APR 2 0 198 F AD 53 FAcF � Commercial development within the limited commercial district shall generally be restricted to any uses permitted in the commercial/office district as well as the following uses: neighborhood convenience stores; small limited item shops and stores restricted to retail sales of convenience items and services including barber, beauty care, and other personal services; small scale drug stores; laundry and dry cleaning pick-up stations; specialty shops; and motels or other living accommodations for transient residents generally residing on a seasonal basis. Areas'designated for limited commercial development are not intended to accommodate large scale retail sales, service, and trade activities, generally serving a county -wide or regional market. Such stores would usually differ from limited commercial shops since the former would usually require a larger floor area, carry a relatively larger inventory, and require a substantially greater parking area. Uses, which are not intended to be accommodated within the limited commercial area include the following: large scale discount stores; health spas; supermarkets; department stores; full service hardware stores; wholesale and warehousing activities; general appliance shops; printing shops; sales, service or repair of motor vehicles, machine equipment or accessory parts, including tire and battery shops; gas and automotive service centers; commercial amusements; fast food establishments primarily serving in disposable containers and/or providing drive-in facilities, and other similar services to be expressly defined in the Zoning Ordinance." It is the County staff's position that the issuance of the waiver for lots -55 and 56 from R-1, Single -Family Residential, to C-1, Limited Commercial, would promote the extension and proliferation of strip commercial development along U.S. Highway #1 at the northern corporate limits of the City of Sebastian. In accordance with the County's Comprehensive Plan, as the Roseland Commercial Node expands around the intersection of Roseland Road and U.S. Highway #1, the residential land use area along U.S. Highway #1 could be reduced to as little as 1600 feet between the two commercial areas, if this waiver is approved. This action may require the County to re-evaluate the demand for retail commercial activity at the Roseland Commercial Node. RECOMMENDATION Based upon the above analysis, staff recommends that the County Commission not grant a waiver of zoning on lots 55 and 56 of Wauregan Subdivision. M M
