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 single-family dwelling, a fruit <br />stand, and an old citrus grove. North of the subject property, <br />across State Road 60, is undeveloped land zoned C-1. East of <br />the subject property is an undeveloped parcel of land zoned <br />C-1, Commercial District. South of the subject property is <br />undeveloped land zoned Agricultural. West of this property is <br />Mueller Center of Indian River Community College.
