comment dated
April 29, 2021].
(4) Adverse impacts to historic areas. This request will not negatively impact any historically
designated areas.
Staff Recommendation
Based on the above findings, the staff has no objection to the request to vacate a portion of riverside
Drive as illustrated with the following conditions:
1. That drainage and utility easements are provided over all existing water, sewer and drainage
facilities in the area to be vacated together with easement to access these areas.
2. In the event that compliance with the conditions set forth herein is not achieved within one-
hundred eighty (180) days of the date of approval of this vacation, this resolution shall become
null and void.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED by the City of Titusville, Florida as follows:
Section 1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are deemed true and correct and are hereby
adopted and incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 2: That Chapter 30 “Development Standards”, Article II “Environmental”,
Division 2 “Trees and Vegetation (Preservation and Mitigation)”, Section 30-31 “Intent” of the
Land Development Regulations of the City of Titusville is hereby amended to read as follows:
Sec. 30-31. -– Intent, definitions, and general standards.
(a) Intent. This article is intended to improve and protect the environment, character and value
of surrounding properties. The provision of landscaping and the retention of natural plant
growth reduces erosion, provides natural water retention and filtration, provides shade,
buffers incompatible uses, aids in urban temperature control, provides wildlife habitat, and
improves the aesthetic quality of a community, thereby promoting the public health, safety
and general welfare.
(b) General Standards. The general standards below provide requirements for key concepts of
this Division.
(d) Critical root zone (CRZ) is also called the "tree protection zone" is often defined as an
imaginary circle on the ground that corresponds with the "dripline" of the tree. However, the
dripline is very irregular and misleading, so the trunk diameter is referred to. To determine a
CRZ:
(1) Measure tree diameter four and one-half (4.5) feet above grade.
(2) Multiply this by twelve (12) inches.
(3) The calculation gives the diameter of the CRZ centered on the tree. For example,
a twenty-five-inch diameter tree would have a twenty-five-foot diameter CRZ.
(e) Limited development in the CRZ is allowed as follows.
(1) Impervious surfaces are allowed in the CRZ as long as no more than twenty-five percent
(25%) of the CRZ area is paved. Additional impervious surface may be approved by
the Development Review Committee when methods are utilized that would permit water
to adequately penetrate the root zone to allow the continued viability of the tree. Grade
changes within the CRZ shall not exceed a difference of three (3) inches between the
pre-development grade and the post-development grade.
(2) If new development or a grade change occurs in the CRZ, except as described in (1)
above, the tree shall be considered as being fully impacted and mitigation/replacement
as required by code shall be applied; no mitigation credit shall be allowed.
(3) The CRZ of a preserved tree may include existing impervious area(s) not adversely
affecting the viability of the tree.
(e) Development Area is the total site area less that area which will not be altered as
determined by the applicant. Land to be excluded from the Development Area may be
wetlands, drainage or utility easements, water bodies, or any other land which will not be
altered. Only land included within the Development Area may be utilized to meet required
canopy.
The following categories of development are not required to satisfy the canopy requirements,
but may voluntarily satisfy the canopy requirements to benefit from Section 30-34 (i), Incentives.
a. Residential lots less than one (1) acre in size that are not developed as part
of a subdivision. For those lots, the building permit plot plan shall identify
trees to be preserved.
b. Commercial development on parcels one and one-half (1.5) acres or less in
size that are legally established as of [date of ordinance].
c. Industrial development on parcels three (3) acres or less in size that are
legally established as of [date of ordinance].
d. All development in the Downtown Mixed-Use zoning district.
(b) An aerial photograph not more than one (1) year old may be utilized to determine the tree
canopy area.
(c) Undisturbed vegetated scrub habitat consisting of, but not limited to, chapman oak, scrub
oak and sand live oak, in excess of an average of thirty-six (36) inches in height shall be
considered as part of the tree canopy area.
(d) Category I invasive plant species as listed by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council shall not
be counted toward canopy requirements.
(e) All required tree canopy areas shall be permanently protected in a recorded plat condition,
or declaration of covenants recorded in the official records of Brevard County, Florida, or
with sufficient protective language, as noted on the approved site plan, which shall be noted
as a condition of approval, in property records maintained by the City of Titusville.
(f) Loss of canopy to a level below the required preserved canopy requirements shall require
replacement.
(g) Canopy Area Requirements
(1) Canopy areas may include portions of Low Impact Development (LID) stormwater
management features incorporating existing and/or planted trees and native vegetation.
(2) Canopy areas may include areas of planted trees in stormwater retention or detention
areas and other nutrient removal mechanisms.
(3) Canopy areas may be located in code required buffers, wetlands and wetland buffers,
and any preservation areas or buffers required by zoning, conditional use permit, master
plan, planned development or development agreement approval.
(4) Up to fifty (50) percent of canopy areas containing preserved trees may be forested
wetlands provided the wetlands are free of invasive species.
(5) Canopy areas may contain passive recreation areas, boardwalks, trails, decks and
paths as long as these areas are pervious and will not cause damage to the CRZ as
required in Section 30-31, Intent, definitions and general standards.
(5) Tree removal activities authorized and preempted by state or federal law or regulation,
which include, but are not limited to:
1. Removal of trees on trees on residential property which pose danger to persons or
property in accordance with Section 163.045, F.S., for which no permit or replacement
tree will be required.
2. Removal of trees by an electric utility to clear trees away from power lines in order to
ensure the safe transmission of electricity to customers, as provided by Florida Statutes
and Electric Tariff Rules, including the preemption under Section 163.3209.
(b) Sufficient evidence in the form a written statement must be provided to the Administrator to
substantiate the need for any tree removal.
