, the areas in the AG -1 land use designation having an A-1 zoning district. - The New Urban Service Area (USA) Boundary In addition to the density change in the agricultural portion of the county, the Board of County Commissioners adopted changes to the Urban Service Area (USA) boundary. These boundary changes had the effect of excluding from the USA active agricultural lands and certain areas which do not have access to urban services. These areas east of I-95 and excluded from the USA have an AG -1 land use designation and a corresponding 1 unit/5 acre density. The USA boundary modification occurred in two principal locations within the county: the central and southern areas. Within the central portion of the county, the USA boundary was modified in the area between CR 510 and 33rd Street. Specifically, the USA boundary was moved east from 74th Avenue to 66th Avenue, except for the area between 81st Street (approximately) and 49th Street, where the boundary moved to a line parallel to and approximately } mile east of 66th Avenue. As a result of this change, densities in these areas were reduced from 1 unit/acre and 3 units/acre to 1 unit/5 acres. The proposed zoning is A-1, Agricultural - 1 District (up to l.unit/5 acres). In the south portion of the county, the USA boundary was modified in the area from 16th Street to the south county line, generally from 82nd Avenue to 58th Avenue and 43rd Avenue. This resulted in a density reduction from 1 unit/acre to 1 unit/5 acres on most parts of this area; however, some areas were reduced from 1 unit per 21 acres, I units/acre and 6 units/acre to 1 unit/5 acres. The proposed zoning is A-11 Agricultural - 1 District.(up to 1 unit/5 acres). Besides the USA boundary change density reductions, several areas within the USA were assigned land use designations with lower densities as a result of stipulated settlement agreement changes. These are: 0 The area south of Sebastian and north of C.R. 510. The density in this area was reduced from 3 units/acre to 1 unit/acre. The proposed zoning is RS -1, Single -Family Residential District (up to 1 unit/acre). G The area from 66th Avenue to } mile east of 66th Avenue from 49th Street to 33rd Street. The density of this area was reduced from 6 units/acre to 3 units/acre. The proposed zoning is RS -31 Single -Family Residential District (up to 3 units/acre). - The Commercial/Industrial Node Boundaries In adopting its Future Land Use Map, the county established boundaries for all of the commercial/industrial nodes located throughout the county. Prior to plan adoption, commercial/ industrial boundaries in many areas extended out from thoroughfare roads a distance of approximately three.hundred (300) feet. As a result, node boundaries tended to follow the directional pattern of roads without regard to lot lines. While this method provided a clear line of land use delineation, it resulted in other problems. One problem is that individual lots and parcels with split zoning designations are not as likely to develop unless the configuration permits the reasonable development of the property. The new Future Land Use Map resolved those problems by establishing commercial/industrial boundaries along streets and lot lines. Because many parcels that were split by node boundary lines.also had split zoning and because the current land use map either totally excludes the parcel from or includes the parcel in the 6
