Future Land Use Pattern 40 The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and the land north and west of it as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 units/acre). The land east and south of the subject property is included in the Kings Highway and State Road 60 0 commercial node. In analyzing this request, staff looked at the amount of commercial acreage available in this node and analyzed the applicant's request from the aspect of aligning the entrance to the proposed commercial development on the west side of Kings Highway with the existing entrance to Ryanwood on the eastside of Kings Highway. Currently, this node contains 160 acres with the acreage broken down as follows: 1) Winn-Dixie Shopping Center and adjacent commercial uses west of 43rd Avenue 6.38 acres 2) Indian River Farms Drainage District office and Mobil Service Station .59 acres 3) Ed Schlitt Agency .19 acres 4) First Union West Side Banking Facility 1.79 acres 5) Ryanwood Shopping Center. 18.68 acres 6) Oak Terrace Restaurant Site 2.1 acres 7) Vacant Commercial property located east of Kings Highway 70.81 acres 8) County water tower & City power substation 1.53 acres 9) Florida National Bank 2.0 acres 10) Vacant Commercial property located west of Kings Highway 55.94 acres Based on this acreage breakdown, there are 33.26 acres of land in the node which are developed in commercial uses, and 126.75 acres which could be developed for commercial use. The existing commercial develr.pment represents approximately 21 percent of the acreage of the rode. In August of 1935, the existing commercial development in the node accounted for 11.05 acres or 7 percent of the acreage of the node. While there is still a large amount of land in the rode available for development, the percentage devoted to commercial use has increased rapidly and is anticipated to continue to increase as the State Road 60 corridor continues to develop. In analyzing the applicant's desire to align their entranceway with Ryanwood's entrance on Kings Highway, staff notes that it is desirable to align such entranceways from a traffic circulation standpoint and that the alternative is to have an entranceway to the property on the westside of Kings Highway located closer to State Road 60. Staff also notes that if the subject property is included in the node and rezoned commercial there would be a ten acre parcel of land left between the subject property and the single-family subdivision to the north which could be developed for multiple -family residences to create a land use buffer. Transportation The subject property has direct access to Kings Highway (classified as an arterial street on the County's Thoroughfare Plan). If developed with the property to the south, direct access would also be available to State Road 60 (also classified as an arterial street). Development of the subject property and the adjoining 18 acre parcel of land for a shopping center could generate up to 9,868 average annual daily trips (AADT). State Road 60 currently carries approximately 14,000 AADT at /aa
