NOV 17 1989 <br />`�' BOOK <br />Realcor <br />November 16, 1982 <br />Page 2 <br />P,GE <br />As stated above, the subject property is located in the southwest <br />quadrant of the intersection of I-95 and State Road 60. This <br />intersection is the central core of the I-95/State Road 60 Com- <br />mercial/Industrial Node. This node was one of the largest nodes <br />identified in the Indian River County Comprehensive Plan. It <br />presently contains a mix of general commercial and highway com- <br />mercial uses, as well as restricted and light industrial uses. <br />This commercial/industrial core is surrounded by single-family <br />residential and mobile home development. Attachment A contains <br />a map illustrating the boundary of the I-95 and State Road 60 <br />Commercial/Industrial Node and its surrounding residential <br />development. <br />The node concept is a very important and integral part of the <br />County's Comprehensive Plan. The basic reasoning for the node <br />concept is to concentrate commercial and industrial land uses <br />within small areas whereby their development and growth can be <br />most efficiently planned and controlled. Through this effort, <br />it is anticipated that strip commercial development can be <br />minimized along the County's arterial street system. <br />II. Land Use <br />Within this section dealing with land use, the historical de- <br />velopment pattern for the I-95 and State Road 60 Commercial/ <br />Industrial Node and its surrounding residential development <br />will be examined. In addition, the existing land use for this <br />area along with the existing transportation facilities will be <br />analyzed. This section also contains a presentation of land <br />use principles by which the location of various land uses is <br />determined. Finally, a future land use map and analysis is <br />presented for this node. It is the intent of this section to <br />present logical and rational reasoning for establishing the fact <br />that the southwest quadrant of the intersection of Interstate 95 <br />and State Road 60 is best suited for industrial development and <br />not mobile homes. <br />Historical Development Pattern <br />The primary historic pattern of development in the vicinity of <br />the subject property has centered around three land use types: <br />1) Highway/Heavy Commercial; <br />2) Mobile Home Residential; <br />3) Light Industrial. <br />Two land use types, the Highway/Heavy Commercial and Light <br />Industrial, located in the area as the result of the transportation <br />access afforded by the I-95/State Road 60 interchange. The third <br />land use type, Mobile Home Residential, located in the area due <br />to the availability of large, affordable tractq of land. The <br />following description of the historic development patterns <br />provides a more detailed time frame by which all existing land <br />uses occurred in the area. <br />1) Single Family Residential: <br />Three single family subdivisions, Greenbrier, Vero Tropical <br />Gardens and Paradise Park, were platted between 1956 and <br />1960. Three other subdivisions, Wildwood, Westgate, and <br />Westside Villas, were platted between 1974 and 1978. The <br />general pattern of development for single familv subdivisions <br />has been on land situated on the north side of State Road 60. <br />Scattered single family homes have been established on an <br />incremental basis over the years. <br />
