➢ Town of Indian River Shores <br />The Town of Indian River Shores is an affluent residential community on the barrier island. To <br />the west, the Indian River Lagoon provides a common boundary between the town and the <br />county. On the south, the town abuts the City of Vero Beach, while the Atlantic Ocean forms its <br />eastern limits. Only on the north does the Town share a common land boundary with the county. <br />Land uses along this common boundary consist of single- and multiple -family residences in <br />planned residential developments. Because of the proximity of the ocean and the Indian River <br />Lagoon, the barrier island has become an area dominated by high value housing. <br />➢ Town of Orchid <br />The Town of Orchid is the other municipality located exclusively on the barrier island. At the <br />present time, land uses in the town consist of single-family lots, a golf course, a beach club, and <br />approximately 110 acres of wetlands along the Indian River Lagoon. Those wetlands are <br />protected under a conservation easement. Although the Town is unlikely to be developed at the <br />maximum allowable density, the town's approved master plan allows up to 425 residential units, <br />approximately 340 of which are planned to be single-family homes. The town's master plan also <br />calls for limited commercial development on ±7 and ±3 acre parcels located on CR 510 and SR <br />AIA, respectively. <br />Future Land Use Element 42 <br />
