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