DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 12.1 acres located south of Sunny Sands Subdivision on North A -1-A from R -1A, Single -Family Residential District, to R -2D, Multiple- _ Family District. The applicant proposes to construct a mixture of single and multiple -family housing complemented by recreational. amenities. On April 14, 1983, the Planning and Zoning Commission denied the applicant's request for the following reasons: (1) The property is an enclave surrounded by the Town of Indian River Shores, thus, the imput of the citizens of the surrounding community is an important factor and the residents appear to be overwhelmingly opposed as does the City who has jurisdiction of Planning and Zoning on the surrounding properties. (2) Single -Family residential is a reasonable and appropriate use of the land, and the existing 4.3 units per acre density serves as an intermediate buffer between the 8 units per acre density on the south side and the 2.4 units per acre density on the north side; (3) The barrier island is a unique and fragile area and should be protected from high intensity development when possi- ble.
