Dredge <strong>and</strong> Spoil Disposal Sites<br />
The City of <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> has a policy in which the City determines <strong>and</strong> designates dredge spoil<br />
disposal sites to meet future needs, maintains the City’s navigable waterways, is consistent with<br />
environmental <strong>and</strong> natural resource protection policies, <strong>and</strong> meets reasonable cost <strong>and</strong> transportation<br />
requirements.<br />
Adjacent Uses<br />
L<strong>and</strong> uses in the City of <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> are compatible with adjacent l<strong>and</strong> uses lying in the City of<br />
Indian Harbour <strong>Beach</strong> directly to the south, unincorporated Brevard County to the north, the Atlantic<br />
Ocean to the east <strong>and</strong> the Banana River to the west.<br />
<strong>Beach</strong> Area Development<br />
The <strong>Beach</strong> Area is defined in the Comprehensive Plan as the l<strong>and</strong> area in <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> lying to the<br />
east of SR A1A that extends a distance of 2.85 miles between the City’s northern <strong>and</strong> southern<br />
limits. Present development controls include the Ocean Bluff Protection Ordinance, the Coastal<br />
Construction Control Line, L<strong>and</strong> Development Regulation Sections: 30-278 - Anchoring <strong>and</strong><br />
Elevation of Structures <strong>and</strong> Hurricane Wind <strong>and</strong> Wave St<strong>and</strong>ards; 30-395 - Dune Protection <strong>and</strong><br />
Construction Guidelines; <strong>and</strong> 30-801- Dune Vegetation Guidelines, as well as other permitting<br />
procedures. Current residential zoning allows development in the beach area at a maximum<br />
permitted density of fifteen (11) units per acre.<br />
Vacant L<strong>and</strong> Use <strong>Analysis</strong><br />
The City’s l<strong>and</strong> area is ninety-eight (98) percent developed. According to the <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong><br />
Building Department, a total of 393 dwelling units were permitted between 2003 <strong>and</strong> 2008. Because<br />
of a small amount of vacant developable l<strong>and</strong>, the City’s goal is to ensure that future infill<br />
development <strong>and</strong> redevelopment are compatible with existing development so as not to alter the<br />
predominately residential character of the community.<br />
The Plan for Future L<strong>and</strong> Use<br />
The City of <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> has a well-defined l<strong>and</strong> use arrangement which generally conforms with<br />
modern community planning principles <strong>and</strong> practices. The current overall pattern of l<strong>and</strong> use will<br />
not change in the foreseeable future for several reasons:<br />
1. Only about 2 percent of the total City l<strong>and</strong> area is in a vacant, undeveloped state.<br />
2. There are no conditions existing in adjacent or nearby communities which significantly affect<br />
the character, timing, or rate of development within the City.<br />
