Gifford Neighborhood Plan Existing Conditions <br /> Figure 2: Distribution of Existing Land Uses <br /> ❑Agricultural ❑Commercial ❑Government ❑Industrial ❑Institutional <br /> ❑Residential ❑Vacant Land <br /> In terms of area, residential is the largest existing land use category in Gifford. While some uses are clustered in specific areas of <br /> Gifford, residential uses can be found throughout the plan area. There are, however, differences in single-family residential property <br /> characteristics among the geographic sub-areas in Gifford. For example, the single-family residential properties located east of 43`d <br /> Avenue are much smaller in size, and therefore more densely developed, than the single-family residential properties located west of <br /> 43`d Avenue. In fact, development of residential subdivisions in East Gifford has generally been at a density of 4 to 7 units/acre, <br /> higher than most parts of the county. In contrast, most residential subdivisions in West and Central Gifford have been developed at a <br /> density of 2 to 3 units/acre,the same as most other county subdivisions. <br /> Existing commercial uses in Gifford are concentrated in two places. One of those places is along U.S. Highway One. Commercial <br /> establishments located on U.S. Highway One include general retail businesses and service related businesses that draw customers <br /> from the entire county. The other place where commercial uses in Gifford are concentrated is along 45th Street and a portion of 43`d <br /> Street, near U.S. Highway One. Establishments located within the 45th Street/43`d Street district primarily serve the residents of the <br /> Gifford area. Those neighborhood establishments include restaurants, lounges, bars, and convenience stores. <br /> Community Development Department Indian River County 7 <br />
