Future Land Use Pattern BOOK 63 PAGE 155 The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as part of the U.S. #1 Mixed Use Corridor (up to 6 units/acre) and part of the South Winter Beach Road Industrial Node. The property located east of the subject property is designated as part of the U.S. #A Mixed Use Corridor (up to 6 units/acre). The property located to the west of the subject property is designated as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 units/acre). The South Winter Beach Road Industrial Node extends south from the subject property for a distance of one-half mile. The MXD, Mixed -Use District, of which the subject property is a part, is adjacent to the east side of the industrial node and runs for a depth of 300 feet west of the F.E.C. Railroad right-of-way. The proposed rezoning is in conformance with the MXD and Indus- trial node land use designations and is consistent with the Winter. - - Beach Small Area Plan. Transportation Svstem The subject property has primary access to South Winter Beach Road (classified as a Secondary Collector on the Thoroughfare Plan). Both U.S. #1 (classified as an Arterial) and Old Dixie Highway (classified as a Secondary Collector) could also be impacted due to development of this site into an industrial park. The maximum development that could occur with the proposed IL zoning would generate 1,892 average annual daily trips. This extra traffic which would be produced would not lower the current lev- el -of -service "A" which exists on South Winter Beach Road, U.S. #1, and Old Dixie Highway. Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensi- tive nor is it in a flood -prone area. The subject property is, however, located on the sand ridge, a primary aquifer recharge area. Utilities The subject property is not presently served by County water or sewer facilities. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve this rezoning request. Commissioner Bowman wished to know just what Light Industrial entails because she was concerned about hazardous waste on the sand ridge. Richard Shearer, Chief of Long -Range Planning, explained that the Light Industrial district allows some commercial uses including warehouses, storage and light manufacturing and assembly type operations. Probably the most intensive use would be something along the line of the construction of wood trusses. 22
