FROM: Principal Planner REFERENCES: WORKB It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of November 16, 1983. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The applicant, August D. Hodges, President of Indian River Lumber Company, Inc., is requesting to rezone approximately 7.8 acres located on the west side of U.S."Highway Irl and north of 95th Street from C-1, Commercial District, to C-2, Heavy Commercial District. The applicant proposes to expand the lumberyard located on this site. Since lumberyards are not a permitted use in the C-1 districts, the existing lumberyard is currently a non -conforming use and cannot be enlarged or expanded. The C-2 district allows lumberyards and would permit the expansion of the existing facility. On October 13, 1983, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4 -to -0 to recommend approval of this request. 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 Comprehen- sive Plan. Existing Land Use Pattern The eastern part of the subject property has been developed as a lumberyard. The western part of the property is currently vacant. The Bell Telephone Wabasso Service Operations Center is directly south.of the subject property, and single-family residences are located south of the operations center. The subject property abuts the F.E.C. railroad to the west. West of the railroad tracks is vacant land. The land directly north of this site is vacant. North of the vacant land is a mobile home park. The subject property has U.S. Highway #1 as its eastern boundary. East of U.S. #1 is Pelican Point, a new residential development under construction in an R -2D, Multiple -Family District.
