DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS <br />BOOK 5- wuE 1 <br />David Campbell, an agent for Raymond E. and Patricia Plasse, <br />the owners, is requesting to rezone .76 acres located 1000 feet <br />west of I-95, on the north side of State Road 60, from C-1, <br />Commercial District, to C-2, Heavy Commercial District. <br />The applicant has initiated this request in order to bring his <br />existing juice extraction business into conformance with the <br />zoning ordinance. <br />On October 10, 1984, the Board of County Commissioners amended <br />the Zoning Ordinance to allow juice extraction as a special <br />exception use in the C-2 zoning district. <br />On October 18, 1984, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted <br />4 -to -0 to recommend approval of this request. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS <br />In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the <br />application will be presented. The analysis will include a <br />description of the current and future_ land uses of the site and <br />surrounding areas, potential impacts on the transportation and <br />utility systems, and any significant adverse impacts on <br />environmental quality. <br />Existing Land Use Pattern <br />The subject property contains a juice extraction business. The <br />land north, east, and west of the subject property is <br />undeveloped, zoned C-1, and part of Vero Tropical Gardens, a <br />subdivision platted in 1960. Further north, are additional <br />lots in Vero Tropical Gardens which are undeveloped and zoned <br />A, Agricultural District. South of the subject property, <br />across State Road 60, is undeveloped land that is zoned C-1. <br />Further south and to the west is the New Hibiscus Airport that <br />is zoned A. <br />Future Land Use Pattern <br />The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and <br />all of the land around it as MD -1, Medium -Density Residential 1 <br />(up to 8 units/acre). In addition, there is a 300 acre <br />commercial/industrial node at the intersection of I-95 and <br />State Road 60. The subject property and the land immediately <br />south, east, and west of it are included in the node. <br />The staff anticipates that in the future additional land around <br />the subject property will be rezoned from C-1 to C-2 and that <br />additional land on the south side of State Road 60 will be <br />rezoned from C-1 to LM -1, Light Manufacturing District. <br />Transportation System <br />The subject property has direct access to State Road 60 <br />(classified as an arterial street on the Thoroughfare Plan). <br />The maximum development of the subject property for a juice <br />extraction business would attract approximately 41 average <br />annual daily trips. <br />Environment <br />The subject property is not environmentally sensitive nor is it <br />in a flood -prone area. <br />12 <br />
