Subsequent to the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, staff coordinated with the applicants to resolve the access issue. As a result, the applicants amended their rezoning request to omit the five lots that have frontage on only 44th Avenue (see Attachments 2 and 4). With that action, access is no longer an issue. Since the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing, action has also been taken to resolve one other issue. That was the issue of the minimum lot size requirement of the PRO district. According to PRO district regulations, the minimum lot size for non-residential uses for parcels zoned PRO is 10,000 square feet. Because most of the individual lots comprising the subject property were smaller than that minimum, those lots would be non -conforming if rezoned PRO and used for non-residential purposes. To address this problem, the applicants unified several of the remaining lots. These unifications were accomplished:` by combining lot 8 with lot 9, combining lot 10 with lot 11, and combining lot 12 with the adjacent parcel to the south. Attachment 6 depicts the lots that were combined. As a result of these unifications, each lot that comprises the subject property is at least 10,000 square feet in size and conforms with PRO district regulations. Consequently, lot size is no longer an issue. Since the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing, the total number of lots comprising the subject property has been reduced from thirteen to five. This was a result of eliminating the five lots with frontage only on 44th Avenue and unifying several of the remaining lots. Therefore, the subject property now totals approximately 2.6 acres and consists of five lots. The subject property is graphically depicted on Attachment 4. Existing Land Use Pattern The subject property and property to the west are zoned RS -3, Single -Family Residential District. Of the five lots comprising the subject property, one is vacant, while the other four are developed with five single-family homes. The five lots that were removed from the subject property are currently vacant. To the west of the subject property, across 44th Avenue, there are two lots. The northern lot is approximately 3.66 acres and consists of vacant, uncleared land. The southern lot is approximately one acre in size and contains a single-family home. The land to the south of the subject property is zoned RS -2, Single -Family Residential District. This property is a 4.36 acre parcel containing a church. To the north of the subject property, the land is zoned CG, General Commercial District, and developed with an animal hospital and a convenience plaza. Since 43rd Avenue is the boundary between the city of Vero Beach and unincorporated Indian River County, the property to the east of the subject property, across 43rd Avenue, is within the Vero Beach city limits. This property is zoned RM -10, Medium Density Multiple -Family District, on the city's zoning map, and consists of one- and two-story professional and medical office buildings. Under the city's land development regulations, these offices are non -conforming uses in the residentially zoned area. The City of Vero Beach is presently considering action to rezone this area to POI, Professional Office and Institutional District. With POI zoning, the uses in this area would be conforming. 21 APR o 6 1993 BOK
