1g9®BOOK NAI -18' Mr. Nyquist explained that his 14 acre parcel is currently zoned IL for the first 300' off Old Dixie, and the balance is RM -6. The proposed Land Use change would designate it L-2 whereby the whole parcel would be residential. He is here today to ask for some relief from that designation. The south boundary of his property has existing warehousing, with Old Dixie to the east, the FEC railroad, and heavy commercial zoned property, and he would like to maintain some type of buffering between the residential and heavy commercial. When he purchased this property in 1983, the entire acreage was zoned Industrial, and in 1985, the use was changed and it was zoned to keep a 300' strip of IL along Old Dixie to buffer the residential from the heavy commercial. Mr. Nyquist believed there is very little property fronting on Old Dixie that has no type of industrial or commercial use. Commissioner Bird asked why we are indicating a change on this property, and Director Keating believed the Chamber of Commerce noted that industrial isn't too good along this corri- dor. Also, we have major problems with the roadway up here. This is one of those issues we have talked about for years; staff took a closer look; and this is one of the few cases where we have eliminated some commercial in the Plan. Actually, it is not too good no matter which way you go. In further discussion, it was noted that this parcel is in a county enclave almost in the middle of Sebastian. Mr. Nyquist stressed that it is right on the railroad tracks and is not really desirable for residential. Commissioner Bird asked if we couldn't leave the 300' IL adjacent to the railroad and Old Dixie, and then have the resi- dential to the west. Director Keating noted that essentially is the way we have it now with the MXD and then the way it is zoned. Issues were brought up before that this isn't the best way to have industrial uses, and staff made the recommendation to eliminate the IL. 80
