Page 3 February 14, 1989 Future Land Use Pattern The subject parcel and all lands located east and south are designated by the Comprehensive Plan as MD -1, Medium -Density Residential 1 (allowing up to 8 units per acre). Land to the west, across U.S. 1, is designated MXD, Mixed Use. The lands to the north are designated as LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (allowing up to 3 units per acre). Also to the north is the Storm Grove Road/U.S. 1 Commercial Node. The node is currently designated at 10 acres. Transportation System U.S. Highway 1 forms the western boundary of the subject parcel. This highway is classified as a principal arterial on the County Thoroughfare Plan and is a four lane divided highway in this area. U.S. 1 is currently operating at a Level of Service (LOS) "A" along the segment adjacent to this site. Fifty-third Street which forms the southern limits of the subject parcel has two roadway classifications. That portion east of U.S. 1 (which is adjacent to the site) to the proposed Indian River Boulevard is classified as a principal arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan; however, it is currently a two lane road. West of U.S. 1, 53rd Street is classified as a minor arterial. At the present time the road only extends westward to Old Dixie Highway. The County Thoroughfare Plan also identifies the northern extension of Indian River Boulevard, a principal arterial, extending north and terminating at 53rd Street just east of the U.S. 1 intersection. This new roadway is designed to be a four lane divided roadway and is expected to provide an alternative -to U.S. 1. Environment This property is not designated as environmentally sensitive by the County Comprehensive Plan, nor is it prone to flooding. There are, however, several man-made lakes with marginal littoral areas on the site. Utilities Currently, public water and wastewater are not available at the subject site. However, water and wastewater facilities are located within a reasonable distance from the site. The nearest county water lines are located at the U.S. 1 entrance to Grand Harbor, approximately 3/4 of a mile south of the subject property. Water lines are expected to be expanded along the Indian River Boulevard extension. The nearest county sewer lines are also located at the Grand Harbor U.S. 1 entrance. Expansion of these lines the 3/4 mile to the subject site would require a force main and lift station. Analysis The subject parcel is the proposed site for a regional shopping facility. Because of the scope of such a facility, DRI review has been conducted simultaneously with the land use and rezoning amendment analysis. As such, the DRI Application for Development Approval (ADA) and the staff review of the application address the potential impact of the proposed project as well as site issues and required improvements. 11 'E'B 28 1989 L BOOK .76 FACE 231
