MAR 2 0 1981 I BOOK 6 0 `', - 2.34 land north and east of the subject property is designated as MD -2; the land to the west is in the U.S.1 Commercial Corridor; and the land to the south was redesignated as commercial in 1983. The proposed rezoning of the part of the subject property east of the proposed Indian River Boulevard from R-2 and R-1TM to RM -10 is in conformance with the MD -2 land use designation. The rezoning from C-1 to RM -10 is not generally in conformance with the plan because this property is designated as commercial on the Plan. Moreover, the proposed rezoning from R-2 to C-1 is not in conformance with the MD -2 land use designation. ----------------- --However, this property is in a- unique situation because of - - several factors. First, the proposed alignment of the Indian ,River Boulevard right-of-way will create arterial roadways on two sides of the parcel, three sides if its U.S.#1 frontage is considered. Second, the property is in an area characterized and planned for nonresidential uses. Finally, the County is requesting that this property owner donate approximately five acres of land for this right-of-way. There is a provision in the Comprehensive Plan that states: "Certain parcels of land which do not conform to the policies for nodal development, but can be demon- strated to be suitable for commercial or industrial development and otherwise meet the performance standards in this element, may receive consideration by the Board of County Commissioners for commercial or industrial zoning classification." Based on the location of the subject property between U.S.1 and the extension of Indian River Boulevard, this provision of the Plan should be used. Transportation System The subject property has access to U.S. Highway 1 and will have access to Indian River. Boulevard when it is extended (both roads are classified as arterial streets on the Thoroughfare Plan). The maximum development of the subject property under the proposed C-1 and RM -10 zoning would generate approximately 360 average annual daily trips (AADT) and attract up to 3,783 AADT. This additional traffic could increase the amount of traffic on U.S.1 to the upper limit of Level -of -Service "C". However, the construction of Indian..River.Boulevard would significantly lessen the traffic impact on U.S.1. Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive. However, most of the subject property is in a flood -prone area. This area has a designation of A10 on the Flood Insurance Rate Map, which indicates an area subject to 100 year floods. Utilities County water is available for the subject property. County wastewater facilities are not available. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, particularly the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, and the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, staff recommends anoroval_ 58
