The Board reviewed a Memorandum of March 30, 1998: TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator DP14TMENT HEAD CONCURRENCE Robert M. Keating, AMP THROUGH: Sasan Rohani, AICP *7 Chief; Long -Range Planning FROM: John Wachtel Senior Planner, Long -Range Planning DATE: March 30,1998 RE: Triple S Properties, Inc. and Crazy Woman Properties, Inc.'s Request to Rezone +46.6 acres from RS -6 to MED (RZON 98-01-0082) It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of April 14, 1998. This is a request to rezone approximately 46.6 acres located at the southwest comer of Indian River Boulevard and 41' Street. The request involves rezoning the property from RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre) to MED, Medical District. The purpose of this request is to secure the necessary zoning to develop the site with medical offices. On March 12,1998, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7 to 0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request to rezone the subject property to MED. The RS -6 zoned subject property and all land surrounding it, except for the eastern 915 feet of the site's southern boundary, consist of citrus groves. Abutting land on the west is zoned RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre). To the north of the subject property, across 41" Street, land is zoned RS -6. East of the subject property, across Indian River Boulevard, land is zoned RM -8, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 8 units/acre). Land along the eastern 915 feet of the site's southern boundary contains the RM -8 zoned NHC Place, an Adult Living Facility. Land along the remainder of the site's southern boundary is zoned RS -6. . The subject property and all surrounding properties are currently designated M-1, Medium -Density Residential -1, on the county future land use map. The M-1 designation permits residential densities up to 8 unitstacre. However, a future land use map designation amendment to extend the north boundary of the 37* Street/US 1 Medical/Commercial Node to 41s Street is in the final stages of being processed. That proposed amendment will redesignate the subject property and all adjacent property to the south and west to C/l, Commercial/Industrial. The C/I designation permits commercial and industrial zoning districts, including the requested MED district. To ensure comprehensive plan consistency, the proposed MED rezoning for the subject property cannot become effective until the referenced comprehensive plan amendment has been finalized. The subject property is currently used for agricultural purposes, being a citrus grove. No wetlands or native upland plant communities exist on site. Portions of the subject property are within an "AE" 100 year floodplain, with a minimum base flood elevation requirement of seven feet NGVD. APRIL 149 1998 -55- 1051,°4'
