The Titusville City Council will convene on September 8, 2026, to address items related to infrastructure capacity, land use regulations, and public safety improvements.

The meeting is scheduled for 6:30 PM at the Council Chamber, City Hall, 555 South Washington Avenue.

Water Supply Capacity Allocation (Consent Agenda Item 8.B)
The Mourning Dove Water Treatment Facility serves as the primary site for managing water capacity in relation to new residential developments. Administrative oversight of these resources is required to ensure that specific project demands do not exceed the city’s available surplus.

The Council will evaluate a water supply capacity allocation permit for the Titusville Destination and Resort Multi-Family Building. The technical data for this request is summarized below:

Metric	Value	Projected Impact/Context
Total Units	240 units	High-density multi-family residential project.
Water Request	62,114 gallons per day (gpd)	Daily demand required for total project build-out.
Mourning Dove Surplus Capacity	411,000+ gpd	Remaining capacity available prior to this request.
Percentage of Surplus Utilized	15.1%	Proportion of remaining surplus consumed by this project.

This project-specific allocation is separate from the city-wide regulatory thresholds established in the Consumptive Use Permit (CUP). To maintain municipal reserves, the city continues the purchase of water from the City of Cocoa. Utility infrastructure management transitions to environmental and safety initiatives supported by external grants.

Federal & Local Funding for Urban Forestry and Safety (Items 8.D & 8.K)
The City of Titusville is utilizing external grants and Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) funds to manage urban forestry resources and downtown pedestrian safety.

• FDACS Hurricane Ian Recovery Grant (Item 8.D): The Council is requested to authorize the acceptance of a $75,000 federal grant from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. These funds are allocated for a public tree inventory, fulfilling Objective 1.1 of the City’s Urban Forestry Management Plan.
• Downtown Tree Replacement and Safety Project (Item 8.K): This project utilizes $49,380 in CRA safety improvement funds. The city intends to contract SDV Services, LLC, to replace dead trees and install custom grates in 20 existing boxes. These grates are intended to mitigate reported tripping hazards in the downtown corridor.

These appropriations precede the consideration of land-use amendments and municipal ordinances.

Ordinance No. 21-2026: Recreational and Commercial Amusement (Indoor)
Ordinance No. 21-2026 proposes amending the Code of Ordinances to permit indoor recreation and commercial amusement within the Downtown Mixed Use (DMU) district. This amendment seeks to regulate high-occupancy usage through specific zoning constraints.

The requirements for indoor facilities include:

• Permitted Uses: Includes bowling alleys, theaters, and gyms.
• Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Requirement: Triggered by a calculated occupancy of 400 or more persons; this serves as the primary mechanism for managing high-density impacts in the DMU district.
• Prohibited Zones: Prohibited within the Civic Waterfront subdistrict.
• Acreage Requirement: A 10-acre minimum is required for large assembly halls.

The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of this ordinance on August 5, 2026, with a 6-0 vote. The Council will next consider legislative restrictions on emerging industrial land uses.

Ordinance No. 22-2026: Prohibition of Municipal Data Centers
Acting under the authority of Florida Senate Bill 484, the City Council is considering Ordinance No. 22-2026 to establish data centers as a prohibited use within the city. This zoning exclusion is based on the preservation of municipal resources.

The prohibition addresses three primary resource impacts:

1. Electrical Load: Intensive demands on the local power grid.
2. Cooling Requirements: High energy requirements for thermal management.
3. Water Consumption: Significant volumes of water utilized by cooling systems.

“Version 6” of the ordinance explicitly excludes standard business server rooms and accessory data storage activities from the prohibition. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval (6-1) on August 19, 2026. The dissenting member cited concerns that the definition of data centers was “too loose.” City-wide zoning exclusions are followed by site-specific rezoning applications.

Rezoning Application No. 2-2026: 1915 North Singleton Avenue
The Council will conduct the first reading of Rezoning Application No. 2-2026, which seeks to change the zoning classification of 7.5+/- acres from Single-Family Medium Density (R-1B) to General Use (GU).

The applicant, Southern Unique Sustainability LLC, proposes a regenerative agriculture farm homestead. Under GU zoning regulations, any buildings used for animal housing must be situated at least 50 feet from all property lines.

On September 2, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend denial of the application. The Commission cited two specific reasons for this recommendation:

1. “Inconsistencies [with agritourism].”
2. The “lack of a complete conceptual plan” for the site.

Legislative review of private land use transitions to the administrative management of public waterfront assets.

Titusville Municipal Marina: Activity and Use Considerations (Item 11.A)
The long-term trajectory of the Titusville Municipal Marina and waterfront parks is governed by a historical and legal framework:

• 1963: Dedication of 22.2 acres for public recreation only.
• 1984: Transfer of 16.47 acres to the city without restrictive covenants.
• 2009: Submerged lands lease of 347,449 sq. ft., expiring in 2034.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has issued a finding that these land use restrictions can be modified administratively based on Council direction.

The Council is responsible for directing the City Attorney on the appropriate balance of municipal, recreational, and commercial uses for these areas.
