Titusville Development Review Committee DRC No. 14-2026: 1205 Chaffee Drive Parking Waiver for Flex Warehouse Buildings on November 18

The Titusville Development Review Committee will consider a parking waiver for 1205 Chaffee Drive on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. The request is DRC No. 14-2026. The applicant, Tyler Counts, asks to exceed the maximum number of parking spaces the city's Technical Manual allows for warehouse use. The plans show 133 total parking spaces for two multi-tenant flex buildings. The staff recommendation is for the committee to consider the request. No decision has been made yet.

Where the Item Appears on the Agenda

The request is item 7.A under Old Business. The agenda lists the action as "Consider the proposed waiver request." The meeting will be held in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 555 South Washington Avenue, Titusville. The agenda states the meeting will follow the procedures adopted in Resolution No. 7-2026.

Why the Item Is Back on November 18

The item first came before the committee on November 3, 2026. The draft minutes of that meeting state that the applicant asked to continue the request because the applicant could not attend. The committee voted 5 to 0 to table the waiver to the November 18 meeting.

The Property

The application lists these details.

• Property address of 1205 Chaffee Drive

• Parcel ID 23-35-03-00-263

• Site size of 4.93 acres, or 214,750 square feet

• Zoning of Planned Industrial Development (PID)

• Current use listed as vacant

The survey and site plan show the site at the corner of Chaffee Drive and Grissom Parkway. The staff report states the nearby land is zoned PID, Industrial (M-2), and Brevard County Heavy Industrial (IU-1). The application lists BB Flex Titusville, LLC as the owner and Tyler Counts as the agent.

The Proposed Project

The staff report describes a multi-tenant flex space development. It would have two buildings totaling about 59,000 square feet. The site plan shows one building of 45,472 square feet and one of 13,560 square feet. The project is under site plan review. The site plan lists a proposed maximum building height of 50 feet.

What the Parking Rule Says

Section 9.16 of the Technical Manual sets parking standards for development in the city. Table 9.16.4 is titled "Minimum Parking Requirements." For warehouse use, it calls for 1 space per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area for the first 5,000 square feet. It then calls for 1 space per 10,000 square feet for each additional 10,000 square feet. The table has a "Max Per Unit" column that reads "125% of the minimum."

Section 9.16.1 calls for a minimum of two bicycle spaces or an amount equal to 5 percent of the vehicle spaces.

What the Applicant Is Asking For

The waiver would allow 133 total parking spaces. The staff report breaks them down as follows.

• 120 standard vehicle spaces

• 6 ADA accessible spaces

• 7 bicycle spaces

The parking table on the site plan cover sheet compares the code numbers with the plan.

• First 5,000 square feet: 5 required and 5 proposed

• Each additional 10,000 square feet: 6 required and 115 proposed

• Accessible spaces: 1 required and 6 proposed

• Bicycle spaces: 7 required and 7 proposed

• Total: 18 required and 133 proposed

The Applicant's Reasons

The application narrative states that the buildings include warehouse parts but are designed to work mainly as multi-tenant flex space. It states they will serve a variety of independent businesses rather than one large warehouse user. It states each tenant is expected to have its own operating hours, employee needs, and visitor traffic. According to the application, this leads to greater parking demand than is typical for a traditional warehouse.

The staff report states the buildings are divided into units of about 1,250 square feet. It states the applicant indicates that a rate of 2.5 to 3 spaces per unit better fits expected employee and visitor parking needs.

How the Committee Reviews a Waiver

The staff report states that Section 34-286 of the Code gives the committee authority to waive this requirement. It applies the review criteria in Section 34-288. The staff report lists these four criteria, joined by "or."

The alternative standards promote flexibility and environmental soundness in layout and design.

The proposed new standards are appropriate to the proposed type of development.

The property has physical constraints that prevent use of the technical manual provisions, and the waiver would allow the provision to be carried out to the greatest extent possible.

The waiver would be based on the latest best professional practices that would not be possible in implementing the code provision.

Staff Analysis

Staff states that the multi-tenant layout may support other parking standards suited to the type of development, consistent with Section 34-288(a)(2). Staff also states that the parking analysis requested during site plan review has not been provided.

Staff asks the committee to consider the request under Section 34-288. It asks the committee to weigh the expected parking needs of the multi-tenant development against the substantial increase in parking spaces beyond the maximum permitted.

Possible Outcomes

The staff report lists three alternatives. They are to approve the waiver, deny it, or take other action. The staff report states that under Section 34-289, the committee reviews waiver applications with staff comments. It then approves, approves with conditions, or denies the request by a majority of the attending members.

The application form states that any conditions placed on an approval bind the owner, heirs, and successors in title to the property.

Appeals

The staff report states that any appeal of the committee's decision shall be heard by the Board of Adjustment and Appeals within 30 days after the decision is rendered. The agenda states that a person who appeals a committee decision will need a record of the proceedings. That person may need to ensure a verbatim record is made, including the testimony and evidence for the appeal.

How to Take Part

The agenda describes the speaking order. Those in favor speak first, those opposed speak second, and those with public comment speak third. The applicant may give a brief rebuttal. A representative from either side may cross-examine a witness. Anyone who speaks is considered a witness.

The agenda states that speakers on Public Hearing items must fill out and sign an Oath Card. Cards are on the table near the Council Chamber entrance or available from the Recording Secretary. Photos, sketches, or documents for the committee must be submitted into evidence through the Recording Secretary. The city keeps them.

The application form states the matter is subject to quasi-judicial rules. It states interested parties should limit contact with the committee to properly noticed public meetings. Written communication on Technical Manual waivers goes to the Development Services Manager, City of Titusville, P.O. Box 2806, Titusville, FL 32781.

The agenda states the city desires to accommodate persons with disabilities. A written request to the chairperson should be submitted at least 48 hours before the meeting.

The recommended action for item 7.A is to consider the proposed waiver request. The Titusville Development Review Committee meets Wednesday, November 18, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., Council Chamber, City Hall, 555 South Washington Avenue, Titusville.
