r I DUH 1991 Specifically, DCA's objections were that the amendment was not consistent with the county plan's node expansion policy which requires a 70% level of node development prior to node expansion and that the amendment was not justified by the buffering justification referenced in the staff report transmitting the -proposed amendment request to DCA. In addition, DCA stated that the public facility demand analysis was inadequate because it failed to evaluate facility capacity based upon the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed land use designation, and it failed to reference adopted level of service standards. Existing Land Use Pattern The subject property is zoned RM -10, Multi -Family Residential District and currently contains single-family homes and undeveloped land. The property directly north of the subject property is also zoned RM -10, and contains a single-family home and undeveloped land. The property west of the subject property is zoned CG, General Commercial District, and contains a citrus packinghouse. Land to the south of the subject property is also zoned CG and contains a large commercial/retail center. Both the packinghouse to the west and the commercial center to the south are intense uses with significant truck traffic. The property -east of the subject property and across Indian River Boulevard is zoned RM -10 and contains multi -family residential dwelling units and undeveloped property. Future .band Use Pattern The subject property is designated M-2, Medium Density, on the County's future land use map. The M-2 designation permits residential densities up to 10 units per acre. The property north and east of the subject property is also designated M-2. Property to the south and west is designated part of the commercial/ Industrial Area, which permits commercial and industrial zoning designations. - Environment - The property is not designated as environmentally important or environmentally sensitive by the Comprehensive Plan, nor is it within a floodplain as identified by the Flood Insurance Rating Maps (FIRM). Utilities and Services The site is within the urban service area of the county, and county water lines extend to the site; however, sewer lines do not extend to the site. ti Transportation System The property abuts Indian River Boulevard to the east. Indian River Boulevard is classified as an urban principal arterial roadway on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map. This segment of Indian River Boulevard is a four lane divided paved road with approximately 150 feet of existing public road right-of-way.
