DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Melvin and Nathan Tanen, the owners, are requesting to rezone 45 acres, located one-eighth of a mile south of 14th Street and one-quarter mile east of 6th Avenue, from R-lA, Single -Family District (up to 4.3 units/acre), to R -2C, Multiple -Family District (up to 12.1 units/acre). The applicants intend to develop this property for multiple -family residences. On October 18, 1984, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4 -to -0 to recommend approval of this request. 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 thesite and surrounding areas, potential impacts on the transportation and utility systems, and any significant adverse impacts on _ environmental quality. Existing Land Use'Pattern The subject property and the lands north, east, and south of it are undeveloped and zoned R-lA. The land west of the subject property is zoned R-2, Multiple -Family District (up to 15 units/acre), and consists of undeveloped land and Tropic Villas North, a condominium development which is developed at a density of approximately 12 units/acre. Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates 43.77 acres of the subject property as MD -2, Medium -Density Residential 2 (up to 10 units/acre), and designates 2.1 acres of the subject property as Environmentally Sensitive (up to 1 unit/acre). Based on the land use designations of the subject property, the Comprehensive Plan allows up to 439 dwelling units to be developed on the subject property. The current zoning of the subject property is in conformance with the MD -2 land use designation. While the R -2C zoning district allows a maximum of 12.1 units/acre, which is not in conformance with the MD -2 land use designation, the applicants have submitted a letter stating that they will not exceed 10 units/acre as provided for in the Comprehensive Plan and that they are requesting the R -2C zoning district because the County does not have a zoning district which allows 10 units/acre. The R -2C zoning district, with a cap of 10 units/acre, is the most appropriate zoning for this site and would be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. Transportation System The applicants will donate 10.62 acres of land for right-of-way for Indian River Boulevard (classified as an arterial street on the Thoroughfare Plan) and for 12th Street (classified as a primary collector street). The maximum development of the subject property under the R -2C zoning would generate up to 2,678 average annual daily trips (AADT). The present R-lA zoning would allow development generating up to 1,552 AADT. 33 BOOK - 59* PAGE 33
