hospital/ commercial node centered around Indian River Memorial Hospital. The land west of the subject property is designated A commercial by Vero Beach's Comprehensive Plan. During the Spring of 1986, the City and County planning staffs studied the area around the subject property to determine the 0 appropriate zoning. At that time, the City was considering detaching the area east of U.S. 1 and north of the Main Relief Canal from the City Limits. The County Planning staff recommended that if the property was detached from the City that the County establish an MXD, Mixed Use District, running 350 feet east of the existing east right-of-way line of U.S. 1 from 35th Street south to 33rd Street and zone this area CL, Limited Commercial District. The Board of County Commissioners considered this recommendation in June of 1986 and agreed with so the staff recommendation for the MXD area but felt that the CG, General Commercial District, would be more appropriate. In analyzing this request, staff relied on the work done in 1986 and feels that the west 150 feet of the subject property should be designated MXD and rezoned to CG. This would be compatible with the City's commercial zoning and commercial land use designation for the 200 foot strip of property lying west of the subject property and east of U.S. 1. The applicants would then have commercial zoning for a depth of 350 feet from U.S. 1. Trans ortation System The subject property will have access to U.S. 1 (classified as an arterial street on the County's Thoroughfare Plan). The maximum development of the subject property under CG zoning could generate up to 2741 average annual daily trips (AADT). U.S. 1 currently handles 21,900 AADT in this area at level -of --service "C". This additional traffic will not diminish this level -of -service. Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area. Utilities Water is available for the subject property. County wastewater facilities are not available. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and 'Zoning Commission's recommendation, staff recommends that the staff be authorized to transmit to the State the request to amend the Comprehensive Plan for the west 150 feet of the subject property to be redesignated as MXD. The staff also recommends that the staff be directed to initiate a comprehensive plan amendment request in July to establish an MXD area from 35th Street south to the Vero Beach City limits.
