Loepergi` FROM: staff Planner, Long-RancR7Fat✓ES: COUNTY INITIATED REQUEST TO AMEND THE COMPREHEN- SIVE PLAN AND ZONE THE RIVER EDGE SUBDIVISION It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of March 15, 1988. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The County is initiating a request to establish a land use designation of LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2, (up to 6 units/acre), and to establish zoning of RS -6, Single -Family Residential District for the River Edge Subdivision located on Roseland Road approximately 1.5 miles southwest of U.S. 1 in Roseland. On May 29, 1987, the Legislature of the State of Florida passed a special act permitting the deannexation of the River Edge subdivision from the City of Sebastian, thereby placing it under the jurisdiction of Indian River County. Because this property does not currently have either a land use or. zoning designation, it is necessary for the Board of County Commissioners, based upon a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, to establish appropriate land use and zoning designations. On September 10, 1987, the Planning and Zoning Commission, by a vote of 5-0, recommended the establishment of a land use designation of LD -2, Low -Density 2 (allowing up to 6 units/acre) and zoning of RS -6, Single -Family Residential up to 6 units/acre for the River Edge Subdivision. On October 27, 1987, the Board of County Commissioners voted 4-0 to authorize staff to transmit the proposed land use amendment to the state for review. On January 13, 1988, the Planning Department received comments from the State of Florida Department of Community Affiars, pursuant to section 163.3184, Florida Statutes. There were no comments regarding this action. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the appli- cation will be presented. The analysis will include a descrip- tion of the current and future land uses of the site and sur- rounding areas, potential impacts on the transportation and utility systems, and any significant adverse impacts on environ- mental quality. Existing Land Use Pattern The subject property is subdivided into 49 lots. Substantial building has taken place in the subdivision, with only 7 vacant lots remaining. Upon buildout, the gross density will be less than 3 units per acre. There is also a tract of commonly owned land which is used as a community park and contains a dock. The area to the north and south of the subject property and west of Roseland Road is vacant land zoned RS -1, Single -Family MAR 15 1988 63 BOOK 11 F'ACE232
