Rever REFERENCES: Planning and Zoning Director It is recommended that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners. 1. Description and Conditions The Board of County Commissioners initiated action to rezone from R-3 Multi -Family (15 units/acre)to R -2B Multi -Family(° units/acre) an 18.8 acre parcel located on the Indian River, 650 feet east of U.S. #1, adjacent to the north side of 106th Street. Sebastian Highlands is on the west side of U.S. #1, The subject property and the contiguous properties to the west (zoned R -2B Multi-Family),•and C -1A Restricted Comr~.- presently under single ownership. The owner proposes to develop the entire parcel into a residential and related neighborhood commercial area. In pursuing this p' - the owner was granted a rezoning request for the parcel presently R -2B. The subject {property has a few rows of groves on the western boundary with%native vegetation extending east to the Indian River. The eastern portion of the property contains wetlands and lies within the 100 -year floodplain. There is a group of mobile homes fronting on the river and an inlet directly south of the subject property. 2. Alternatives and Analysis A) Approve the action and rezone the property to R -2B Multi -Family -(8 units/acre)., This alternative incorporates the design flexibility of multi -family development with a density compatible with the limited carrying capacity of the land and the existing land use patterns. The Planning staff recommends this alternative. B) Abandon the rezoning action, leaving the subject property in an R-3 Multi -Family District (15 units/acre). This alternative would allow development intensities which exceeds the land's carrying capacity. C) Recommendation s This rezoning action has been returned directly to the Board of County Commissioners at their request. That the Cummins property, an 18.8 acre parcel located on the Indian River 650 feet east of U.S. 1 adjacent to the north side of 106th Street, be_ rezoned from R-3 Multiple Family to R -2B Multiple Family. COMMISSIONER FLETCHER WISHED TO KNOW HOW MUCH OF THE ANTICI- PATED DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE IN THE 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN AREA, AND WHILE MR. CHALLACOMBE DID NOT HAVE SPECIFIC DATA, HE ESTIMATED ABOUT 1/4 OF THE PROPERTY IS ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AND WHATEVER IS RESIDUAL FROM THE ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS WOULD BE DEVELOPED AS PER THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION. HE BELIEVED THE ENTIRE AREA UP TO U.S.1 IS IN THE 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN AREA. JUN 171981 ROOK - 4_mat 714 43