(c) Critical root zone (CRZ) is also called the "tree protection zone" is often defined as an
imaginary circle on the ground that corresponds with the "dripline" of the tree. However, the
dripline is very irregular and misleading, so the trunk diameter is referred to. To determine a
CRZ:
(1) Measure tree diameter four and one-half (4.5) feet above grade.
(2) Multiply this by twelve (12) inches.
(3) The calculation gives the diameter of the CRZ centered on the tree. For example, a
twenty-five-inch diameter tree would have a twenty-five-foot diameter CRZ.
(d) Trees, which are dead, diseased or weakened by age, storms, fire or other injuries, which
pose a threat to the welfare of the general public. The permit fee will be waived in these
cases.
(ec) If after consideration of the above criteria, tree removal cannot be avoided, the
Administrator is authorized to grant reduction to the setback regulations applicable, for all
non-single-family residential uses, up to twenty-five (25) percent of the required setback in
order to avoid the removal of the protected tree. However, no setback shall be reduced to
less than the required fire separation for the proposed structures of the proposed.
(d) Shredding, chipping and/or off-site wood logging is desired method for removing vegetation
from the site. On-site burning of removed vegetation is prohibited.
(e) Heritage trees may be removed if approved by the Development Review Committee,
utilizing the criteria in (a) above and the following criteria:
(1) Whether the project can be reasonably reconfigured to preserve the heritage tree(s);
(2) Whether a reduction of required setbacks, buffers, road width or other code requirement
by the Development Review Committee, would be sufficient to preserve the heritage
tree(s);
(3) Whether alternative construction methods, including the use of low-impact (LID)
techniques such as pervious pavement, grade beams, retaining walls, and/or tree wells,
can be utilized to preserve the tree;
(4) Other site specific conditions as may be presented by the applicant.
(5) Any appeal to the decision of the Development Review Committee shall be heard by the
City Council. Any applicant that is aggrieved by the decision of the Development
Review Committee may file a written appeal within thirty (30) days after the decision in
dispute, accompanied by the appropriate fee. Appeals shall be filed with the City and
shall state fully the grounds for the appeal and all facts relied upon by the petitioner.
The City Manager shall schedule the appeal for the consideration of the City Council
within sixty (60) days of receipt of the appeal.
(f) Appeals/Variances. All applications for appeals or variances that are not otherwise
addressed in this Article, shall be considered by the Board of Adjustments and Appeals. If
an individual has exhausted all available administrative remedies and is of the opinion that
the application of these regulations denies all reasonable use of the property, an additional
procedure for relief is afforded in Chapter 34 Procedures, Article X Beneficial Use.
replacement based on tree caliper (i.e. if a twenty-two-inch dbh tree is being removed a
total of forty-four (44) inches dbh shall to be replanted on the site). as provided below.
(1) Significant tree – fifty percent (50%) mitigation replacement based on trunk dbh
(2) Specimen tree – fifty percent (50%) mitigation replacement based on trunk dbh
(3) Heritage tree – two-hundred percent (200%) mitigation replacement based on trunk dbh,
(b) All replacement mitigation trees shall be depicted on the mitigation plan with identification of
the type of tree. The replacement/mitigation tree plantings shall be in addition to any
landscape planting required by the City Code.
(c) Mitigation plantings are permitted within preserved and planted canopy areas if there is
sufficient room to ensure viability of canopy and mitigation plantings. Caliper inches
planted above the minimum size for canopy areas and required landscape areas may be
credited toward mitigation planting requirements.
(d) The mitigation plan shall include a list (including species and size) of all protected trees
proposed for removal and a list of all protected trees to be preserved.
(e) Alternatively, the applicant may in lieu of replanting, as set forth in Section 30-35 (a)
preserve native vegetation on the site consisting of at least one hundred (100) square feet
per tree caliper inch lost mitigation inch required. The preservation of native vegetation shall
be in addition to any preservation areas or landscaping required by the Titusville LDRs, with
the exception of preserved wetlands and natural buffer areas which may be counted as part
of preserved area credited toward mitigation. This mitigation credit shall not be given for
preserved or planted tree canopy areas. Native vegetation preservation credit may be
allowed in preserved wetlands, however a maximum of fifty percent (50%) of the total
required mitigation inches, may be provided from native vegetation preservation in wetland
areas. The mitigation plan shall include designation of proposed areas to be preserved and
specifications of the kind of existing vegetation in such areas.
(f) As a last resort for sites which cannot accommodate the plantings required by the Mitigation
Plan this section (as determined by the Administrator), the applicant shall contribute to the
City's Public Landscaping Trust Fund an amount equal to one hundred seventy-five dollars
($75.00 100.00) per net caliper-inch lost mitigation dbh inch. This provision can be reduced
to seventy-five dollars ($75.00) per a net caliper-inch lost when the trees are logged, in lieu
of burning.
(b) When mitigation trees are removed to address requirements established by floodplain
compensatory storage regulations (Section 30-103(f)(3)), the mitigation criteria for that
portion of the development shall be enforced as shown below:
(1) The replacement ratio shall be one-to-one replacement based on tree caliper.
(2) The contribution to the City's Public Landscape Trust Fund shall be an amount equal to
one hundred dollars ($100.00)seventy-five ($75.00) per net caliper-inch lost.
(gc) The provision of payment into the City's Public Landscaping Trust Fund shall not be eligible
for a variance before the Board of Adjustment and Appeals.
(hd) Appeals. Appeals of the Administrator's determination as to the practicality of installing
required mitigation trees shall be processed as described in Section 34-248(b). If the
appeal is granted by the Board of Adjustment and Appeals, the applicant shall make the
required payment as stipulated by Section 30-35 (f) into the City's Public Landscaping Trust
Fund.
(i) Incentives to preserve canopy and reduce mitigation are shown below.
(1) Incentive 1. Developments satisfying all requirements for minimum preserved canopy
and total canopy are exempt from further mitigation for significant trees that are
removed. On developments where this is achieved, a tree survey of significant trees is
not required outside of the total canopy area.
