SEP 15 1992 <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: (Continued) <br />of the total housing units in the State of Florida!' <br />51 e <br />The mobile home parks within the MD -1, Medium Density area <br />are located east of I-95. The MD -1 area contains approximately <br />3,360 acres. Zoning districts allowing mobile home development <br />accounts for 22.6% of the total and are located east of 1,95, <br />The -C-1., Commercial district contains 10.4% and M71, Light <br />'Industrial has 4.1% of the total. (,See attachment. -#l.) There <br />are 120 acres of the M-1 district located west of -1-95. Thus <br />the prevailing use,,the zoning and the Comprehensive Land Use <br />Plan support and encourage a development pattern which con- <br />gregates the commercial/industrial uses around the I-95/SR #60 <br />interchange. The residential uses are located to the east of <br />I-95 with the majority of mobile home development along SR #60. <br />The existing land use pattern around the interchange includes <br />the location of light manufacturing west of I-95 (Ramp Masters <br />and F. C. Morency). East of the interchange highway commercial <br />uses are the primary use along SR #60. The development of <br />light industrial or manufacturing uses is compatible with <br />the existing pattern,dlong SR #60 and I-95 Interchange. Fuither, <br />the subject property is'designated for commercial and industrial <br />uses; it will relieve development pressure on existing residen- <br />tial, retail/commercial areas and road systems in the eastern <br />section of the County. Utilizing this area as a Commercial/ <br />Industrial node and maintaining a compatible land use mix of <br />the area conforms to good, long-range planning principles as <br />well as meeting the performance standards outlined in the <br />Land Use Element. <br />Although not a central consideration in evaluating this rezon- <br />ing request, industrial and manufacturing development does <br />create employment. It may be -assumed, based on the limitations <br />of the zoning districts, and the definition of the I-95/SR #60 <br />Industrial/Commercial Node, that "export" or basic industry <br />would locate in this area. That type of industry has the highest <br />"urban multiplier". The.following table shows the multipliers <br />for Indian River County's four largest industries by Standard <br />Industrial Catagory (SIC). <br />Industry Catagory <br />Employment <br />Income <br />r'` Sales <br />(Export)- <br />Multiplier <br />Multiplier <br />Multiplier._ <br />Canned, frozen food <br />3.15 <br />2.32 <br />1.15 <br />products. <br />Printing <br />1.66 <br />1.62 <br />1.33 <br />Glass, stone <br />1.75 <br />1.61 <br />1.17 <br />cement products <br />Fabricated metals <br />1.63 <br />1.54 <br />1.02 <br />x Dr. Jim Goggins - University of Flroida, Institute of <br />Agriculture and Industry. <br />The multiplier represents the number of interrelated.jobs for <br />each industry. For every 3.15 employees in the canned, frozen <br />food industry, one works in the basic, export industry and 2.15 <br />employees work in related or service industries. Thus,for each <br />export job created in that catagory, another 2.15 jobs will be <br />needed to support the "export" industry. <br />_ - 81-A <br />
