is I-95. Further east is undeveloped mobile home park. South of the subject land and citrus groves Zoned A. West is undeveloped land zoned LM -1 and Hibiscus Airport zoned A. Future Land Use Pattern land zoned C-1 and a property is undeveloped of the subject property citrus groves and the The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and all of the land around it as MD -1, Medium -Density Residential 1 (up to 8 units/acre). In addition, there is a 300 acre commer- cial/industrial node at the intersection of I-95 and State Road 60. The proposed rezoning to R -2D (allowing up to 6 units/acre) is consistent with the MD -1 land use designation (which allows up to 8 units/acre). However, this rezoning needs to be analyzed relative to the surrounding zoning and land uses. The LM -1 zoning of the property to the north and west of the subject property allows manufacturing uses that might not be compatible with multiple -family residences. This incompatibility could be alleviated at the site plan level by providing a vegetative buffer adjacent to the industrial property. The fact that the Hibiscus Airport is near the subject property raises questions about safety and noise that could potentially affect residential development of the subject property. The Aviation Bureau of the Florida Department of Transportation was contacted in regard to potential noise or safety problems. While the aviation bureau feels that residential development and airports are basically incompatible, they felt that the distance of the subject property from the airport was adequate for safety purposes and felt that the noise impacts could be alleviated by providing a heavy vegetative buffer at the northwest corner of the subject property nearest the runway (see letters enclosed). Transportation System The subject property does not have direct access to a public road. Indirect access is available to State Road 60 (clas- sified as an arterial street on the Thoroughfare Plan). The developers would be required to provide adequate access prior to development. The maximum development of the subject proper- ty would generate 7,632 average annual daily trips. State Road 60 can handle this additional traffic although considerable improvements may be necessary to provide turn lanes and decel- eration lanes. Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area. The subject proper- ty is located on the 10 mile ridge. Utilities County water and wastewater facilities are not currently available for the subject property. 25 DEC 51984 aDOX 59 UCE 1103 1�
