Page 4 February 19, 1990 Future Land Use Pattern The Future Land Use Map in the newly adopted comprehensive plan designates property west of 58th Avenue between 16th Street and 26th Street as M-1, Medium -Density Residential. The M-1, designation permits residential densities up to 8 units/acre. This plan also designates a 160 acre commercial node at S.R. 60 and 58th Avenue. This node encompasses the 4 corners of the intersection and extends along the south side of S.R. 60 east to 43rd Avenue. A few properties along the north side of S.R. 60 near 43rd Avenue are also included in the node. (see Land Use Map) Transportation System S.R. 60 forms the southern boundary of the project. This roadway is classified as a principal arterial in the Traffic Circulation Element of the Comprehensive Plan and is a four lane divided highway west of 58th Avenue. East of this intersection, S.R. 60 is a 6 lane divided road. At the present time the level of service on SR 60 is B. The widening of this road to 6 lanes from 58th Avenue to 82nd Avenue is included in the plan as a recommended improvement by the year 2010. Sixty-sixth Avenue, which forms the western boundary of the property, is classified as a minor arterial. This road is presently a paved two lane road north of S.R. 60. This roadway becomes Schumann Drive and connects with U.S. #1 in Sebastian. South of S.R. 60, 66th Avenue is an unpaved road. Additional right-of-way for the segment between 53rd Street and 12th Street is identified as needed by 1992. East of -the property, 58th Avenue is classified as a principal arterial and is a two lane paved roadway from 9th Street S.W. (Oslo Road) to CR 510, south of Sebastian. The Traffic Circulation Element of the draft comprehensive plan recommends this roadway for widening to 4 lanes from 12th Street to 33rd Street by 2010. Twenty-sixth Street, along the north of the property, is classified as a collector. This two lane dirt road is not identified in the plan for improvements; however, the existing right-of-way is identified as being deficient. An additional 50 feet of right-of-way is estimated as needed by 1995. The Traffic Circulation Element includes normal intersection improvements along with other scheduled improvements; however, the plan does identify intersection improvements at 58th Avenue and S.R. 60. Project related improvements such as turn lanes and other traffic operations improvements are being addressed as part of the DRI. Environment The subject property does not contain "environmentally important" uplands (coastal hammock or xeric scrub), as designated by the Conservation Element of the revised Comprehensive Plan: Moreover, the property does not fall within a 100 year flood zone. There are, however, several environmental issues. The northeast portion of the area proposed for rezoning contains an environmentally sensitive wetland system. This area encompasses approximately 26.5 acres of the 156 acre site. There are also several examples of specimen and endangered vegetation on the subject property, including the recognized "champion tree" Simpson Stopper cluster; and a cabbage palm hammock which supports an endangered fern colony. These areas are generally shown on the accompanying map. 43 FEB 2'`
