zoning district is intended to provide for the development of projects which require flexibility in <br />order to maximize open space and conserve natural features, provide alternative and energy- <br />efficient/sustainable designs, incorporate recreational facilities, incorporate a mix of uses, and <br />provide a variety of housing choices. <br />Policy 5.6: By 2011, Indian River County shall adopt development regulations allowing mixed <br />use PDs in residentially -designated areas. All mixed use PDs in residentially designated areas <br />shall meet all of the following criteria: <br />Development Parameters <br />1. The maximum project area for a mixed use PD in a residential area shall be 40 acres. <br />Mixed use projects exceeding 40 acres shall be designed as Traditional Neighborhood <br />Design (TND) developments and shall comply with Future Land Use Element <br />Policies 18.1, 18.2, and 18.3. <br />2. Mixed use PDs shall be limited to areas designated L-1, L-2, M-1, and M-2 and shall <br />be located along SR 60, US 1, Indian River Blvd., 58th Avenue, CR 510 (west of the <br />Indian River Lagoon), CR 512, or Oslo Road. Alternatively, mixed use PDs in M-1 <br />and M-2 designated areas may be located on sites that are adjacent to C/I nodes. <br />Mix of Uses <br />3. To ensure that mixed use PDs contain an appropriate mix of residential and <br />commercial uses, commercial uses shall be allowed to constitute no more than 20% of <br />a project's land area in L-1 and L-2 designated areas and no more than 25% of a <br />project's land area in M-1 and M-2 designated areas. <br />4. The vertical mixing of uses is allowed and strongly encouraged. Where residential <br />and/or office uses are designed and located above commercial uses, the amount of <br />commercial area may constitute up to 25% of the project's land area in L-1 and L-2 <br />designated areas and up to 30% of the project's land area in M-1 and M-2 designated <br />areas. <br />5. For purposes of these mixed use regulations, commercial area shall include buildings, <br />parking areas, and adjacent improvements that serve commercial uses. Open space <br />areas and common areas/improvements that are shared with residential uses, however, <br />shall not be treated as commercial area. <br />6. Commercial uses allowed in mixed-use PDs shall be limited to lodging, institutional, <br />office, retail, personal service, and restaurant uses. <br />Future Land Use Element 157 <br />
