SEP 8 1987 BOOK 69 FAGE285 <br />the proposed commercial development on the west side of Kings <br />Highway with the existing entrance to Ryanwood on the eastside of <br />Kings Highway. Currently, this node contains 160 acres with the <br />acreage broken down as follows: <br />1) <br />Winn-Dixie Shopping Center and adjacent <br />commercial uses west of 43rd Avenue <br />6.38 <br />acres <br />2) <br />Indian River Farms Drainage District <br />office and Mobil Service Station <br />.59 <br />acres <br />3) <br />Ed Schlitt Agency <br />.19 <br />acres <br />4) <br />First Union West Side Banking Facility <br />1.79 <br />acres <br />5) <br />Ryanwood Shopping Center <br />18.68 <br />acres <br />6) <br />Oak Terrace Restaurant Site <br />2.1 <br />acres <br />7) <br />Vacant Commercial property located east <br />of Kings Highway <br />70.81 <br />acres <br />8) <br />County water tower & City power <br />substation <br />1.53 <br />acres <br />9) <br />Florida National Bank <br />2.0 <br />acres <br />10) <br />Vacant Commercial property located west <br />of Kings Highway <br />55.94 <br />acres <br />Based on this acreage breakdown, there are 33.26 acres of land in <br />the node which are developed in commercial uses, and 126.75 acres <br />which could be developed for commercial use. The existing <br />commercial development represents approximately 21 percent of the <br />acreage of the node. In August of 1985, the existing commercial <br />development in the node accounted for 11.05 acres or 7 percent of <br />the acreage of the node. While there is still a large amount of <br />land in the node available for development, the percentage <br />devoted to commercial use has increased rapidly and is <br />anticipated to continue to increase as the State Road 60 corridor <br />continues to develop. <br />In analyzing the applicant' s•. desire to align their entranceway <br />with Ryanwood's entrance on Kings Highway, staff notes that it is <br />desirable to align such entranceways from a traffic circulation <br />standpoint and that the alternative is to have an entranceway to <br />the property on the westside of Kings Highway located closer to <br />State Road 60. Staff also notes that if the subject property is <br />included in the node and rezoned commercial there would be a ten <br />acre parcel of land left between the subject property and the <br />single-family subdivision to the north which could be developed <br />for multiple -family residences to create a land use buffer. <br />Transportation <br />The subject property has direct access to Kings Highway <br />(classified as an arterial street on the County's Thoroughfare <br />Plan). If developed with the property to the south, direct <br />access would also be available to State Road 60 (also classified <br />as an arterial street). Development of the subject property and <br />the adjoining 18 acre parcel of land for a shopping center could <br />generate up to 9,868 average annual daily trips (AADT). State <br />Road 60 currently carries approximately 14,000 AADT at <br />level -of -service "A". Kings Highway currently carries 5,100 AADT <br />at level -of -service "A". This additional traffic would not lower <br />the level -of -service on .State Road 60 or Kings Highway. <br />Moreover, Kings Highway is scheduled to be rebuilt as a four -lane <br />divided road with left turn lanes during 1987 which will improve <br />traffic conditions in this area. <br />24 <br />
