Thanks Tom, I'm confused. I thought that sheds (while still having to meet code) didn't require a permit (via the Councilman Baily days, or I may have that confused with fences) . In any event where I left off with this is there is a code and a inspection for sheds (to ensure it doesn't blow away in a hurricane, set backs etc) The point being there are already codes for these items. What would P&Z be writing new code for (especially since most of the new developments here are HOAs and have their own very restrictive regulations on what you can have in your back yard)? There is already a restriction on detached buildings not exceeding residence sq feet? (unless they changed this for Tiny Houses, is that being thrown out the window?). By the verbiage here, it seems there is plenty of code regulations for home based business in residential areas. What is the issue they are trying to solve here? If this is simply they are going to further impede property rights on non HOA property (keeping in mind the Council has just passed mandatory utility hook ups, and trotted out a bureaucrat to tell us new Septic regs will cost homeowners $20K) then we should show up in numbers at the P&Z mtg. Thanks
Better to be vocal about it now, than when it gets to the final approval in front of the City Council. This basically means that anyone who owns an adjacent lot, or other lots in the city will be deemed useless except for building a new home on. Builders and general contractors will be able to buy lots at drastically reduced rates because the value has depleted for the previous owner due to such restrictions. This will have an overall negative effect on the city's tax base.
Yes Sir, Ironic (im not anti-growth btw) that I see dozens of public commenters & msg boards of folks relaying to the Council how unhappy they are with the rate of growth and the traffic. Yet in addition to the many HOA developments the Council has approved they are now trying to facilitate more houses in non-HOA areas with this exercise. I hope to be at the meeting. Thanks for giving this visibility

I’d be happy if Palm Bay would enforce the codes and rules they already have. Once they get those in order, then move to new rules.
