Existing Land Use Pattern <br />The subject property is currently undeveloped. East and <br />northeast of the subject property is the existing Breezy <br />Village Mobile Home Subdivision. North of the subject property <br />is undeveloped land zoned A, Agricultural District. Further <br />north is a mobile home park in an R-1MP, Mobile Home Park <br />District (up to 8.7 units/acre). West of the subject property <br />is a single-family subdivision in the City of Sebastian. South <br />of the subject property is vacant land in the City of Sebastian. <br />East of this vacant Land is a sand mining operation. South of <br />the mining operation is a proposed mobile home planned unit ` <br />development in the City of Sebastian. <br />Future Land Use Pattern <br />The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and the <br />land north and east of it as LD -2, Low -Density Residential -2 <br />(up to 6 units/acre). Further east is the U.S.1 Mixed Use <br />District corridor. The land south and west of the subject <br />property is in the City of Sebastian. The City of Sebastian <br />was informed of this proposal in writing but -submitted no <br />comments. In order to guide the future development of the <br />subject property, the Planning Department prepared three <br />alternatives. <br />Alternative #1: Retaining the LD -2 Land Use Designation <br />The subject property could be left in the LD -2 land use <br />designation. After rezoning, the property could be developed <br />as a single-family subdivision. However, conditions have <br />changed somewhat since the Comprehensive Plan was adopted. A <br />major mobile home planned unit development has been approved <br />for a site south of the subject property. In addition, this <br />site may have been overlooked when the general land use plan <br />was prepared for the entire County because there are mobile <br />home parks and mobile home subdivisions in this area. <br />Alternative #2:. Changing the Land Use Designation to MXD, <br />Mixed -Use District (up to 6 units/acre).. <br />A second alternative is to redesignate the subject property as <br />MXD. The MXD designation allows mobile home developments. <br />However, the MXD designation is designed for areas that have a <br />mixture of land uses, where development or redevelopment is <br />encouraged to be consistent with the predominant land use of <br />the area. Since the subject property is undeveloped, the MXD <br />designation does not seem to be appropriate. In addition, <br />designating the subject .property MXD would be a spot designation. <br />This could be alleviated by redesignating additional property <br />to MXD to connect the subject property with the U.S.1 MXD <br />Corridor which is east of the subject property. <br />Alternative #3: Changing the Laxed Use Designation to MD -1, <br />Medium -Density Residential 1 (up to 8 units/ <br />acre) . <br />Another alternative is to redesignate the subject property to <br />MD -1. The MD -1 designation allows mobile home developments and <br />other residential developments at a density up to 8 units/acre. <br />The existing R-1PM zoning of the subject property requires a <br />minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet. This zoning district <br />would allow a maximum of 8.7 units/acre. However, the actual <br />net number of units per acre would probably be in the 5 -to -6 <br />units per acre range, because roads and other amenities will <br />utilize some of the land in the subdivision. The M5-1 land use <br />designation, therefore, would provide for a density consistent <br />with the existing Breezy Village Subdivision to the east and <br />allow a mobile home development consistent with the general <br />24 <br />MAY 2 3 1984 BOOK 57 FACE 142 <br />
