Residential District, allowing 1 unit/acre, while property to the north of the subdivision, and east of Roseland Road is vacant land zoned RS -3, Single -Family. Property to the east which is within the City of Sebastian is zoned industrial. Because the average lot size is 8,000 square feet, staff feels the RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre) zoning is necessary to avoid future complications. A less intense designation would create nonconforming lots, which could impose hardship if any structure were ever destroyed. Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates the land north and south, which is west of Roseland Road as RR -1, Rural Residential (allowing up to 1 unit/acre). The land to the north, and east of Roseland Road, is designated LD -1, Low -Density 1, (allowing up to 3 units/acre). Property to the east within the City of Sebastian has an industrial land use designation. Transportation System The subdivision is accessible to Roseland Road which is designated a primary collector road on the County Thoroughfare Plan. Environment The subject property is on the Sebastian River; however, because of modifications made when the subdivision was developed, the area is no longer environmentally sensitive as defined by County criteria. The subdivision, however, is in three flood zone areas. Beginning at Roseland Road and proceeding towards the Sebastian River for approximately 500 feet is zone C. The remaining 1/3 of the subdivision is in zones A and B, the "A" zone being within the 100 year flood plain, and subject to occasional flooding. Utilities The River Edge utility system which was operating in a state of disrepair when this action was initiated, has been taken over by the County Utilities Department. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, staff recommends that the Comprehensive Plan be amended designating a land use 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. The Chairman asked if anyone wished to be heard. There were none, and he thereupon declared the public hearing on the rezoning closed. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED by Commis- sioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved staff recommendation to amend the Comprehensive Plan by 64 BOOK 71 F'' :: 2:33 MAR 15 1988