(2) Incentive 2. If site plan or subdivision plan provides for a total canopy area increase of
5% of the site in accordance with the table below, then no further tree mitigation or
payment in lieu of mitigation is required, with the exception of Heritage Trees which still
require mitigation
Total Canopy
Residential 30% or greater
Commercial 20% or greater
Industrial 20% or greater
(b) Diameter breast height (DBHdbh) is the measurement of the tree's diameter made by tree
professionals, taken at breast or chest height. This diameter is measured over the outside
bark using a diameter tape at the point "breast height." Breast height is specifically defined
as a point around the trunk at four and one-half (4.5) feet (1.37 meters in metric using
countries) above the forest floor on the uphill side of the tree. For the purposes of
determining breast height, the forest floor includes the duff layer that may be present, but
does not include unincorporated woody debris that may rise above the ground line.
(c) A tree removal permit shall not be required from an owner of an existing single-family
residential dwelling. For the purposes of tree removal, a single-family residence shall be
considered existing one (1) year after issuance of the certificate of occupancy.
(d) Common areas and tracts within a single-family developments shall not be exempt from
permit requirement for removal of trees.
larger, and show their species, quantity, and dbh. The City reserves the right to
request additional sample areas based on site conditions.
(a) The location of trees six (6) inches or more in trunk diameter;
(b) Designation of trees proposed to be removed, retained or replaced due to
buildings, roads, sidewalks, manmade structures or improvements;
(c) Designation of such trees considered diseased or hazardous to buildings,
pavement, utilities or other proposed improvements; and
(d) Designation of trees which may be adversely affected by proposed grade changes.
(e) For subdivisions, and individual lots greater than five (5) acres, the developer shall
provide the following:
(1) An aerial photograph of the subject property which indicates where the streets and
utilities are planned and which trees are proposed to be removed.
(2) Written evaluation of the number of trees to be removed and any reasons for the
proposed layout. All trees twelve (12) inches dbh and greater, proposed to be removed
shall be flagged or painted in the field.
(3) The location of all mitigation size trees as located by a registered land surveyor,
landscape architect or certified nursery professional.
(4) The location of trees six (6) inches or greater in buffer areas or twenty (20) feet from
property lines.
(5) An explanation of how trees are to be protected during site clearing activities.
(6) Whenever possible, shredding, chipping and/or off-site wood logging is desirable
alternative to burning. In electing this option, a twenty-five (25) percent credit will be
given towards required tree mitigation and/or contribution to the City's Public
Landscaping Trust Fund.
(7) The developer agrees to work with staff and adjust the proposed layout to preserve
more trees and specifically to preserve mitigation size trees.
Section 10: That Chapter 30 “Development Standards”, Article III “Improvements”, Division
10 “Landscaping”, Subdivision 2, Section 30-324 “Landscape” of the Land Development
Regulations of the City of Titusville is hereby amended to read as follows:
Sec. 30-324. - Landscape.
(a) Residential development:
(1) All single-family residential lots or developments, or lots greater than one (1) acre shall
meet the canopy requirements of Section 30.31.5, Canopy requirements.preserve an
area of approved low and moderate tolerant water usage mixed vegetation (native
trees and shrubs are preferred) equal to at least ten (10) percent of the total lot or
development area. In the event there is no approved low and moderate tolerant water
usage mixed vegetation on a lot or development, the applicant shall be required to
establish an area of approved low and moderate tolerant water usage mixed vegetation
equal to ten (10) percent of the lot or development. Required landscaping may be
credited as established in the Landscape Credits Table, 30-7 of this section.
(2) At a minimum, fifty (50) percent of newly installed vegetation must be shrubs.
(3) The front yard tree requirement may be waived by the Administrator if the residential
lot(s) preserves trees and underlying vegetation in the front yard setback area.
(b) Commercial development:
(1) Commercial developments shall meet the canopy requirements of Section 30.31.5,
Canopy requirements. Ten (10) percent of the required landscape area for a
commercial development shall utilize low and moderate tolerant water usage mixed
vegetation (native trees and shrubs are preferred). The City can supply the applicant
with a list of approved mixed low and moderate tolerant water usage vegetation upon
request (see Landscape Technical Manual). Required landscaping may be credited as
established in the Landscape Credits Table, 30-7 of this section.
(c) Industrial development:
(1) Industrial development shall meet the canopy requirements of Section 30.01.5, Canopy
requirements. Ten (10) percent of the required landscape area for an industrial
development shall utilize low and moderate tolerant water usage mixed vegetation
(native trees and shrubs are preferred). The City can supply the applicant with a list of
approved mixed low and moderate tolerant water usage vegetation upon request (see
Landscape Technical Manual). Required landscaping may be credited as established
in the Landscape Credits Table, 30-7 of this section.
(2) Industrial development may consolidate all required landscaping between the public
right-of-way and the building. For example, the required planting materials in a building
perimeter landscape strip for the entire perimeter of the proposed structure may be
consolidated along the front edge of the building. As the minimum plant materials will
be consolidated along the front of the building, the remainder of the perimeter will not
require a building perimeter landscape strip. This consolidation can be applied to
required building perimeter landscape strips, and required landscape yards except as
noted below. This regulation shall not be construed to not require landscaping between
the building and any public right-of-way.
(3) Required landscape yards may only be consolidated between the building and public
right-of-way for property lines that abut other industrial development or zoning districts.
Industrial development that abuts non-industrial development or zoning districts shall
provide the required buffer along those property lines abutting non-industrial
development or zoning districts.
(4) Industrial development which is adjacent to two (2) public rights-of-way (ex: a corner
lot) may consolidate the required landscaping between the building and the two (2)

(2) Canopy, Existing – means the area consisting of a tree’s branches in all directions from
its trunk at the time of a tree survey/location plan, the out edge of which is also referred
to as the existing dripline.
