land is zoned RS -2, Single -Family Residential District (up to 2 units/acre). That land consists of Kingswood Estates, a subdivision of single-family residences, on the south side of 16t6 Street, and citrus groves on the north side of 16th Street. The Main Canal borders the subject property on the north. The subject property and land to the south and west are designated AG -1, Agricultural -1, on the county's future land use map. The AG -1 designation permits agricultural uses and residential uses with densities up to 1 unit/5 acres. To the north of the subject property, across the Main Canal, land is designated C/I, Commercial/Industrial. The C/I designation permits various commercial and industrial zoning districts. To the east of the subject property, across 58th Avenue, land is designated L-1, Low -Density Residential -1. The L-1 designation permits residential uses with densities up to 3 units/acre. Although predominately a citrus grove, the site contains several large protected trees located near the residence. The site, however, does not contain any wetlands or native upland habitat. According to Flood Insurance Rating Maps, the subject property is within an "AE" 100 year floodplain, with a minimum base flood elevation requirement of 23 feet NGVD. The site is outside the Urban Service Area (USA) of the county. Potable water distribution lines extend from the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant along 586 Avenue (a USA boundary) adjacent to the site. Wastewater collection lines from the West Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant also extend along 58th Avenue adjacent to the site. The property's east boundary abuts 5816 Avenue which is classified as an urban principal arterial road on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map. This segment of 58th Avenue is a four lane paved road with approximately 120 feet of existing public road right-of-way. Currently, there are no plans to expand this portion of 58th Avenue. The property's north boundary abuts 300 feet of canal right-of-way. In addition to the Main Canal, that right-of-way includes Atlantic Boulevard. West of 581h Avenue, Atlantic Boulevard is a two lane unpaved local road. Currently, there are no plans to expand this portion of Atlantic Boulevard.
