OCT 17 194 BOOK 58 PHcI 665 Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and the land north, south, and east of it as MD -1, Medium -Density Residential 1 (up to 8 units/acre). The Comprehensive Plan also designates a 300 acre commercial/industrial node at the intersection of I-95 and S.R.60. The land west of the subject property can be included in the node. However, the subject property is east of the commercial uses concentrated around the I-95 and S.R.60 intersection and should be rezoned consistent with the MD -1 land use designation. The B-1 zoning district requires front yard setbacks of 75 feet and side and rear yard setbacks of 15 feet each. When these - setbacks are applied to the 50' x 100' lots in Paradise Park, it leaves a buildable area of 10' x 20' or 200 square feet. The small buildable area of these lots, combined with the fact that most of these lots do not have frontage on Highway 60, makes the lots unsuitable for commercial development allowed under the B-1 zoning. The R -2D zoning district is consistent with the MD -1 land use designation and would allow property owners to develop their land for single or multiple -family housing. Currently, there are a number of parcels of land in the State Road 60 corridor which are zoned R -2D. The R -2D district seems to be the most appropriate zoning district for this area based on the MD -1 land use designation and the fact that several other properties along State Road 60 have been rezoned to R -2D in the last two years. Based on the Board of County Commissioners' instructions to prepare an alternate rezoning proposal for this area, the staff has prepared a zoning configuration that would leave the south eight lots of each block in Paradise Park zoned B-1. The area of Paradise Park originally proposed for rezoning from B-1 to R -2D includes twelve single-family houses. This revised proposal would leave three of them zoned B-1 and they would retain their status as nonconforming uses. In addition, the north 300 feet of each of the properties on the south side of State Road 60 would retain B-1 zoning. This would leave 14.5 acres of the original rezoning request zoned B-1 and would necessitate a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to increase the size of the I-95 and State Road 60 node by 14.5 acres. This proposal would promote strip commercial development along State Road 60 which is contrary to the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. Transportation System Some of the subject property has direct access to S.R.60 (classified as an arterial street on the Thoroughfare Plan). The remaining parts of the subject property have access to local roads which feed into S.R.60. The maximum development of the subject property under R -2D zoning would generate 5,250 average annual daily trips (AADT). Under the current B-1 zoning, the maximum development of the subject property could attract up to 40,494 AADT. This amount of traffic is approximately double the capacity of State Road 60 and is more than four times the current 9,500 AADT. Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area. 30