(3) Canopy, Mature – means the mature area consisting of a tree’s branches in all
directions from its trunk as defined in Appendix A, the outer edge of which is also
referred to as the mature dripline.
(4) Dripline, Planted – means the area consisting of a tree’s branches in all directions from
its trunk at seventy-five (75) percent of the mature canopy as defined in Appendix A for
each species planted, the outer edge of which is referred to as the planted dripline.
(6) Canopy, Total – means the total of preserved canopy and the planted canopy at
seventy-five (75) percent maturity, as defined in Appendix A.
(7) Native vegetation – means those plant species indigenous of Florida as determined by
the best available scientific and historic documentation and suitable for planting in
Brevard County. The Atlas of Florida Vascular Plants maintained by the Institute for
Systemic Botany, University of South Florida and/or the latest edition of Appendix A of
the Brevard County land development regulations shall be used as references.
(8) Replacement Tree – A tree that is planted to take the place of a tree that has been
removed. Replacement tree shall meet the minimum requirements of the landscape
planting specifications in Table 30-5. Replacement trees shall have a healthy root
system and a minimum grade of Florida #1.
(10) Tree Protection Area – an area identified on the site plan and/or plat that is specifically
set aside for the purpose of preserving and planting trees.
(11) Tree Survey/Location Plan – a tree location plan or survey showing the size,,
species, dbh and location of existing trees. Only a registered surveyor may locate trees
with a measured location as shown on a signed and sealed survey. Any other tree
location plan must be duly noted as a location plan (not a survey) with the credentials of
the Tree Professional that conducted the location plan. The information on the location
plan must include: name of the person(s), company, address, phone number and email
address of the professional that conducted the location plan..
(c) General standards. The general standards below provide mandatory requirements for key
concepts of this Division.
(d) Protected trees are designated as follows:
Tree Designation Species Size – Diameter at Breast
Height
(e) Critical root zone (CRZ) is calculated as follows for the CRZ of specimen and heritage trees.
(1) Measure tree diameter four and one-half (4.5) feet above grade (dbh).
(2) Multiply this by twelve (12) inches.
(3) The calculation gives the radius of the CRZ centered on the tree. For example, a twenty-
five-inch diameter tree would have a twenty-five-foot radius CRZ.
(4) The Administrator reserves the right to determine a different CRZ for individual trees
based upon site specific conditions to ensure viability of the tree within site specific
development constraints.
(f) Internal critical root zone (ICRZ) means the inner circle that is half of the CRZ area. If this
area is impacted, it would cause significant impact to the tree and would be potentially life
threatening. [ Source: Urban Forestry Services, Inc.]
(g) For significant trees, the root protection zone shall be determined by the drip line of the
tree.
(h) For palm trees, the root protection zone area shall be 25 square feet and have a radius no
less than two feet.
(i) Except for tracts designated for tree preservation, limited development in the CRZ is allowed
as follows.
(1) No impervious surfaces or grade changes are allowed in the ICRZ.
(2) Impervious surfaces are allowed inside of the CRZ and outside of the ICRZ as long as
no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the CRZ is paved. Grade changes within the
paved area shall not exceed a difference of three (3) inches between the pre-
development grade and the post-development grade. No impervious surfaces shall be
permitted within the existing dripline.
(3) If any development or a grade change occurs in the CRZ with the exception of the
twenty-five percent (25%) threshold, then the tree shall be considered as being fully
impacted and mitigation/replacement as required by code shall be applied; no mitigation
credit shall be allowed. However, in the event that Developer is able to provide
additional tree survival mitigation measures to the city, then the tree may be considered
as preserved.
(4) The CRZ of a preserved tree may include existing impervious area(s) not adversely
affecting the viability of the tree.
(3) The following categories of site plans are not required to satisfy the canopy
requirements, but may voluntarily satisfy the canopy requirements to benefit from
Section 30-34 (i), Incentives.
a. Single-family residential lots less than one (1) acre in size that are not
developed as part of a subdivision. For those lots, the single-family
residential building permit plan shall identify the Tree Protection Area.
b. Commercial development on parcels one and one-half (1.5) acres or less in
size that are legally established as of [date of ordinance].
c. Industrial development on parcels three (3) acres or less in size that are
legally established as of [date of ordinance].
d. All development in the Downtown Mixed-Use zoning district.
(b) An aerial photograph not more than one (1) year old may be utilized to determine the tree
canopy area.
(c) Undisturbed vegetated scrub habitat consisting of, but not limited to, chapman oak, scrub
oak and sand live oak, in excess of an average of thirty-six (36) inches in height shall be
considered as part of the tree canopy area.
(d) Category I invasive plant species as listed by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council shall not
be counted toward canopy requirements.
(e) A minimum of sixty (60) percent of the tree protection area acreage is required to be
located in the interior of the property. The Development Review Committee (DRC) may
approve a waiver to reduce this requirement to forty (40) percent. The Board of
Adjustments and Appeals is authorized to grant variances to canopy placement
percentages pursuant to established variance procedure criteria.
(2) Loss of canopy within tree protection areas to a level below the required preserved
canopy requirements shall require replacement. Tree loss due to acts of God are exempt
from this requirement.
(3) The applicant may install planted canopy within a tree protection area. Planted canopy
must not be placed within the CRZ of preserved canopy.
(4) Within tree protection areas containing preserved canopy, the existing soil shall be
preserved to the greatest extent possible and must follow the CRZ and ICRZ requirements
in Section 30-31 (c)(2). The native understory associated with the existing trees shall be
preserved to the greatest extent possible.
(1) Subdivisions shall show all proposed tree protection areas in tree tracts or easements
on a plat recorded in the Official Records of Brevard County, Florida.
