MAY 7 NOOK: P,1,E Impacts on Surrounding Uses and Consistency with Comprehensive Plan The proposed rezoning represents a negligible increase in density, and compatibility is not a major concern for this property. The applicant intends to develop the properties north and east of the parcel as multiple -family dwellings and plans to use the park tract as part of the development. The development to the west and south .of the property is likely to be general commercial. Since multi- family developments undergo either site plan or PRD review, specific buffering would be addressed at that time. A"'review of this rezoning with the future land use map and policies, as well as the policies of the other plan elements, does -not reveal any inconsistency. Policy 1.14 of the Future Land Use :Element allows multiple -family development at.10 units/acre in -Medium-Density Residential areas. The rezoning would further the .housing element objectives of providing a diversity of housing :types and densities. In addition to.a review of compatibility with surrounding uses and consistency with the comprehensive plan, environmental impacts of .the proposed change are also reviewed. There are no significant impacts on environmental quality for this -property. Conclusion subject property is located in a land use area designated for Multiple -Family Residential development. With its designation as a park tract, it is evident that the property was never intended to !be located within the U.S. #1 (Vero Beach to South Relief Canal) -Commercial corridor. Further evidence of this is indicated by the parcel size. Since the parcel is less than 5,500 square feet in size, it could not effectively be developed commercially. The owner of the park parcel is also the owner of Sunshine Quality Homes Subdivision, Unit II. It is the owner's intent to combine the properties and develop multiple -family housing. A zoning designation of RM -10 would facilitate this type of development and reflect the land use designation of M-2. Thus the proposed change in zoning would be consistent with county policies and existing land uses. Recommendation Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request to rezone the subject j property to RM -10. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, he closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously adopted Ordinance 91-15 amending the Zoning Ordinance and accompanying zoning map from CG to RM -10 for the property located east of U.S. 1 and North of 14th Street and described herein. 34
