Properties to the north, <br />east, and west are also currently designated C/I. Land to the <br />south is designated M-1, Medium -Density Residential, on the future <br />land use map. The M-1 designation permits residential uses with a <br />density up to 8 units/acre. <br />Environment <br />Approximately 50% of the commercial subdivision has been previously <br />cleared of vegetation, with the remaining undeveloped lots <br />consisting largely of slash pines .and myrtle shrubs,- ._Although a <br />wetland survey has not been conducted, county environmental <br />planning staff have identified a small depressional area on the <br />north portion of the property; this depressional area may be a <br />Jurisdictional wetland of marginal quality. <br />Utilities and Services <br />The site is within the Urban Service Area of the county. <br />Wastewater lines extend to the site from the West County Wastewater <br />Plant.

These <br />are best illustrated by the respective purpose statements of each <br />of the two districts. These purpose statements are as follows: <br />• CH, Heavy Commercial District, is intended to provide areas <br />for establishments engaging in wholesale trade, major repair <br />services and restricted light manufacturing activities. The <br />CH district is further intended to provide support services <br />necessary for the development of commercial and industrial <br />uses allowed within other non-residential zoning districts. <br />• IL, Light Industrial District, is intended to provide <br />opportunities for limited manufacturing and industrial uses <br />and to promote the establishment of employment centers which <br />are accessible to urban services and facilities, the area <br />labor force, and local industrial and business markets while <br />minimizing the potential for any adverse impacts upon nearby <br />Properties. <br />In terms of permitted uses, the principal difference between the CH <br />and IL zoning districts is that most manufacturing uses that are <br />permitted within the IL zoning district (such as the manufacturing <br />of tobacco products, textile products, lumber -and .wood, furniture <br />and fixtures, rubber products, drugs and pharmaceuticalst footwear, <br />and electronic equipments are not allowed within the CH zoning <br />district.
