DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Indian River County is requesting to rezone 102 acres, located south of Roseland Road, west of the Indian River, north of Sebastian, and east of U.S.1, from C-1, Commercial District, R-3, Multiple Dwelling District (up to 15 units/acre), R-2, Multiple -Family District (up to 15 units/acre), R -2B, Multiple -Family District (up to 8.1 units/acre), R-1PM, Permanent Mobile Home Subdivision (up to 8.7 units/acre), R-1, Single -Family District (up to 6.2 units/acre), and R -1A, Single -Family District (up to 4.3 units/acre), to RM -4, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 4 units/acre). All but 2.5 acres of the subject property are zoned C-1, R-3, R -2B, or R-2'. This request is -part of the administrative rezoning process to establish zoning districts consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. On October 11, 1984, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on a request to rezone this area to R -2B, but tabled action pending further analysis of this area and information about how the City of Sebastian treats similar areas in the City. On December 13, 1984, the Planning and Zoning Commission denied a County -initiated request to rezone 98 acres, including all but 4 acres of the subject property, from six zoning districts to R -2B. The Commission gave as their reason for denial that they felt the 8 units/acre allowed by the R -2B zoning was a density too high for this area because it is in a flood -prone area, is adjacent to the Indian River, and is not served by County water and wastewater facilities. On February 6, 1985, the Board of County Commissioners approved the McManus request to rezone a quarter acre parcel in this area from C-1 to R-1. However, the Board commented on the large number of zoning districts in this area and the district boundaries. 36 APR 101985 BOOK 60 F GE 467
