NOV 18 1991 <br />TO: The Honorable Members of the <br />Board of County Comunissioners <br />FROM: Neil A. Nelsot, <br />9 <br />County Administrator <br />DATE: October 9, 1981 <br />an, 48 PAU <br />FILE: <br />SUBJECT: Ralph L. Evans, Trustee <br />Rezoning <br />REFERENCES: <br />It -is recommended that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by <br />the Board of County Commissioners in the form of a public hearing on November 18, <br />1981. <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The applicant is requesting that 13.98 acres of land currently zoned C-1, Commercial <br />be rezoned to LM -1, Light Manufacturing. The site is located on the west side of <br />90th Avenue, approximately .3 mile south of State Road 60. Adjacent property to the <br />north, south and east of the site is vacant, wooded and is zoned C-1, Commercial, <br />and Interstate 95 right-of-way abuts the western property line. Nearby land uses <br />include Lakewood Village Mobile Home Park to the south, and the Gracewood Fruit <br />Company packing house and offices to the southeast. A Union 76 Truck -Stop is cur- <br />rently in operation on the southeast corner of State Road 60 and 90th Avenue, and <br />several gasoline service stations which front State Road 60 lie to the west of 90th <br />Avenue. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />A) Approve the rezoning of the 13.98 acre site from C-1 Commercial to LM -1 Light <br />Manufacturing. <br />The Indian River County zoning provisions for LM -1, Light Manufacturing Districts <br />allow clean and generally non-offensive uses including: the manufacture of products <br />from metals, plastic, cloth,- ood and other similar materials; printing;pattern <br />making; and electroplating. All such operations must be conducted within the <br />buildings located on the site. No visible -smoke from the burning of fuels is per- <br />mitted and noise, odor and dust are not allowed beyond the plant site. Due to <br />these provisions, the currently existing packing house and other future commercial <br />uses which may occur in the area should not experience negative impacts from this <br />Light Manufacturing District. The proximity of the site to two major transportation <br />corridors and a truck stop, and the compatibility of light manufacturing with the <br />heavier commercial uses which currently exist in the area, make it an appropriate <br />location for light manufacturing. <br />B) Deny the rezoning request, leaving the site zoned C-1, Commercial. <br />The site is surrounded by a large commercial zoning district �ghich appears to be <br />adequate for future commercial uses that may locate in the area. The nature of <br />the LM -1, Light Manufacturing zone is not likely to inhibit this future commercial <br />development. <br />Recommendation <br />The Planning staff recognizes that LM -1, Light Manufacturing is an appropriate use <br />for the site and recommends approval of the rezoning request. The Planning and <br />Zoning Commission unanimously approved this recommendation in the Public Hearing of <br />October 8, 1981. <br />