(2) Subdivisions with single trees or small clusters of preserved canopy that cannot be
placed in a tree protection area tract or easement because of design impacts shall be noted
on the site plan meeting the requirements of Section 30-31.5, Canopy requirements, and be
protected in the language of the homeowner’s declaration documents.
(3) Non-subdivision site plans shall contain language and graphical representation of all
preserved canopy areas. Shall be permanently protected with sufficient protective
language, as noted on the approved site plan, which shall be noted as a condition of
approval, in property records maintained by the City of Titusville.
(1) Trees located in a portion of a lot or parcel in which a building, driveway, sidewalk,
retention area or accessory structure will be constructed where redesign to avoid tree
removal is not feasible possible. The developer shall employ alternative construction
techniques, including the use low-impact development (LID) techniques, such as
pervious pavement, grade beams, retaining walls, and/or tree wells, to save specimen
and heritage trees where preservation is possible.
(2b) Trees located with their critical root zone/dripline area (depending on tree size and
species) in such close proximity to buildings, driveways, sidewalks, or accessory
structures that they prevent the property development of the lot or parcel.
(3) Trees that are determined to be a danger to an existing structure or for which the
thresholds for limited development within the critical root zone (as defined in Section
30-31) are exceeded.
(4) Trees, which are dead, diseased or weakened by age, storms, fire or other injuries,
which pose a threat to the welfare of the general public as determined by an arborist,
landscape architect or certified nursery professional. The permit fee will be waived in
these cases.
(5) Tree removal activities authorized and preempted by state or federal law, which
include, but are not limited to:
1. Removal of trees on trees on residential property which pose danger to persons or
property in accordance with Section 163.045, F.S., for which no replacement tree will be
required.
2. Removal of trees by an electric utility to clear trees away from power lines in order to
ensure the safe transmission of electricity to customers, as provided by Florida Statutes
and Electric Tariff Rules, including the preemption under Section 163.3209.
(b) Sufficient evidence in the form a written statement must be provided to the Administrator to
substantiate justify the need for any tree removal.
(c) Critical root zone (CRZ) is also called the "tree protection zone" is often defined as an
imaginary circle on the ground that corresponds with the "dripline" of the tree. However, the
dripline is very irregular and misleading, so the trunk diameter is referred to. To determine a
CRZ:
(1) Measure tree diameter four and one-half (4.5) feet above grade.
(2) Multiply this by twelve (12) inches.
(3) The calculation gives the diameter of the CRZ centered on the tree. For example, a
twenty-five-inch diameter tree would have a twenty-five-foot diameter CRZ.
(d) Trees, which are dead, diseased or weakened by age, storms, fire or other injuries, which
pose a threat to the welfare of the general public. The permit fee will be waived in these
cases.
(ec) If after consideration of the above criteria, tree removal cannot be avoided, the
Administrator is authorized to grant reduction to the setback regulations applicable, for all
non-single-family residential uses, up to twenty-five (25) percent of the required setback in
order to avoid the removal of the protected tree. However, no setback shall be reduced to
less than the required fire separation for the proposed structures of the proposed.
(d) Shredding, chipping and/or off-site wood logging is desirable. On-site burning of removed
vegetation is prohibited.
(e) Heritage trees may only be removed if approved by the Board of Adjustment and
Appeals, utilizing the following in their consideration of the request to remove such trees:
(1) The impact of the proposed development on the impacted tree(s), as shown by a survey
or scale drawing of the subject property accurately depicting the location of the tree,
including the critical root zone.
(2) Whether the project can be reasonably reconfigured to preserve the heritage tree(s);
(3) Whether a reduction of required setbacks, buffers, road width or other code requirement,
as approved by the Administrator would be sufficient to preserve the heritage tree(s);
(4) Whether alternative construction methods, including the use of low-impact (LID)
techniques such as pervious pavement, grade beams, retaining walls, and/or tree wells, can
be utilized to preserve the tree;
(5) Whether the tree is dead, diseased or weakened by age, storms, fire or other natural
injuries, as determined by an evaluation of a certified arborist or a Florida licensed
landscape architect (in such case, the fee for the TEC review shall be waived);
(6) The tree is deemed to be hazardous to persons or property, as determined by an
evaluation of a certified arborist or a Florida licensed landscape architect;
(7) The tree will interfere with utilities that cannot feasibly be relocated;
(8) Other site specific conditions.
(9) Any appeal to the decision of the Titusville Environmental Commission shall be heard by
the City Council. Any applicant that is aggrieved by the decision of the Titusville
Environmental Commission may file a written appeal within thirty (30) days after the decision
in dispute, accompanied by the appropriate fee. Appeals shall be filed with the City and
shall state fully the grounds for the appeal and all facts relied upon by the petitioner. The
City Manager shall schedule the appeal for the consideration of the City Council within sixty
(60) days of receipt of the appeal.
(f) Specimen trees may only be removed if approved by the Administrator, after a site visit
and report by the city arborist. The Administrator shall consider the following factors in deciding
whether to grant or deny the application to remove a specimen tree.
(1) The impact of the proposed development on the impacted tree(s), as shown by a survey
or scale drawing of the subject property accurately depicting the location of the tree,
including the critical root zone;
(2) Whether the project can be reasonably reconfigured to preserve the specimen tree(s).
Reasonably reconfigured includes altering the proposed placement, orientation, or
height of any building or structure; and relocating roads, ponds or vehicle
accommodation areas.
(3) Whether a reduction of required setbacks of the project or vehicle accommodation areas
including required parking areas, as approved by council, would be sufficient to preserve
the specimen tree(s);
(4) Whether alternative construction methods can be utilized to preserve the tree;
(5) The cost of utilizing any alternative construction methods and the reduction in use and
value of the proposed project necessary to save the tree
(6) Whether the tree is dead, diseased or weakened by age, storms, fire or other natural
injuries, as determined by an evaluation of a certified arborist or a Florida licensed
landscape architect.
