SEXTON GROVES INC. REQUEST <br />TO REZONE 142 ACRES FROM A - <br />SUBJECT: AGRICULTURAL TO R -2A, MULTI- <br />FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (4 UNITS/ <br />ACRE) AND 3 ACRES FROM A-, <br />AGRICULTURE TO C -1A, RESTRICTED <br />COMMERCIAL <br />FROM: David L. Greene REFERENCES: <br />Assistant County Administrator <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: <br />The applicant is requesting that 142 acres presently zoned <br />for Agriculture be rezoned to R -2A, Multi -Family Residential <br />(4 units/acre) and that 3 acres also agriculturally zoned <br />be changed to C-lA, Restricted -Commercial. The 145 acre <br />site located at the northwest cornet of State Road 60 and <br />66th Avenue is designated LD -2 (up to 6 units/acre) in the <br />Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning <br />and Zoning Commission in its regular meeting held on March <br />24,^ 1982 unanimously recommended approval of this request. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />The site, located approximately 2 miles west of Vero Beach <br />City Limits, lies on the fringe of existing urban development. <br />Approximately 60 acr6s (41 percent) of the site is currently <br />in citrus production and 10 acres (7 percent) are devoted to <br />truck crops. The remaining 75 acres (52 percent) is undeveloped <br />scrubland which was, at one time, occupied by groves. <br />Development of the site at 4 units/acre would allow a maximum <br />of 568 units. The LD -2 land use designation provides for <br />residential densities of a suburban nature not exceeding <br />six (6).units per acre in single or cluster residences which <br />may include Multi -Family residences. Performance standards <br />for low density residential development are established in <br />the Comprehensive Plan. These standards outline development <br />and location criteria and design considerations (see Compre- <br />hensive Plan, Page 9). <br />TRAFFIC IMPACTS: <br />1. <br />Existing situation at the <br />intersection <br />of State <br />Road 60 <br />and 66th Avenue: <br />Avg.
