118 Acres Co. September 20, 1983 Page 2 development (multiple -family residential at 6.units/acre). Directly to the south of the property is the Island Shores Club condominium development (multiple -family residential at 8 units/acre). Directly to the north of the property is Sunny Sands Subdivision, a single-family residential development (2.56 units/acre). The river enclaves are also predominantly vacant. Parcel 3 contains a grove; the land surrounding it is vacant. Parcels 6 & 7 and the land around them are vacant. Parcel 8 contains a grove and vacant land, and it is surrounded by vacant land. Parcel 9 contains a single-family house. South of parcel 9 is a large tract of land containing two large single-family homes and a large amount of vacant land. Parcel 11 contains a single-family house. Parcel 10 contains a single-family house and groves. Parcel 12 and the land east of it are vacant. Parcels 13-22 are part of a single-family subdivision. Parcels 13, 17, and 19 contain single-family houses. The other parcels are vacant. Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates all of the enclaves as LD -2, Low -Density Residential (maximum of 6 units/acre). The Town of Indian River Shore's Comprehensive Plan contains three residential land use designations (see attachment #4). These designations are Moderate -Density Residential, Low -Density Residential, and Very Low -Density Residential (for environmentally sensitive lands). The designations are implemented through the Town's zoning ordinance which contains three residential zoning districts. These districts and their densities are: R -1A, Single -Family Residential District (maximum of 2.9 units/acre); R -2A, Multiple -Family Residential District (maximum of 6 units/acre); and R -2B Multiple -Family, Hotels and Motels. The beach and duneland enclaves are generally surrounded on three sides by the Town's Moderate -Density Residential land use designation and R -2A zoning district (maximum of 6 units/acre). The exception tothis is the land north of the Forman property which has a Low -Density Residential land use designation. The river enclaves are surrounded on three sides by the Town's Low -Density Residential and Very Low -Density Residential land use designations and R-lA zoning district (maximum of 2.9 units/acre). The Low -Density Residential designation covers the land near the center of the island, and the Very Low -Density Residential designation is assigned to the land along the river. Good planning principles dictate that the County enclaves surrounded by the Town of Indian River Shores have land use designations consistent with those of the surrounding areas. The Intergovernmental Coordination Element of the County's Comprehensive Plan indicates that the County must coordinate its land use planning activities with the municipalities in the County. Based on the Town's land use designations for the properties surrounding the enclaves and the existing land use pattern, the river enclaves should be redesignated LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (maximum of 3 units/acre), and the beach and duneland enclaves should keep their current land use designation of LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (maximum of 6 units/acre). one problem with redesignating the river enclaves LD -1 is that the existing single-family subdivision would have to be rezoned 55 55 Fd�* OCT 12 1983 I
