Note: The proposed rezoning/conceptual PD plan meets or exceeds applicable land development regulations and provides special setbacks, buffers, open spaces, and aesthetic improvements to ensure compatibility internally and externally. Those project design elements are guaranteed via the binding conceptual PD plan and proposed PDMXD zoning. Land Use Policy 5.3: Indian River County zoning districts shall permit a variety of residential building and development styles. Note: The proposed rezoning/PD conceptual plan provides for an appropriate type of residential buildings and housing within the project that will be conveniently integrated with an adjacent commercial uses. Land Use Policy 5.5: Indian River County LDRs shall contain a special Planned Development (PD) zoning district. That district shall be designated as an overlay on the County Zoning Atlas. The PD zoning district is intended to provide for the development of projects which require flexibility in order to maximize open space and conserve natural features, provide alternative designs, incorporate recreational facilities, and incorporate a mix of uses. Note: The proposed PDMXD zoning implements this policy by proposing a mixture of uses within an integrated design that provides an alternative to conventional, separate, single use projects. Land Use Policy 9.3: Indian River County shall maintain plans along roads that serve as entranceways to the county and along other roads, as determined by the county. The county shall continue to implement the recommendations of the Other Corridor Plan and the SR 60 Corridor Plan. Note: The entire development, including residential portions of the project as well as the commercial component, implements improvements and architectural design guidelines consistent with the SR 60 Corridor Plan. Policy 5.7: PDs shall be permitted throughout the county, without amendment of the future land use map, provided the proposed development is shown to be consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. PDs shall be consistent with the maximum density permitted by the future land use map unless density bonuses are permitted consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 5.8. Note: The proposed PD is consistent with the maximum density for M-1 designated property and is consistent with Comprehensive Plan mixed use policies. Compatibility with Surrounding Areas The parcels immediately east, west, north across SR 60, and south across College Lane are all developed. Therefore, the subject project site is an infill parcel. As an infill mixed use project, the layout and project design provide a transition from the more intense commercial uses to the north and east to the residential and institutional uses to the west and south of the project site. The conceptual PD plan design locates 3 commercial parcels on the north side of the site, along the site's SR 60 frontage. Those commercial parcels have a north/south depth of approximately 300' with the remaining overall site depth (approximately 980') to the south devoted to multi -family residential uses.