(7) The tree is deemed to be hazardous to persons or property as determined by an
evaluation of a certified arborist or Florida licensed landscape architect.
(8) The tree will interfere with utilities that cannot feasibly be relocated.
(9) If the tree is denying all reasonable use of the parcel.
(10) Other site-specific conditions, as determined by the administrator.
(11) Whether the placement or quantity of fill can be adjusted to save the specimen
tree. Strategies for adjusting fill include, but are not limited to, the use of low impact
development design features and the use of tree wells around the tree.
(1) For small trees, average maximum height of ten (10) feet but less than twenty-five (25)
feet, the total planting area is a minimum of one-hundred (100) square feet and a
minimum of ten (10) feet apart.
(2) For medium trees, average maximum height of twenty-five (25) feet but less than forty
(40) feet, the total planting area is a minimum of two hundred twenty-five (225) square

The mitigation plan shall include designation of proposed areas to be preserved and
specifications of the kind of existing vegetation in such areas.
(f) As a last resort for sites which cannot accommodate the plantings required by the Mitigation
Plan this section (as determined by the Administrator), the applicant shall contribute to the
City's Public Landscaping Trust Fund an amount equal to the following one hundred dollars
($100.00) per net caliper-inch lost mitigation dbh inch:
(1) Significant trees - $50.00
(2) Specimen trees - $100.00
(3) Heritage trees - $200.00
. This provision can be reduced to seventy-five dollars ($75.00) per a net caliper-inch lost when
the trees are logged, in lieu of burning.
(b) When mitigation trees are removed to address requirements established by floodplain
compensatory storage regulations (Section 30-103(f)(3)), the mitigation criteria for that
portion of the development shall be enforced as shown below:
(1) The replacement ratio shall be one-to-one replacement based on tree caliper.
(2) The contribution to the City's Public Landscape Trust Fund shall be an amount equal to
one hundred dollars ($100.00) per net caliper-inch lost.
(gc) The provision of payment into the City's Public Landscaping Trust Fund shall not be eligible
for a variance before the Board of Adjustment and Appeals.
(hd) Appeals. Appeals of the Administrator's determination as to the practicality of installing
required mitigation trees shall be processed as described in Section 34-248(b). If the
appeal is granted by the Board of Adjustment and Appeals, the applicant shall make the
required payment as stipulated by Section 30-35 (f) into the City's Public Landscaping Trust
Fund.
(i) Incentives to preserve trees and reduce mitigation are shown below.
(1) Incentive 1. Developments satisfying all requirements for minimum preserved canopy
and total canopy are exempt from further mitigation for significant trees that are
removed. On developments where this is achieved, a tree survey of significant trees is
not required outside of the total canopy area.
(2) Incentive 2. If site plan or subdivision plan provides for a total canopy area increase of
5% of the site in accordance with the table below, then no further tree mitigation or
payment in lieu of mitigation is required, with the exception of Heritage Trees which still
require mitigation
Total Canopy
Residential 35% or greater
Commercial 30% or greater
Industrial 20% or greater
(2) Written evaluation of the number of trees to be removed and any reasons for the
proposed layout. All trees twelve (12) inches dbh and greater, proposed to be removed
shall be flagged or painted in the field.
(3) The location of all mitigation size trees as located by a registered land surveyor,
landscape architect or certified nursery professional.
(4) The location of trees six (6) inches or greater in buffer areas or twenty (20) feet from
property lines.
(5) An explanation of how trees are to be protected during site clearing activities.
(6) Whenever possible, shredding, chipping and/or off-site wood logging is desirable
alternative to burning. In electing this option, a twenty-five (25) percent credit will be
given towards required tree mitigation and/or contribution to the City's Public
Landscaping Trust Fund.
(7) The developer agrees to work with staff and adjust the proposed layout to preserve
more trees and specifically to preserve mitigation size trees.
(2) Industrial development may consolidate all required landscaping between the public
right-of-way and the building. For example, the required planting materials in a building
perimeter landscape strip for the entire perimeter of the proposed structure may be
consolidated along the front edge of the building. As the minimum plant materials will
be consolidated along the front of the building, the remainder of the perimeter will not
require a building perimeter landscape strip. This consolidation can be applied to
required building perimeter landscape strips, and required landscape yards except as
noted below. This regulation shall not be construed to not require landscaping between
the building and any public right-of-way.
(3) Required landscape yards may only be consolidated between the building and public
right-of-way for property lines that abut other industrial development or zoning districts.
Industrial development that abuts non-industrial development or zoning districts shall
provide the required buffer along those property lines abutting non-industrial
development or zoning districts.
(4) Industrial development which is adjacent to two (2) public rights-of-way (ex: a corner
lot) may consolidate the required landscaping between the building and the two (2)
rights-of-way.
[(d)] [Reserved.]
(e) Downtown Mixed-Use (DMU) zoning district. The DMU landscape standards can be found
in Division 7 of this chapter.
(f) Required landscaping may be credited as established in the landscape credits table below.
Existing or newly installed Minimum 18 inches in Equals nine (9) square feet of approved
shrub height mixed vegetation
Note— Irregular shaped lots — It is the intent that by following the above-outlined performance
standards, each newly planted tree (palms not included) will have an average two hundred
(200) square foot rooting area. If a conflict occurs between newly planted trees, trees preserved,
and the number of trees required because of lot size, the Administrator may make the
determination to ensure the required rooting area of two hundred (200) square feet for each
tree.
Ordinances of the City. Once a development has lost its current approval, then in that event,
future development shall comply with applicable regulations.
