Multiple -Family <br />In contrast to single-family development, multiple -family development occupies only 1,926 <br />acres of land in the county. More likely to be found within the municipalities, multiple -family <br />uses, generally ranging in density from 3 to 10 units/acre, can be found throughout the <br />unincorporated county, but are concentrated in three areas. These areas are along Indian River <br />Boulevard, along US Highway I in the south part of the county, and along SR 60 between 58th <br />and 82nd Avenues. <br />Several other areas of the county contain smaller concentrations of multiple -family housing. One <br />is Gifford, an area which contains scattered multiple -family development west of US Highway 1. <br />Located east of US Highway 1, the Grand Harbor development is expected to contain nearly <br />2,000 multi -family units in a mixed use project when construction is completed. Other large <br />multiple -family developments are located along SR AIA on the barrier island between the Town <br />of Indian River Shores and CR 510, and in the Sebastian area, east of US Highway 1. <br />In the county, most multiple -family units are developed as condominiums and occupied by the <br />county's growing number of part-time seasonal residents. The newer, larger developments are <br />multi -phased planned residential developments with a variety of residential and recreation <br />options. <br />Recently, several affordable multiple -family projects were constructed in the county. These <br />projects have tended to locate along Indian River Boulevard or within the SR 60 Corridor. The <br />Housing Element addresses this issue in detail. <br />Mobile Homes <br />According to Property Appraiser's data, there are 1,084 acres of mobile home/mobile home park <br />use in the unincorporated part of the county. The largest concentration of mobile homes is near <br />the SR 60/I-95 interchange. That area contains several large mobile home parks. The next largest <br />concentration of mobile homes is along the US Highway 1 corridor in the Sebastian/Wabasso <br />area. Areas with smaller numbers of mobile homes include Gifford and the US Highway 1/Old <br />Dixie Highway corridor in the south county. Figure 2.4 identifies the location of mobile home <br />parks in the county. <br />Future Land Use Element 16 <br />
