Although the project site is currently zoned RS -6, Single Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre), the applicant has initiated a request to rezone the site from RS -6 to RM -4, as the RS -6 zoning district does not permit beach clubs. The staff has recommended approval of the rezoning request. The site is located 1i miles south of the intersection of C.R. 510 and A -1-A on the east side of A -1-A within a County enclave surrounded on three sides by the -Town of Indian River Shores. The proposed project contains a 2,564 sq. ft. restaurant, pool, cabanas, and a dune crossover for beach access. The site will also utilize a 5 foot high fence along the site's frontage on A -1-A. Pursuant to Section 25.3 of the Zoning Code, Regulation of Special Exception Uses, the Planning and Zoning Commission is to consider the appropriateness of the requested use based on the submitted site plan and the suitability of the site for that use.,. The Commission then concurrently makes a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners regarding the special exception use and acts on the submitted site plan. The Board of County Commis- sioners then takes final action on the request based on the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning commission and staff's recommendation. The County may attach any conditions and safe- guards necessary to assure compatibility of the use- with the surrounding area. On January 8, 1987 the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended 3-2 that the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed use while concurrently approving the site plan with conditions. At this same meeting the Planning and Zoning Commission also voted 5-0 to approve the rezoning. The. -conditions -of site plan approval are as follows: 1.
