0 <br />Open Space: A minimum 90% open space is required. <br />Maximum Building Height: 35' <br />Existing Zoning and Land Use Pattern <br />The 185.21 acre site is vacant. The IL zoned portion of the site, which is generally the east '/z of <br />the project, is vegetated by scrub, wetlands and pine flat woods. The central portion of the site, <br />which is residentially designated, is in citrus. The western portion of the site, which is bisected by <br />the Lateral G Canal, is residentially zoned and vegetated with pine flat woods. <br />The property to the south is residentially designated (L-2) and developed as Bent Pine and Hawks <br />Nest golf courses. West of the project site is the Bent Pine golf course and existing groves which <br />are residentially designated (L-2). The property north of the subject site is vacant, with the eastern <br />portion being commercially/industrially designated (CII) and the western portion being residentially <br />designated (L-1). East of the site is the FEC Railroad, Old Dixie Highway, and mostly vacant <br />property which has a commercial/industrial land use designation. <br />Future Land Use Map Pattern <br />The subject property has a commercial/industrial (C/1) land use designation on the eastern %a and an <br />L-2 land use designation on the western portion. Properties to the east and west have the same land <br />use designation as the adjacent portion of the subject site. Thus, property to the north is <br />commerciaUmdustrial designated on the east side of the site and residentially designated on the west, <br />with the same break point as the subject property. The only difference is that the residentially <br />designated property on the north is L-1 (low density residential up to 3 units/acre) rather than L-2 <br />(low density residential up to 6 units/acre). <br />The property to the south is residentially designated and is developed as a golf course. The <br />applicant's request to use the C/I portion of the subject site as a golf course will ensure compatibility <br />with the golf course to the south <br />Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan <br />Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with the policies of the comprehensive plan and <br />must also be consistent with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future Land Use <br />Map. The land use map depicts agricultural, residential, recreational, conservation, and commercidl <br />and industrial land uses and their densities. Commercial and industrial land uses are located in nodes <br />throughout the unincorporated areas of Indian River County. <br />The goals, objectives and policies are the most important parts of the comprehensive plan. Policies <br />are statements in the plan which identify the actions which the county will take in order to direct the <br />community's development. As courses of action committed to by the county, these policies provide <br />the basis for all county land development related decisions. While all comprehensive plan policies <br />are important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing rezoning requests. Of <br />particular applicability for this request are the following policies and objectives. <br />Future land use policies: <br />Policy 1.16: Development in CommerciaLlIndustrial designated areas shall be limited to the <br />following: <br />Retail and Wholesale Trade <br />Office Uses <br />Business and Personal Services <br />Limited Residential Uses <br />Manufacturing <br />Assembly <br />Materials Processing <br />FEBRUARY 16, 1999 <br />-27- <br />• <br />BOOK 108 FACE 361 <br />