Section 13: SEVERABILITY. If any provisions of this Ordinance are for any reason
held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be
deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision, and such holding shall not affect the
validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance.

SECTION 4: That Chapter 30, “Development Standards” Article II. “Environmental”, Division
2 “Trees and Vegetation (Preservation and Mitigation)”, Section 30-34 “Mitigation plan” of the
Land Development Regulations of the City of Titusville is hereby amended to read as follows:
Sec. 30-34. -– Canopy requirements preservation and Mitigation Plan.
(a) Canopy performance standards for residential development and mixed-use
developments where residential components occupy the largest portion of the acreage
shall be achieved by a combination of preservation and planting as specified below.
Only native trees and IFAS-designated Florida-friendly trees and plants may be counted
towards canopy.
(1) All single-family and multifamily residential lots or developments and
predominantly-residential mixed-use developments shall preserve an area of
approved low and moderate tolerant water usage mixed vegetation (native trees
and shrubs are preferred) tree canopy equal to at least twenty-five (25) ten (10)
percent of the total lot or development area. In the event there is no approved
low and moderate tolerant water usage mixed vegetation existing canopy is less
than twenty-five (25) percent on a lot or development or the canopy is spatially
distributed in a way that precludes preservation in separate tracts as required by
sec. 30-34 (a) (3), the applicant shall be required to establish an area of
approved low and moderate tolerant water usage mixed vegetation equal to ten
(10) percent of the lot or development achieve at least twenty-five (25) percent
canopy through the use of planted trees. Trees within a jurisdictional wetland
boundary shall not count toward the canopy preservation requirement. Trees
within a wetland setback or buffer may be counted toward the canopy
preservation requirement.
(2) All single-family and multi-family residential developments and predominantly-
residential mixed-use developments shall achieve a total of thirty-seven and one-
half (37.5) percent canopy through the preservation requirements stated in sec.
30-34 (a) (1) and through planted trees which will provide significant canopy
within five (5) years after planting.
(3) The area or areas of required canopy in sec. 30-34 (a) (1) and (2) shall be
recorded on the plat as separate tree tracts not part of individual lots, with the
plat language sufficient to afford legal protection. The locations of tree tracts
should be based in part on the distribution and groupings of healthy heritage and
specimen native hardwood trees. At least fifty (50) percent of healthy heritage
native hardwood trees should be incorporated into tree tracts. Placement of tree
tracts within the interior of the development is encouraged. Unless all or almost
all existing canopy is grouped along the property borders, no more than forty (40)
percent of the total tree tract acreage shall be located adjacent to property
boundaries.
(4) The canopy portion of a low impact development stormwater mitigation feature
incorporating trees may be used to satisfy canopy requirements in sec. 30-34 (a)
(1) or (2), as appropriate, provided that the low impact development feature is
identified on the plat as a separate tract, with the plat language sufficient to afford
legal protection.
(5) Three (3) year survival of trees is required. Selection of trees will include survival
of potential future stressful conditions, such as drought, soil fertility, flooding.
Loss of canopy within three (3) years will require replacement.
(b) Canopy performance standards for commercial and industrial development and mixed-use
development where commercial or industrial components occupy the largest portion of the
acreage shall be achieved by a combination of preservation and planting as specified
below. Only native trees and IFAS-designated Florida-friendly trees and plants may be
counted towards canopy.
(1) All commercial and industrial developments and predominantly commercial or
industrial mixed-use developments shall preserve an area of tree canopy equal
to at least twenty-five (25) percent of the development area. In the event existing
canopy is less than twenty-five (25) percent on a development area or the
canopy is spatially distributed in a way that precludes preservation in separate
tracts as required by sec. 30-34 (b) (3), the applicant shall be required to achieve
at least twenty-five (25) percent canopy through the use of planted trees. Trees
within a jurisdictional wetland boundary shall not count toward the canopy
preservation requirement. Trees within a wetland setback or buffer may be
counted toward the canopy preservation requirement.

Motion:
A motion was made to allow Woody Rice an additional two (2) minutes to speak. Member Stoeckel
seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Rice recommended to evaluate the ecological and economic benefits of what would be proposed for
the ordinance.
Discussion ensued that included the pros and cons of forming an Ad Hoc Committee. Council made no
decision to form an Ad Hoc Committee.
Based on Council’s discussion and Community Development Director Busacca’s recommendations, staff
would prepare an ordinance to address the following items: bring the protection of trees more in line with
the tree survey; include regulations that made sense; review parking spaces to allow less pavement;
include administrative reductions; increase penalties for removal of a protected tree; include more plan
developments, address clearcutting, etc.
Community Development Director Busacca anticipated staff preparing the ordinance by approximately
January 2020.
In addition, staff would continue to work on the items that were more complicated to change and required
additional research.

every month from 3:00 to 6:00 PM in downtown Titusville. Vendors are managed
by the County Ag/Ext Office, permitting and support are provided by the Titusville
Area Chamber, and the road closure is handled by City of Titusville. In 2020,
Brevard County utilized CARES Act funding to provide $50 in tokens at their
farmers markets for low-income households that had been negatively impacted
financially by the COVID pandemic. The City of Titusville is interested in
continuing that program for residents of Titusville, Florida utilizing CLFRF dollars
that they have received.
III. Term. August 27, 2021 to December 31, 2021
This MOU would allow for up to eight markets to be held between August 27, 2021
and December 31, 2021 with at least one (1) market being held per month.
This Agreement may be renewed or extended upon written agreement of the parties
and subject to appropriation of funds by the City.
IV. CLFRF Scope of Financial Allocations.
a. Beneficial Amount. Eight (8) markets with an average participation of
estimated 700 beneficiaries per market [8 x 700 x $50] = authorized budget
of two hundred and eighty thousand dollars ($280,000.00). This amount
will be administered by a City employee.
b. Infrastructure Costs. Supplies will be necessary including but not limited
to: tokens, signage, tents, tables and chairs, storage containers, etc.
