Rezoning & Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendments in Brevard County, FL

What matters for this in Brevard County
Brevard rezonings go to the Planning and Zoning Board and then the Board of County Commissioners. Coastal high-hazard areas on the barrier island limit density increases.
Most of Brevard drains to the Indian River Lagoon. Under the Save Our Indian River Lagoon program and current state law, a new home in the lagoon basin generally has to connect to sewer where it is available, or use an enhanced nutrient-reducing septic system where it is not. That one fact can move a lot's budget by thousands.
