Page 14 <br />February 19, 1990 <br />is the downgrading of property which has "enjoyed" a commercial <br />land use designation and zoning. The last of the three options <br />would provide the additional commercial acreage required for the <br />mall and allow the development of property which is already <br />designated commercial. This option would also have the advantage <br />of providing multiple uses in the area and at the same time <br />breaking -up the linear pattern of the node. <br />CONCLUSION <br />It has been demonstrated that regional malls are special land uses <br />which have minimum size requirements and highly developed <br />infrastructure needs. Because of these criteria, staff <br />acknowledges the need to redesignate land to accommodate a <br />regional mall. At the same time, it has been clearly shown that <br />there presently exists an oversupply of commercially designated <br />land in the county which will make orderly growth difficult to <br />achieve in the future. The subject site meets the criteria for <br />designation of a mall site. The location is within an urban <br />service area and is capable of being served by three major <br />roadways which with improvements will serve the transportation <br />needs of the facility. The location is also in close proximity to <br />the population centers of the county. There exists several <br />environmental constraints; however, their location and magnitude, <br />are such that they can enhance the open space amenities and <br />stormwater needs of the facility.as well as provide buffers for <br />surrounding development.' Based on this analysis, staff proposes <br />that the request be reduced to 130 acres by removing the 26 acre <br />wetland and upland habitat area at the northeast corner of the <br />property. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the analysis, including the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission's recommendation, staff recommends that the Board of <br />County Commissioners: <br />FEB 2 1990 <br />Authorize the staff to transmit amendments to the <br />Comprehensive Plan to the Florida Department of <br />Community Affiars which: <br />enlarge the SR 60/Kings Highway Node to 290 acres <br />by including the 130 acre site in the node; <br />amend the Traffic Circulation Element by revising <br />tables 4.7.2 and 4.7.3; and <br />amend the Capital Improvements Element by revising <br />tables 13.18 and 13.23. <br />Announce their intention to hold a second public hearing <br />concerning this matter; this public hearing to be held <br />concurrent with or subsequent to the DRI development <br />order public hearing for the Indian River Mall project. <br />Incorporate within the Indian River Mall Development <br />Order provisions which prohibit the development of <br />peripheral commercial development prior to the regional <br />mall facility development and provisions which permit <br />the county sufficient time to change the property's land <br />use plan designation if the mall is not constructed. <br />53 <br />EOOK l9 F'AGEO1 <br />
