A further <br />extension was approved west to 98th Avenue SW with the same north -south boundaries. <br />- Temporary Moratorium - To facilitate comprehensive planning and high-quality development, the Board <br />approved a one-year temporary moratorium on rezoning requests and land use changes within the newly <br />defined Oslo Corridor. <br />- Overlay District Establishment - The Board directed staff to prepare for the establishment of an Oslo Corridor <br />Overlay District. This overlay will cover the area from 58th Avenue SW to 98th Avenue SW, bounded north by <br />5th Street SW and south by 13th Street SW, and will introduce corridor -specific zoning, design, and <br />development criteria. <br />POTENTIAL FUTURE BOARD ACTIONS <br />The following items will be brought forward for formal consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission <br />and then the BCC: <br />1. Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment - USB Expansion <br />Staff will initiate a map amendment to expand the USB to include the Oslo Corridor from 58th Avenue SW to <br />98th Avenue SW, between 5th Street SW and 13th Street SW. This area totals approximately 2,180.3 acres and <br />is strategically located near the future Oslo Road/I-95 interchange. The amendment will accommodate <br />projected growth, enhance infrastructure planning, and support economic development. <br />2. Ordinance - Oslo Corridor Overlay District <br />An ordinance will be drafted to create the Oslo Corridor Overlay District. The overlay will introduce specific <br />regulations on zoning, permitted uses, architectural design, landscaping, and site layout to promote visually <br />cohesive, well-planned development aligned with community and corridor objectives. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />N/A <br />OTHER PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />This initiative supports the goals of the Indian River County Comprehensive Plan and aligns with the County's <br />Land Development Regulations. The Oslo Corridor planning process advances the County's objectives for <br />sustainable growth, responsible land use, and strategic infrastructure investment. <br />Indian River County, Florida Page 2 of 3 Printed on 6/12/2025 <br />powered by Legistar 11 182 <br />
