The subject property was annexed by the <br />pursuant to ordinance #0-81-19 which was <br />1981. The proposed use for the two lots <br />and professional offices. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS <br />Land Use Analysis <br />City of Sebastian <br />adopted on October 12, <br />is for retail stores <br />In this section, an analysis of the existing land use <br />pattern will be presented as well as a discussion of the <br />future land use as established in the Indian River County <br />Comprehensive Plan and the City of Sebastian Comprehensive <br />Plan. <br />Existing Land Use Pattern <br />The subject parcels and the surrounding lands are currently <br />vacant and undeveloped. To the north on U.S. Highway #1 is <br />the Shady Rest Mobile Home Park. To the south of these <br />parcels is the Sebastian Cemetery. To the east on U.S. <br />Highway #1 is the office of Dr. Barry Gordon. To the west <br />of the parcels is the Florida East Coast Railroad. <br />Future Land Use <br />The Indian River County Comprehensive Plan designates the <br />area abutting the annexed properties as MD -1, Medium Density <br />Residential (maximum of eight units per acre). To the north <br />at the intersection of U.S. Highway #1 and Roseland Road, <br />approximately 3600 feet from the two parcels, is a 70 acre <br />hospital/general commercial node. Given the distance <br />between the node and the two parcels, future commercial uses in <br />the unincorporated area are not expected to abut the annexed <br />properties. To do so would encourage strip commercial <br />development of the entire area. <br />The City of Sebastian's Comprehensive Plan was adopted prior <br />to the annexation. Recently, the City Planning and Zoning <br />Commission approved an amendment to the plan which would <br />designate the annexed area including Lots 55 and 56 as <br />"Limited Commercial". Limited Commercial is defined by the <br />City's plan as: <br />"Limited commercial development is allocated to commercial <br />sites accessible to major thoroughfares near residential <br />neighborhoods. Sites within this designation are intended <br />to accommodate shops with limited inventory or goods as <br />well as transient lodging facilities meeting performance <br />standards of.the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Code. <br />This designation is not intended to accommodate residential <br />development. Duly approved residential uses existing at <br />the effective date of the Comprehensive Plan shall be <br />deemed permitted uses. In addition, such shops cater to <br />the following markets: <br />1) Neighborhood residential markets within the immediate <br />vicinity as opposed to county -wide or regional markets, <br />2) a specialized market with customized market demands, or <br />3) a tourist oriented market in the immediate vicinity. <br />67 <br />'APR 2 0 1983 ?acf 295 <br />
