On August 26, 1993, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request to rezone the subject property to CG. Future Land Use Pattern The subject property and properties to the south and east are currently designated C/I, Commercial/Industrial, on the county's Future Land Use Map. Properties to the west, across 10th Avenue, and to the north are within the Vero Beach city limits. The land to the west is designated I, Industrial, on the city's Future Land Use Map, while the land north of the subject property is designated C, Commercial. Environment The subject property's natural condition has been disturbed by development. No wetlands or native upland plant communities exist on site. According to flood insurance rating maps, the subject property does not include any flood hazard areas. Utilities and Services The site is within the Urban Service Area of the county. Potable water is available to the site from the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant. Wastewater service is available to the site from the City of Vero Beach Wastewater Treatment Plant. Transportation System The subject property is part of a parcel that has access to U.S. Highway #1, which is classified as an urban principal arterial roadway on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map. This segment of U.S. Highway #1 is a five lane road with approximately 100 feet of existing public road right-of-way. This segment of U.S. Highway #1 is programmed for expansion to six lanes and 130 feet of public road right-of-way by 2010. The subject property also has access to 10th Avenue. This segment of 10th Avenue is a two lane paved local road with approximately 70 feet of existing public road right-of-way. This segment of 10th Avenue is presently under construction for expansion to three lanes. Zoning District Differences The difference between the IG and CG zoning Districts largely involves the nature of permitted activities and the magnitude of the associated impacts on surrounding areas. According to county regulations, the CG district is programmed to accommodate general retail sales and selected service activities. In contrast, the IG district is programmed to accommodate employment and industrial centers. The IG district should be located in an area that can accommodate adverse impacts associated with industrial uses. The difference between the IG and CG zoning districts is best illustrated by the respective purpose statements of each of the two districts. These purpose statements are as follows: • IG, General Industrial District, is intended to provide areas where a broad range of industrial activities may locate and operate without significant adverse impacts upon nearby properties. The IG district is further intended to promote the establishment of employment centers which are accessible 25 L_ O C T 19 X99,3 BOOK 90 f'AGE 800
