North of the park land is single <br />family residential development. <br />South is one of the General Development Corporation's utility <br />sites. <br />East is a large wooded parcel not owned by General Development <br />Corporation. <br />West is the Vero Highlands Recreation Center and Tennis Courts. <br />New single family homes are being developed to the Southwest. <br />Multi -Family development of the site at 6 units/acre would <br />allow a maximum of 259 units which would be subject to site <br />plan approval. In a Single Family development on 7000 sq. ft. <br />lots, which is the minimum allowed in R-1 zoning districts, <br />between 200 and 215 units could be developed. <br />General Development Corporation developed a Master Land Use <br />Plan for Vero Highlands/Vero Shores in November --of 1979. <br />This plan designates approximately one-half of,the subject <br />property as Medium Density 5-15 units/acre and the remaining <br />portion as Commercial.

The plan is designed to allow the County and <br />citizens to be aware of General Development Corporation's <br />intentions. The plan was also filed with the State Depart- <br />ment of Environmental Regulation. <br />L <br />
