BOOK 99 FADE 285 <br />This development will provide additional jobs in the community and <br />help Indian River County meet the stated objective. <br />Overall Economic Development Plan Objective 2.4 <br />Overall Economic Development Plan objective 2.4 states that the <br />Indian River County Council of 100 shall identify areas of the <br />county providing summer employment opportunities and make this <br />information available to agricultural related businesses and <br />employees. <br />This proposal will make additional employment opportunities <br />available in the summer, thereby helping the county provide steady <br />year round employment. <br />•Compatibility with the Surroundinc Area: <br />It is the staff's position that granting the PD'rezoning request <br />will ensure a greater degree of compatibility with the surrounding <br />areas than the minimum development standards that would be applied <br />to a normal CL/CG zoned development. As indicated above, the <br />increased buffering and building setback standards proposed as part <br />of the PD zoning district exceed the CL and CG standards. The <br />Board of County Commissioners does have the ability through the PD <br />process to require additional conditions or restrictions to ensure <br />compatibility with the surrounding area. <br />PD PLAN ANALYSIS: <br />The PD plan. depicts the proposed superstore improvements and <br />related parking lot expansion to be located on the 6.19 acre parcel <br />that is to be rezoned, and depicts construction phasing and some <br />minor modifications to the existing Wal-Mart/Sam's site, including <br />changes to: the Wal-Mart building, parking areas, landscape areas, <br />and the Wal-Mart SR 60 sign. On the overall site (the existing <br />Wal-Mart/Sam's site and the 6.19 acre addition) the PD plan <br />indicates two separate stores: a 194,310 square foot Wal-Mart <br />superstore, and a 125,000 square foot Sam's store. Construction <br />will be phased, with the first phase of construction consisting of <br />the expansion of the existing Wal-Mart store to a superstore. <br />Construction of the Sam's building will be the second phase. In <br />the future, the applicant may propose minor modifications to the <br />size of the two buildings; however, the total building area on the <br />site will not exceed 319,810 square feet. <br />1.
