r JaN S 1983 sad FnF 544, TO: The Honorable Members DATE: December 8, 1982 FILE: ZC-82-10-004 of the Board of County Commissioners DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: ?aZtrick Bruce King, A CP FROM: Janice John Staff Planner SUBJECT: PAUL AUSTIN REQUEST TO REZONE 9.7 ACRE PARCEL APPROXIMATELY 1,290 FEET WEST OF 58TH AVENUE ON SR 60 FROM A, AGRICULTURE TO R -2D, MULTIPLE FAMILY. REFERENCES: It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting January 5th, 1983. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: On November 18, 1982, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously voted to recommend approval of the request to rezone approximately 9.7 acres from A, Agriculture (maximum one unit/5 acres) to R -2D, Multiple Family (maximum 6 units/acre.). The subject property is located approximately 1,200 feet west of Kings Highway on SR 60. The parcel has 185 foot frontage on SR 60 and extends northward from SR 60 approximately 1,802 feet. The applicant proposes to construct a group of duplexes and triplexes on the site. The proposed development contains 50 units with average density of 5.3 units per acre. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: Environment. The subject property contains no environmentally sensitive areas. Land Use: The northern section of the subject property is adjacent to Riviera Estates, a single family subdivision with a platted density of 3.9 units per acre. The southern end of the southern subject property fronts on SR 60. The subject property is located directly west of an area which is anticipated to be included -in the SR 60/ Kings Highway commercial node. The proposed land use will provide an intermediate land use between a commercial area on the east and single family residential develop- ment to the west. Utilities. The applicant proposes to utilize individual well and septic systems. Traffic. The traffic generated by the proposed development is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the capacity of SR 60. Good planning practices prohibit connecting internal road systems in the subject property with -the existing road system in Riviera Estates. RECOMMENDATION: The land use configuration of the subject property allows ingress and egress onto SR 60 with the future road frontage. Multi -family residential development is not intrinsically incompatible with single family residential development. In addition, multi -family development will require site plan review under Section 23 of the Indian River County Zoning Ordinance. The density requirements of the requested R -2D, Multiple Family District allow a compatible level of develop- ment with adjacent properties, therefore staff recommends approval. M
