Hurricane Preparedness The location of the City of Satellite Beach on a coastal barrier island necessitates planning for evacuation in the event of a hurricane. Effective planning on a regional basis minimizes the risk to human lives in the event of a natural disaster. In 1987, the Brevard County Office of Emergency Management conducted a survey of upland public shelter spaces available in the event of a hurricane evacuation order being issued. That survey concluded that 55,000 spaces were available and suitable for designation to meet countywide needs. The County determined that the county-wide population in 1987 requiring evacuation was 135,000 persons and that 37,900 public shelter spaces were required to serve the portion of that group estimated in need of public shelter. A surplus of 17,100 spaces was therefore available as of 1987. A new survey of public shelters and shelter space is due to be conducted in September of 1997. The City distributes a map and listing of public shelter locations available to the population residing in the City. A total of 42 shelter locations are identified within a ten-mile radius. These locations are conveniently accessible to other communities on the Barrier Island as well as mobile home occupants on the mainland. Through effective intergovernmental coordination, shelter needs of the entire South Brevard County area are being met in an appropriate manner. Evacuees from the City would proceed north on South Patrick Drive and SR A1A to SR 404 (Pineda Causeway) where traffic proceeds westward across the Banana River and Indian River to the mainland. The flood prone areas outlined on the CHHA map encompass the area which would become impassable as a result of pre-landfall storm effects during the 4 to 6 hours prior to landfall. Hurricane Evacuation Hurricane evacuation issues and procedures are discussed in the Transportation Element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Hazard Mitigation The vulnerability of Satellite Beach to the wind, wave, and flooding effects of major storms has been a constant consideration in terms of the structural integrity of the buildings of the City. This has been achieved through adoption and enforcement of a number of building and construction-related codes with revisions. In addition to the listed building and construction-related codes, the City has established by ordinance an "Ocean Bluff Protection Area." Provisions of the ordinance protect the dunes and dune vegetation from excavation and destruction. By preserving the integrity of the dune system, the natural storm protection provided by the dunes can be maintained. Coastal Management/Conservation Element Data and Analysis 5-16
Post-Disaster Redevelopment Existing Conditions The incorporation of Satellite Beach occurred in 1957 and prior to 2004 there were no major coastal storms affecting the City. The Coastal High Hazard Area Map depicts the area subject to flooding in the event of a 100-year storm. Zoning regulations serve as the primary control for land use, site utilization, and development intensity. About two percent (2%) of the City's land area remains to be developed. The City's character and form is, therefore, established and future development is influenced by current development patterns. Permitted principal uses are limited to residential structures. Conditional uses, including office buildings, institutions, and personal service establishments, may be permitted by the City with conditions as determined to be appropriate by the City. Requirements are imposed by the City regarding setbacks from the bluff line and required breezeways (open spaces as percentage of lot width measures in a north-south direction). In addition, the zoning code contains provisions for establishing supporting structural beams above the base flood elevation and engineering certification of structural stability to withstand storm conditions occurring in a 100-year storm. The area west of SR A1A currently has a zoning height limit of 25 feet for all structures and an orderly development pattern consisting of low-density residential uses, low-intensity commercial uses, institutional uses, and public facilities giving the area an open and uncongested character. There is no evidence of widespread physical obsolescence or deterioration of structures and current codes adopted by the City and policies included in this Comprehensive Plan should help assure prevention of such conditions. Implications for Redevelopment No major alteration of land use patterns or development intensity ranges are necessary through redevelopment to achieve commonly-accepted community planning principals. Post-disaster redevelopment needs of the City will therefore be governed by the future occurrence of a coastal storm and the extent of damage resulting therefrom. The current land use pattern and permitted densities/intensities would be reasonable under a redevelopment plan should that become necessary. The proposed land uses within the City reflect existing zoning and development patterns. Aside from fundamental issues of land use, intensity of development, and the application of a full range of construction-related codes and regulations appropriate for a coastal community, other concerns must be addressed within the context of post-disaster activities by the City. An immediate response by the City to restore safe and healthful conditions for the citizens of Satellite Beach has the highest priority and must be initiated at the earliest practicable time following a storm in accordance with the Emergency Management System adopted and maintained by the City. Such a plan will be useful in the aftermath of minor storms where damage is limited to clean-up of tree branches and debris, as well as the more extensive activities associated with a major storm involving evacuation, structural damage, and interruption of essential public services.
