PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: Robert F. Lloyd, on behalf of the Indian River County School Board, has submitted an application for special exception approval (as well as a complete site plan application) for the Gifford Community Center. The Board of County Commissioners is to act upon the special exception approval.request. The proposed center, a community services use providing for adult community and civic activities and meetings, is a special excep- tion use within the single-family residential zoning district (RS -3) in which the facility is to be located. The project is located at the southwest corner of 49th Street (Lindsey Road) and 43rd Avenue. The County is currently in the process of paving 43rd Avenue from 45th Street to 49th Avenue, past the subject site and its proposed entrance on 43rd Avenue. At their regular meeting of November 12, 1987, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the Board grant the special exception use. The .Commission also voted unanimously to approve the site plan application subject to "the Board's approval of the special exception use. It is the Board's. responsibility to find that the proposal satisfies all general special exception use criteria (appropriate- ness of the use at the proposed location, compatibility with surrounding land uses, impacts on infrastructure and public facilities) prior to approval of the use. ANALYSIS: Special Exception Use There are no specific land use regulations within the zoning code to apply to this type of proposed use. Thus, the general special exception criteria are the only regulations that apply in the consideration of this request. It is staff's opinion that the request satisfies the general special exception use criteria as follows: 1. The use is appropriate for the subject site due to its location within the community to be served and its location at the intersection of two major roadways within the communi- ty, affording convenient access.
