� � r INDIAN RIVER COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE #90-16 OF 9/11/90 COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS #911:10 PURPOSE & INTENT: The commercial districts are established to implement. the Indian River County Comprehensive Plan policies for commercial development. These districts are intended to permit the development of commercial property, to provide a efficient use of land and public intrastructure, promote the economic well being of the county, protect the natural resources and beauty of the county, and ensure commercial development compatible with existing and proposed development. In order to achieve this purpose, these districts shall regulate the size, scope, and location of commercial uses and provide standards to ensure development compatible with the built and natural environment. The "CL" district is intended to provide areas for the development of restricted commercial activities, and intended to accommodate the convenience retail and service needs of area residents, while minimizing the impact on any nearby residential areas. The word "minimizing" is crucial to the judicial intent of the County Zoning Ordinance. The American College Dictionary, 1966 edition clarifies the meaning. "Minimizing (verb) to reduce to the smallest possible amount or -degree. To represent at the lowest possible estimate." A negative loss of.119.3% does not agree with minimizing the impact on any nearby residential areas. We hope that County officials, after reviewing all the evidence, will reject for the third time the developer's plan for a supermarket in The Moorings. Mr. Salmon concluded his presentation by urging the Board to deny the Halvorsen appeal.
