r I MAY 7 19 TV BOOK ` Future Land Use Pattern The Indian River Aerodrome Subdivision is designated as L-1, Low - Density, on the county future land use map. This designation permits a variety of low-density residential zoning categories, up to 3 units/acre. The property north and east also share this land use designation. The property west is the Interstate 95 right-of- way; this right-of-way and lands further west have an AG land use designation. Vacant land lies adjacent to the south boundary of Unit •3, and the Oslo Road and 74th Avenue S.W. Commercial/ Industrial Node lies south along Oslo Road. The Air -1 District The AIR -1 District is a new district which was created by the new Land Development -Regulations. As adopted, the AIR -1 district is {consistent with the AG -1, AG -2, AG -3, R, and L-1 (with an existing ~airstrip) land use designations. iThe creation of the AIR -1 district came about when the Board of 'County Commissioners directed planning staff to create a zoning district which could accommodate airstrip communities in the .county. Prior to establishment of the AIR -1 district, none of the °county's zoning categories had ever addressed the issue of special '•setbacks for hangars. In developing the AIR -1 district, planning `staff researched problems that had occurred with the development of `the Aerodrome Subdivision. one -of the problems identified related .to setbacks. 'Aerodrome Units 1 and 2, zoned A-1, Agricultural District, and Unit 3, zoned RS -1, Single -Family Residential ''District, all of which have thirty (30) foot rear and twenty (20) foot side setbacks, provided constraints for hangar construction. L These setbacks did not provide sufficient room for aircraft hangars; consequently, property owners were required to apply for variances to required yard setbacks in order to construct hangars. After several variance requests, the Board of County Commissioners asked the planning staff to provide a better solution for this unique residential community. As a part of the new Land Development Regulations, the AIR -1 zoning district was created. The AIR -1 zoning district requires all development to follow the dimensional criteria as indicated in Chapter 911, Zoning, of the Land Development Regulations. Dimensional criteria are the minimum building standards applicable to a lot within a specific zoning district. Dimensional criteria include such standards as: minimum lot size, required yard setbacks, required minimum open space, and maximum buildable height. The AIR -1 zoning is unique because it provides different criteria, depending on the underlying land use designation of -the property. Since AIR -1 zoning is permitted in the AG-1,.AG-2, AG -3, R, and L-1 (with existing airstrip) land use designations, there are five separate sets of dimensional criteria. The specific set of dimensional criteria applicable to AIR -1 zoned property is dependent upon the underlying land use designation of the property. The Aerodrome development is located in the L-1 land use designation and would follow the AIR -1 criteria for property located in the L-1 land use, as indicated in Chapter 911, Zoning, of the Land Development Regulations. Environment The 'subject property and most of the Aerodrome development lie within a flood zone. The remainder of the Aerodrome development'is outside the flood zone as depicted by the Flood Insurance Rating Maps (FIRM). The Aerodrome development has not been designated as environmentally important or environmentally sensitive by the comprehensive plan. 26
