Reserve at Vero supplements the amount of commercial acreage in the node and provides benefits of a mixed use project which include appropriately located and designed multi -family residential, infrastructure improvements that benefit the flow of residential and commercial traffic, and alternatives to SR60 access. The existing Mixed Use Policy 5.6 of the Future Land Use Element will allow a mixture of residential and commercial uses at the southeast and southwest corners of SR60 and 66`I' Avenue but at a limited scale (40 acres maximum) and without guarantees of shared infrastructure that will integrate the project with the IRSC expanding campus. Currently, property at the southeast and southwest corners of SR60 and 66' Avenue are under control of a single owner and are adjacent to the ±140 acre IRSC Mueller Campus which includes 90+ acres of yet -to -be -developed campus area. Through a mixed use PD "area master plan" approach, there is a unique opportunity to accommodate and integrate residential, commercial, and institutional (college) uses. Such an approach will require property reconfiguration to properly and logically consolidate owner/developer property and IRSC campus property and to ensure properly located major infrastructure improvements including shared access roads to SR60 and 66' Avenue, a bridge over the Lateral A canal, and a traffic signal at 66th Avenue and "18th Street" (see attachment #6). In order to properly master plan and integrate uses on the east and west sides of 66`h Avenue, the current mixed use project size limit needs to be increased to allow for an 80 acre maximum PD project area. Other changes to Policy 5.6 are needed to guarantee and incentivize construction of shared infrastructure improvements and to add flexibility for the timing of commercial building and residential unit construction. These changes will increase the portion of commercial area allowed within the project and will allow the timing and pace of commercial and residential "vertical development" (buildings) to vary. To address these issues, staff has coordinated with IRSC staff and the adjacent land owner and his project engineer, and drafted proposed changes to the mixed use policy (see attachment #4).
