<br />Note: These tables are summaries and general guidelines to the
<br />different levels of commercial centers. As other pages in the
<br />source state, service areas vary in size and shape based on unique
<br />geographical constraints, density, and proximity to other
<br />commercial areas. The radius or the driving time becomes .larger or
<br />longer when surrounding residential uses are low density, (when
<br />there is a unique geographical constraint) or the commercial site
<br />is' -distant from other commercial and urban areas.
<br />All of the literature is clear that grocery stores/supermarkets are
<br />key components of neighborhood commercial centers, and that
<br />neighborhood commercial centers provide sales of convenience and
<br />personal services. Therefore, according to this planning
<br />literature, a shopping center 50,000 square feet or less with a
<br />grocery store/ supermarket would be consistent with the purpose and
<br />intent of the CL zoning district. Such is the case with the Sea
<br />Mist Shoppes proposal.
<br />-Distinction Between Zoning Districts
<br />Like most jurisdictions, Indian River County has a set of zoning
<br />districts that are hierarchal in nature. Its three principal
<br />commercial districts, CN (neighborhood), CL (limited), and CG
<br />(general), are structured to accommodate different types of service
<br />areas, and the uses permitted in each district have been
<br />established according to these service area needs.
