APPENDIX A - MIXED USE POLICY 5.6 <br />Policy 5.6: By 2011, Indian River County shall adopt development regulations allowing mixed use <br />PDs in residentially -designated areas. All mixed use PDs in residentially designated areas shall <br />meet all of the following criteria: <br />Development Parameters <br />1. The maximum project area for a mixed use PD in a residential area shall be 40 acres <br />unless the property is located within the SR 60/IRSC preferred location area. The SR <br />60/IRSC preferred location area is an area adjacent to the SR 60/58th Avenue <br />Commercial/Industrial Node, the SR 60/66th Avenue intersection, and the Indian River <br />State College campus. In the SR 60/IRSC preferred location area, the maximum mixed <br />use PD project area shall be 80 acres. Mixed use projects not located in the SR 60/IRSC <br />preferred location area exceeding 40 acres shall be designed as Traditional <br />Neighborhood Design (TND) developments and shall comply with Future Land Use <br />Element Policies 18.1, 18.2, and 18.3. <br />2. Mixed use PDs shall be limited to areas designated L-1, L-2, M-1, and M-2 and shall <br />be located along SR 60, US 1, Indian River Blvd., 58th Avenue, CR 510 (west of the <br />Indian River Lagoon), CR 512, or Oslo Road. Alternatively, mixed use PDs in M-1 and <br />M-2 designated areas may be located on sites that are adjacent to C/I nodes. <br />Mix of Uses <br />3. To ensure that mixed use PDs contain an appropriate mix of residential and commercial <br />uses, commercial uses shall be allowed to constitute no more than 25% (up to 50% in <br />the SR 60/IRSC preferred location area, not to exceed a total of 30 acres of commercial <br />area) of a project's land area. <br />4. The vertical mixing of uses is allowed and strongly encouraged. Where residential <br />and/or office uses are designed and located above commercial uses, the amount of <br />commercial area may constitute up to 30% (up to 60% in the SR 60/IRSC preferred <br />location area, not to exceed a total of 30 acres of commercial area) of the project's land <br />area. <br />5. For purposes of these mixed use regulations, commercial area shall include buildings, <br />parking areas, and adjacent improvements that serve commercial uses. Open space <br />areas and common areas/improvements that are shared with residential uses, however, <br />shall not be treated as commercial area. <br />6. Commercial uses allowed in mixed-use PDs shall be limited to lodging, institutional, <br />office, retail (including fuel sales), personal service, and restaurant uses, and <br />live/work/commercial flex space. <br />7. Within mixed use PDs, the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for commercial uses shall be <br />applied to the commercial area. For the commercial area, the maximum FAR shall be <br />0.35. <br />Revision date: January 30, 2017 <br />
