OCT 121933 55 Put`5.4. TO: The Honorable Members DATE: FILE: of the Board of County September 20, 1983 Commissioners DEPARTMENT HEAD CONCURRENCE: SUBJECT: Robert M. Keats g, K XP Planning & Zoning Manager COUNTY INITIATED REQUEST TO AMEND THE COMPREHEN- SIVE PLAN ON 118 ACRES FROM LD -2, LOW-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL 2, TO LD -1, LOW-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL 1 FROM Ri hard Shearer, AICP REFERENCES: 118 Acres Co. Principal Planner CLARE It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their special meeting of October 12, 1983. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The County has initiated a request to amend the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. This request is to redesignate approximately 118 acres within several parcels, all of which are County enclaves within the Town of Indian River Shores from LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (maximum of 6 units/acre), to LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (maximum of 3 units/acre). The purpose of this request for redesignation is to establish a land use designation for these County enclaves which is consistent with the land use designation and zoning of the land in the Town of Indian River Shores which surrounds these enclaves. On September 8, 1983, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the County enclaves within the Town of Indian River Shores which are west of a line 400 feet west of State Road A -1-A be redesignated from LD -2 to LD -1. Included with this was a recommendation that the County enclaves which are east of a line 400 feet west of State Road A -1-A retain their LD -2 land use designation. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the existing land use pattern will be presented as well as a discussion of the future land use as established in the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Existing Land Use Pattern The County enclaves within the Town of Indian River Shores are primarily vacant, devoted to groves or single-family residences. The enclaves have been divided into two types: the beach and duneland enclaves near- the ocean and the river enclaves near the Indian River. The beach and duneland enclaves are.composed of three parcels of land (two are contiguous). All of these parcels have the ocean as an eastern boundary. The two contiguous parcels, parcels 1 and 2 (see attachment #3)) are currently vacant, as is the land in the Town of Indian River Shores that surrounds them on three sides. The third parcel is the Forman property which was considered for rezoning earlier this year (see location map). This property is vacant with the exception of an abandoned single-family house in dilapidated condition. To the west of the property, across S.R. A -1-A, is the Park Shores condominium 54
