Existing Land Use Pattern The RS -3 zoned subject property is vacant and heavily wooded. Land to the north of the suhject property, across 9`h Street, Sys', is zoned CG, General Commercial District, and contains a `y'inn Dixie Shopping Center. Land to the west of the subject property, on the west side of 31" Avenue, is zoned RS -3 and contains two platted single-family subdivisions. As a whole, those subdivisions contain a variety of lot widths and sizes. One of those subdivisions, Stirling Lakes Estates, is relatively small in terms of both land area and number of lots (22). Because Stirling Lakes Estates was platted in 1985 under current subdivision regulations, all of its lots conform to existing RS -3 size and dimension criteria. For that reason, all of the lots in Stirling Lakes Estates are at least 80 feet wide. The other subdivision, Grovenor Estates, is significantly larger in terms of both land area and number of lots. Platted in 1957, Grovenor Estates contains slightly smaller lots that do not conform to the existing RS -3 size and dimension criteria. Although several lots have been combined, most of the original platted lots are 70 or 75 feet wide and contain approximately 9,500 square feet. Land to the south of the subject property, across 13`h Street, SW, is the site of the Colony mixed use planned development. Zoned PD, Planned Development, the Colony has been conceptually approved at a density of 2.5 units/acre. County engineering staff are currently reviewing a Land Development Permit application for the Colony. Land along most of the subject property's eastern boundary is zoned RS -3. The exception is the northern 635 feet which is zoned CL, Limited Commercial District. The land between the subject property and 27`h Avenue (Emerson Avenue) contains several uses, including the following: • mobile homes on the southern portion; • a mix of vacant lots, abandoned structures, single-family residences, and multiple-farmly buildings on the centralportion; and • professional offices, vacant wooded land, and storage and repair businesses on the northern portion. A convenience store and gas station have been approved, although not constructed, at the southwest corner of 9`h Street, SW and 27`h Avenue. Future Land Use Pattern The subject property, properties to the south and west of the subject property, and most of the properties to the east of the subject property are designated L-2, Low -Density Residential -2, on the county future land use map. The L-2 designation permits residential uses with densities up to 6 units/acre. Lands along the northern 635 feet of the subject property's eastern boundary, and lands to the north of the subject property are designated C/1, Commercial/Industrial. The C/I designation allows various commercial and industrial zoning districts. DECEMBER 4, 2001 -78-
