Compatibility with Surrounding Areas: Compatibility is an important consideration in any PD rezoning request. In this case, it is important to consider compatibility of the proposed project with properties in the immediate area, and those within the general area. Immediate Area: The properties along the north project boundary consist of two residential single-family subdivisions known as Casa Bella (fk.a. Indian River Courts PD) and Lily's Cay. The subject site is separated from the properties to the north by 41St Street which is a paved, two-lane local collector road. Based on the land use designation of the properties to the north (M-1, Medium -Density Residential -1), the existing uses (single- family detached homes), and the proposed residential uses on the project site, the PD regulations require a 25' project perimeter setback (buildings, driveways, roadways, and parking areas), but they do not require a Type `B" landscape buffer. However, the County LDRs do require a local road landscape buffer, and the proposed conceptual PD plan and conceptual landscape plan provide the required local road buffer (see attachments 5, 6, and 7). The properties along the east project boundary consist of a vacant abandoned citrus grove (Riverfront Groves Inc.) and the Solaris Assisted Living Facility. To ensure compatibility, the PD regulations require a 25' wide Type `B" buffer along the east project boundary, and the proposed conceptual PD plan and conceptual landscape plan provide the required 25' Type `B" buffer (see attachments 5, 6, and 7). The properties along the south project boundary consist of a number of properties containing medical offices, outpatient clinics, residential centers, and assisted living facilities. To ensure compatibility, the PD regulations require a 25' wide Type `B" buffer along the south project boundary, and the proposed conceptual PD plan and conceptual landscape plan provide .the required 25' Type `B" buffer (see attachments 5, 6, and 7). The properties along the southern one-third of the west project boundary consist of single-family homes located within the W.E. Geoffreys Subdivision. The subject site is separated from those properties to the west by 17th Avenue and 39' Street, which are both narrow, paved "half' streets. Based on the land use designation of the properties to the west (M-1, Medium -Density Residential -1), the existing uses (single- family detached homes), and the proposed residential uses on the project site, the PD regulations require a 25' project perimeter setback (buildings, driveways, roadways, and parking areas), but they do not require a Type `B" landscape buffer. However, the County LDRs do require a local road landscape buffer, and the proposed conceptual PD plan and conceptual landscape plan provide the required local road buffer (see attachments 5, 6, and 7). The properties along the northern two-thirds of the west project boundary consist of several large vacant properties that are zoned MED. To ensure compatibility, the PD regulations require a 25' wide Type "B" buffer along the northern two-thirds of the west project boundary, and the proposed conceptual PD plan and conceptual landscape plan provide the required 25' Type `B" buffer (see attachments 5, 6, and 7). General Area: The project site is located within Indian River County "medical district", between US Highway 1 and Indian River Boulevard, north of 37th Street and south of 41 " Street. Nearly all of the MED zoned 60
