This property is zoned RM -3, Multi -Family Residential (up to 3 units per acre) along the east side of the U.S. 1 right-of-way and RS -3, Single -Family Residential (up to 3 units per acre) further east.

West of the subject property, across U.S. 1, is undeveloped property which is zoned IL, Light Industrial. 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. 17
