Titusville, FL Building Setbacks & Zoning: Structure Height Limits (2026)

Every one of Titusville's standard single-family and multifamily residential zoning districts, Residential Estate (RE, Sec. 28-301), Rural Residential (RR, Sec. 28-302), Single-Family Low Density (R-1A, Sec. 28-303), Single-Family Medium Density (R-1B, Sec. 28-304), Single-Family High Density (R-1C, Sec. 28-305), Multifamily Medium Density (R-2, Sec. 28-306) and Multifamily High Density (R-3, Sec. 28-307), lists the same 'Height, maximum (ft.)' figure of 35 feet in its Intensity and Dimensional Standards table. The two manufactured-housing districts, Residential Manufactured Housing (RMH-1, Sec. 28-308) and Residential Manufactured Housing Park (RMH-2, Sec. 28-309), cap height lower, at 25 feet, and Sec. 28-8(c)(5) separately caps individual mobile homes and their accessory structures at 20 feet regardless of the underlying district figure.

Because Titusville sits across the Indian River from Kennedy Space Center and near several municipal airports, the City layers a separate citywide Height Overlay on top of these district figures in Chapter 29, Article IX. Sec. 29-162 lets multifamily and commercial buildings reach 75 feet, and mixed-use buildings up to 150 feet with public-waterfront-walkway and dual-use conditions, inside the mapped Height Overlay District along U.S. 1. Critically, Sec. 29-162(c) carves single-family residential out of that increase entirely: 'Single-family residential shall be limited to the height established by the zoning district,' meaning the 35-foot RE-through-R-3 cap and the 25-foot RMH cap continue to govern regardless of the overlay. Properties abutting single-family residential also face a separate cap under Sec. 29-162(b): a nonresidential or multifamily building next to single-family use cannot exceed 35 feet above the height of the abutting single-family structure.
