Lotis Palm Bay Mixed-Use Development Proposal
Summary
A 124-acre mixed-use development proposed for western Palm Bay would add roughly 664 homes, a 119-space RV park, and about 50,000 square feet of commercial space near Malabar Road and St. Johns Heritage Parkway. It would also bring the parkway extension, new roads, and trail connections to Fred Poppe Regional Park — a big change for the area's traffic and character.

Impact analysis
The project involved millions in developer-funded infrastructure, but raised long-term municipal service costs.
Future residents would get new housing and amenities, and nearby neighbors would gain new pedestrian connections to Fred Poppe Regional Park.
Nearby residents may face increased traffic and construction impacts as the area develops.