Infrastructure costs shall not exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00).
Items of a non-consumable nature such as computer equipment will remain
property of the City upon completion of the program.
c. Chamber Employee Wages. The Chamber is responsible for establishing
the compensation rates and benefits of all its employees in conjunction with
the Farmer’s Market. The Chamber is responsible for directly paying its
employees each established pay period and for withholding any appropriate
government prescribed deductions and directly remitting such deductions
in a timely manner to the appropriate government agency. Those
administrative costs shall not exceed forty thousand dollars ($40,000).
d. Data collection/Registration System. Two thousand dollars. ($2,000.00)
V. City Roles and Responsibilities
a. Budget. The total authorized amount for the program is three hundred and
thirty-two thousand dollars ($332,000). This MOU governs the allocation
of fifty-two thousand dollars ($52,000) allocated to the Chamber, as
follows:
b. Payment Schedule. City shall pay the Chamber according to the following
schedule:
i. Initial payment. Upon execution of this agreement, the initial
payment shall include all estimated costs for overhead expenses:
station at the market. This provides an interface for those seeking assistance
with market tokens to also engage with local agencies and professionals to
help connect them to available resources.

staff and the Titusville Area Chamber of Commerce. Road closure and
opening shall be coordinated with City of Titusville Public Works. Chamber
Market Staff shall be responsible for event signage and set up, pre-event
assistance with registering for benefits, check-in and verification of
beneficiaries, token distribution, end-of-event settlement with vendors, and
event clean-up/tear down. Payment to Market Vendors will be coordinated
between Chamber and City staff, as the City staff will make all token
reconciliation payments directly to the Vendors.
VIII. Beneficiary Eligibility Criteria. In assessing whether a household or population
experienced economic harm as a result of the pandemic, a recipient may presume
that a household or population that experienced unemployment or increased food
or housing insecurity or is low- or moderate-income experienced negative
economic impacts resulting from the pandemic.
This program provides for one application per residential unit, and address must be
located within the City limits of Titusville, Florida. Titusville residents who can
provide current evidence of:
a. Homelessness or housing insecurity;
b. SNAP benefits or unemployment benefits;
c. Residency within a Titusville, Florida Qualified Census Tract1 (QCT), [a map of
demonstrating Titusville’s QCT is attached as Exhibit “A”] shall be eligible and
qualified to participate in the program; and/or
d. Residents who are at or below the median income for the area, and who certify
they experienced negative economic impacts as a result of the pandemic. Utilizing
the median income for Titusville of $65,900 as provided by Neighborhood Services
and revising the chart as recommended by the Ag/Ext office, the proposed income
levels for households who are eligible to receive benefits at the market is as follows:
ANNUAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME

subject to the requirements and guidelines for eligible uses contained in the
Interim Final Rule issued by Department of Treasury regarding Coronavirus State
and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. [RIN 1505-AC77]

The Chamber shall be solely responsible for compliance with all labor and tax laws
pertaining to the Chamber employees, officers and agents utilized to staff the
Facility and shall indemnify and hold the City harmless from any failure to comply
with such laws. In the event the City provides training, equipment, materials, or
otherwise facilitates the performance of the Chamber employees’ duties, this shall
not affect the Chambers status as an independent contractor.

days written notice with or without cause. In the event of such termination, the
Chamber shall be compensated for all services rendered prior to the date of
termination.

Exhibit “A”
Category: 12.
Item: A.
City of Titusville
Recommended Action:
Provide direction on the allocation of American Rescue Plan Act funds for the proposed Forest
Glen low-income housing tax credit housing project located at 2001 South Street.
Subsequent to the aforementioned July 13th meeting, the Neighborhood Services Department
received a request for funding from an affordable housing developer who is applying for the
annual Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) Low-Income Housing Tax Credit
(LIHTC) program, for the vacant property located at 2001 South Street. The developer, in their
application, is seeking the Local Government Areas of Opportunity Designation and Goal,
which requires a commitment from the City in the form of a grant or loan of $460,000.00 at
application, demonstrating its high level of interest in the project. Although the Local
Government Areas of Opportunity Designation is not a requirement to apply for the tax credit
program, it provides the project a preference for the tax credit funding over non-opportunity
designations. It should be noted that the City is open to accepting applications for projects
through the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) Low-Income Housing Tax Credit
(LIHTC) program at any time. Currently, the requested project is the only application which has
been made to City.
The Forest Glen development proposal indicates that the development, when complete, would
consist of ninety (90) units for low-income households making up to 80% of the area median-
income consisting of one, two, and three bedroom options, as well as ten percent (10%) of the
units set-aside for those individuals or families meeting the HUD definition of homeless.
If approved by Council, staff would commit $460,000.00 of the City's ARPA grant funds to this
project, which would preclude staff from entertaining other affordable housing development
Funds committed under this action would not be transferred to the Developer until successful
completion of the project on or before the ARPA expenditure deadline. The funding would be
provided through a local development agreement requiring a minimum of a twenty-year
affordability period (lien) to ensure that the project remains its intended use during that
timeframe. At the end of the twenty-year affordability period, the City would received repayment
in full of its investment, which in turn would be regenerated back into affordable housing
programs.
The Neighborhood Services staff has reviewed the Forest Glen proposal, and finds that it
meets the intent of the current American Rescue Plan Act program guidelines, as well as the
City's housing goals and objectives found in its Community Development Block Grant and
Five-Year Strategic Plan.
Staff is seeking Council's direction on the commitment of its full $460,000.00 ARPA affordable
housing set-aside funds for this project, and authorization for the City Manager to execute the
Florida Housing Finance Corporation Local Government Verification of Contribution- Loan
Form, if approved.
