MAR 2 7 1985 Future Land Use Pattern Snoke Request Page 2 March 18, 1985 The Comprehensive Plan designates the land northeast and southwest Residential 2 (up to 1 unit/acre) subject property is designated as 1 (up to 3 units/acre). BOOK60 P',F31 the subject property and of it as RR -2, Rural The land southeast of the LD -1, Low -Density Residential Redesignating the subject property to LD -2 would allow it to be developed at a much higher density than the land around it and would represent a spot land use designation. The subject property should not be redesignated as LD -2 unless all of the Roseland area designated as RR -2 and LD -1 is also redesignated as LD -2. However, it would not be unreasonable to redesignate the subject property to LD -1. The land on the southeast side of Roseland Road is designated as LD -1 and has characteristics similar to the subject property. Redesignating the subject ' property as LD -1 would be a natural extension of the LD -1 land use designation. Transportation System The subject property has direct access to Roseland Road. (classified as a Primary Collector street on the Thoroughfare Plan). The maximum development of the subject property under the LD -2 land use designation would generate up to 384 average annual daily trips (AADT). If the property was designated LD -1, it would allow development generating up to 192 AADT. The current RR -2 designation would allow development generating up to 60 AADT. Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive on the land use map. Moveover, the subject property does not meet the Comprehensive Plan's general criteria for environmentally sensitive land because it does not contain productive wetlands nor mangroves. However, it is adjacent to the Sebastian River, and the first 100 feet of the property from the river is in an A7 flood hazard zone, indicating an area within the 100 year flood plain. Utilities County water and wastewater facilities are not available for the subject property. RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to deny the applicants' original request to redesignate the subject property as LD -2 for the reasons cited in the description and conditions section of this memorandum. While conditions have not changed in this area since the Comprehensive Plan was adopted, the Planning Department does feel that this property may logically be designated as LD -1. The justification supporting a redesignation to LD -1 includes designation of surrounding land as LD -1, lack of environmental sensitivity of the subject property; and proximity of property to existing higher density development and the City of Sebastian. For these reasons, staff recommends that the subject property be redesignated as LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (up to 3 units/acre). 43
