t _I TO: The Honorable Members of the DATE: November 9, 1981 FILE: IRC-8I-ZC-19 Board of County Commissioners SUBJECT: Doyle W. Cotton, Jr. Rezoning FROM: Neil A. Nelson, REFERENCES: County Administr for Itis recommended that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the County Commission in the form of a public hearing as advertised by Pubic Notice for November 18, 1981. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS The applicant is requesting that the C-lA Restricted Commercial zoning on 1.04 acres of land be changed to R -2C Multi -Family Residential. The site is located on Lot 125 in The Moorings, Unit Two. Other than an approximately Z acre Indian River County owned lot directly north of the subject property, multi -family dwelling units surround the site. These developments include: North Passage, which has 21 units at 12.19 units/acre, to the north; West Passage, which has 31 units at 11.75 units/ acre, to the south; and Harbour Side, which has 112 units at 14.9 units per acre, to the east. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS A) Approve the rezoning of the 1.04 acres from C-lA to R -2C Multi -Family (12.1 units/ acre). This would allow for the development of a maximum of 12 units on the site. While lower densities are desired throughout the county, it should be recognized that the subject property is surrounded by higher density developments. It also should be pointed out that the overall development scheme within The Moorings is approximately 2.19 units/acre (see attachment). The current C -1A Restricted Com- mercial zoning is not appropriate for the site for several reasons: location, surrounding land uses and potential adverse impact on surrounding property values. B) Deny the request for rezoning, leaving the property as C-lA Restricted Commercial. This zoning allows for various types of commercial uses, many of which could be im- compatible with the surrounding area. • Recommendation A. That the 1.04 acre parcel be rezo.ned.from C -1A to R -2C Multi -Family Residential (12:1 units per acre). The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved the recommendation at the public hearing of September 24, 1981. B. That the ordinance effecting the rezoning be adopted.
