I subject property is part of the U.S. Highway # 1 MXD, Mixed -Use Corridor (up to 6 units/acre) The MXD District contains a broad mixture of land uses. Permitted uses in this district include residential development, commercial and industrial uses. The Compre- hensive Plan states: "The County shall encourage, where appropriate, redevelopment in accordance with the dominant land use and the health, safety, and welfare of the area residents." The RM -4 zoning is in conformance with the LD -2 and MXD land use designations, and is consistent with the RM -4 zoning northwest of the subject property which allows up to four (4) units per acre. More- over, the proposed rezoning would establish one zoning classification for the subject property, instead of six. Transportation System The subject property has secondary access to Old Dixie Highway (clas- sified as a secondary collector street on the Thoroughfare Plan). One railroad crossing, located 1,000 feet north of the proposed extension for Storm Grove Road provides access to the property. The maximum development of the subject property under RM -4 zoning could attract up to 5,359 average annual daily trips (AADT). The existing traffic count for this section of Old Dixie Highway is 1,100 vehicles per day, which is level -of -service "A". The proposed development will decrease the level -of -service to "B", which is well above the recommended level -of -service "C" in the Comprehensive.Plan. Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area. However, the sand ridge runs through the property. It is the staff's opinion that development, which may result from the proposed zoning; will have less impact on the aquifer and on aquifer recharge than development which may be allowed by the existing zoning. TT+ -i I i - 4,M a Neither County sewer nor water is available to the subject property. However, a water line which could be extended to service the subject property exists at 49th Street. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis,including the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion's recommendation, staff recommends approval. Commissioner Bowman's only question was why they would vacate Pecan Road, and Director Keating believed this would be discussed when the Board considers their application for Conceptual Special Exception approval, which is the next item. Robert Briggs, agent for Vero Sand Pines, stated that he was available to answer any questions, and informed the Board that he did concur with staff. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. There were none. 31 CT 2X985 �roK '62 *E 39, I
