Gifford Neighborhood Plan 2014 - Non-Conforming Uses A non-conforming use is a use which was lawful prior to the adoption, revision, or amendment of land development regulations, but which would be prohibited or further restricted under the terms of current land development regulations. In Gifford, mobile homes located in single-family or multiple-family zoning districts constitute the majority of residential non-conforming uses. Non-residential non-conforming uses exist along 43rd Street as well as sporadically throughout Gifford. As shown in Figure 3, the area just west of U.S. Highway 1, along 43rd Street, is zoned CL, Limited Commercial District. Although several bottle clubs operate in that area of Gifford, such establishments are not permitted in the CL zoning district. Demographics The information in this section is derived from the 1990, 2000 and 2010 Census. Most of the Census demographic information is available only at the Census Tract level. Bounded by Old Dixie Highway on the east, 58th Avenue on the west, 41St Street on the south, and the North Relief Canal on the north, Census Tract 503.02 has a geographic area that covers most of the Gifford Neighborhood Plan Area. Consequently, the data for this census tract were used to represent the plan area. Table 2 below identifies the basic demographic make-up of the Gifford Neighborhood Plan Area (Census Tract 503.02) compared to Indian River County as a whole. While the 2010 census population for Tract 503.02 was 5,354, using Census block level data, the actual Gifford plan area population was calculated as 5,815 in 2010.
