Future Land Use Pattern <br />The subject property and all properties between Old Dixie Highway <br />and US 1 are designated C/I, Commercial/Industrial on the future <br />land use map. The C/I designation permits various commercial and <br />industrial zoning districts. Land to the west -of Old Dixie Highway <br />and the east of US 1 is designated L-2, Low -Density Residential72, <br />on the future land use map. The L-2 designation permits <br />residential uses with a density of up to 6 units/acre. <br />Environment <br />With the exception of some native scrub habitat in the southernmost <br />portion of the site, the subject property has little environmental <br />significance. The adjacent property to the north, however, <br />contains the endangered Lakela's Mint. According to Flood <br />Insurance Rating Maps, the subject property is not within a flood <br />hazard area. <br />Utilities and Services <br />The site is within the Urban Service Area of the county. Water <br />lines from the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant extend to within <br />a quarter mile of the site. Wastewater lines from the South <br />Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant also extend to within a quarter <br />mile of the site. <br />Transportation System <br />The subject property abuts US 1. Classified as an urban principal <br />arterial roadway on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map, US -1 <br />is a four -lane road with approximately 130 to 160 feet of existing <br />public road right-of-way. US 1 is programmed for expansion to 6 <br />lanes by 2010. <br />Zoning District Differences <br />There are many similarities and some differences between the <br />existing CH zoning district and the proposed IL district. These <br />are best illustrated by the respective purpose statements of each <br />of the two districts. These purpose statements are as follows: <br />• CH, Heavy Commercial District, is intended to provide areas <br />for establishments engaging in wholesale trade, major repair <br />services and restricted light manufacturing activities. The <br />CH district is further intended to provide support services <br />necessary for the development of commercial and industrial <br />uses allowed within other non-residential zoning districts. <br />• IL, Light Industrial District, is intended to provide <br />opportunities for limited manufacturing and industrial uses <br />and to promote the establishment of employment centers which <br />are accessible to urban services and facilities, the area <br />labor force, and local industrial and business markets while <br />minimizing the potential for any adverse impacts upon nearby <br />properties. <br />In terms of permitted uses, the principal difference between the CH <br />and IL zoning districts is that most manufacturing uses that are <br />permitted within the IL zoning district (such as the manufacturing <br />of tobacco products, textile products, lumber and wood, furniture <br />17 BOOK 9 7F,aGE <br />JANUARY 2 1996 <br />
