The Titusville City Council convenes tonight to tackle a packed agenda featuring critical decisions on local traffic laws, recovery housing, major infrastructure investments, and community improvements.

Here is a detailed breakdown of the action items the Council will be voting on during tonight’s meeting:

New Ordinances and Regulations

Regulating Trucks on Local Roads: The Council will conduct the first reading of Ordinance No. 10-2026, which aims to create “No Thru Truck Zones” to prohibit heavy trucks from traveling on certain residential streets. Spurred by concerns over neighborhood safety and the excessive wear and tear large construction vehicles cause to local roads, the ordinance will also require large-scale developments to submit construction traffic management plans that outline routes for heavy trucks.

Certified Recovery Residences: Also up for a first reading is Ordinance No. 9-2026, which establishes procedures for the review and approval of certified recovery residences. This ordinance ensures the city complies with a new state law (Chapter 2025-182) requiring municipalities to create a formal process for these facilities to request reasonable land-use accommodations by January 2026.

Note: A highly anticipated “Live Local Ordinance” (Ordinance No. 6-2026) originally scheduled for a second reading and public hearing has been officially withdrawn by city staff and will not require a vote.

Zoning and Land Use

Rezoning at 317 Oleander Place: The Council will hold a second reading and public hearing to vote on rezoning a 0.18-acre vacant lot from Indian River City Neighborhood-Commercial (IRCN-C) to Indian River City Neighborhood-Residential (IRCN-R). If approved, the zoning change will allow the property owner to construct a new single-family home.

Updating Quasi-Judicial Procedures: The Council is slated to adopt Resolution No. 07-2026, which adds to decades-old guidelines and establishes quasi-judicial procedures for land-use hearings. The new rules outline hearing processes, cross-examination rights, and formally define terms like “abutting real property” and “party intervenor”.

Infrastructure and Utility Upgrades

Area III Wellfield Generator: The Council will vote on awarding a $194,174.15 contract to Zabatt Power Systems. This contract will cover the purchase, delivery, and installation of a new 500 kW diesel generator at the Area III Wellfield to replace an aging unit that was damaged during an October storm.

Water Allocation for Astra Haus: The Council will decide whether to authorize a water supply capacity allocation permit for the Astra Haus Luxury Apartments, a proposed 138-unit complex at US 1 and Dairy Road. The development requires 15,723 gallons per day, which utilizes 3.82% of the city’s excess water capacity.

Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant: The Council will vote on whether to continue participating as a stakeholder in Brevard County’s Space Coast Wastewater System Expansion Feasibility Study. Participation involves a non-binding commitment to provide the city’s user demand projections until the site selection process is completed.

State Revolving Fund Amendment: The Council will review Amendment No. 4 to the State Revolving Fund Agreement WW050350. Approving this amendment will extend the agreement’s deadline to March 2027, granting the city additional time to secure a Brevard County right-of-way permit needed for the Sisson Road Force Main design project.

Community Parks and Recognitions

Modular Classroom for Isaac Campbell Park: Utilizing funds originally budgeted for the Deleon Avenue Trail Project, the Council will vote to approve a $96,548 purchase of a modular classroom building from Mobile Modular. Coordinated with Brevard County Parks and Recreation, the new facility will be placed at Isaac Campbell Park to serve as a computer lab and meeting space for senior adults.

Commending Outstanding Students: Ahead of the upcoming Student Awards Ceremony on April 27, the Council will vote to adopt Resolution No. 8-2026, officially commending local students from North Brevard Area Schools who have achieved scholastic excellence and persevered through adversity.

Administrative and Board Actions The Council is also expected to take action on several routine administrative matters, including:

Approving the meeting minutes from the March 10 and March 24, 2026, regular City Council meetings.

Accepting the resignation of Greg Aker from the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), effective April 15, 2026.

Approving a four-month leave of absence (July through October 2026) for Michael Myjak from the Titusville Environmental Commission (TEC).

Approving a travel request for Historic Preservation Board Member Kirk Davis to attend the 2026 Preserve Florida Conference in St. Petersburg this May
