r JUL 2 5 1994 BOOK 57 FnP 180 DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Indian River County is initiating a request to rezone approximately 12.41 acres located on both sides of 97th Street (Ditch 14), west of Fellsmere and east of Park Lateral from C-1, Commercial District, to A, Agricultural District. This request is part of the administrative rezoning process to establish zoning districts throughout the County which are in conformance with the. Comprehensive Plan. On July 27, 1982, the Board of County Commissioners voted not to establish a neighborhood commercial node west of the City of Fellsmere in the general area of 97th Street and Park Lateral. On January 5, 1983, the Board of County Commissioners adopted County Ordinance #83-3 which rezoned 5.1 acres of land contiguous to the subject properties from C-1 to A, Agricultural District. On June 14, 1984, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4 -to -0 to recommend that the group of contiguous properties north of 97th Street and next to Park Lateral (Tracts 1464 and 1429A) be rezoned to A, Agricultural District. The Planning and Zoning Commission excluded the other land (Tracts 1531, 1530, and 1462) from their recommendation with the understanding that these parcels will be rezoned to the appropriate zoning district when the new zoning ordinance is adopted. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented. The analysis will include a description of the current and future land uses of the site and surrounding areas, potential impacts on the transportation and utility systems, and any significant adverse impacts on environmental quality. Existing Land Use Pattern The west part of the subject properties (at 97th Street and Park Lateral) contains a non -conforming single-family residence and vacant land. The east part of the subject properties (at 97th Street and the city limits) contains a non -conforming mobile home park and vacant land. This area is rural in nature with most of the land undeveloped. There are two houses and a barn located northwest of the mobile home park. All of the land in the County surrounding the subject property is zoned A, Agricultural District. Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject properties as RR -1, Rural Residential 1 (up to .4 units/acre). The land around the subject properties, between the Fellsmere City Limits and Park Lateral, is also designated as RR -1. The land west of Park Lateral is designated as AG, Agricultural (up to .2 units/acre). Rezoning the subject properties a consistent zoning pattern for zoning district consistent with to Agricultural would result in this area and would establish a the Comprehensive Plan. 12 M
