According to an environmental survey . the irregular northern , eastern . and western boundaries of the subject property indicate the edges of environmentally important estuarine wetlands . Some environmentally important estuarine wetlands may also be present on land to the north and south of the subject property . Although the county ' s zoning atlas depicts estuarine wetlands within the county as having various zoning designations , all environmentally important estuarine wetlands are deemed to be zoned Con - 2, Estuarine Wetland Conservation District ( up to 1 unit/40 acres ) . Most of the land surrounding the subject property consists of a combination of wooded uplands and wetlands of varying quality . The exception is the single - family homes southwest of the subject property , in the Tropicana Homesites and the Pelican Pointe of Sebastian subdivisions . Future Land Use Pattern The subject property and properties to the north and south are depicted as C- 2, Estuarine Wetlands Conservation - 2. on the county future land use map . Future Land Use Element Policv 1 . 7 , however, states that the exact boundaries of C- 2 designated areas are determined by environmental survey , and that any land which is depicted as C - 2 on the future land use map , but is determined by environmental survey not to be wetlands , will have the same land use designation as the contiguous adjacent property . Thus . according to an environmental survey , the subject property and properties to the north. south . and west , 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 . That environmental survey also shows that the irregular northern . eastern , and western boundaries of the subject property are the edges of environmentally important estuarine wetlands that are designated C- 2 on the county future land use map. The C- 2 designation permits conservation uses . limited recreational uses , and residential uses with densities up to 1 unit/40 acres for on - site development or 1 unit/acre for transferable development rights . Environment The subject property and surrounding areas consist of densely wooded uplands and wetlands of varying quality . According to an environmental survey , some of the wetlands , delineated by the irregular eastern and western boundaries of subject property, are environmentally important estuarine wetlands . The subject property is within an "AE" 100 year floodplain . with a minimum base flood elevation requirement of nine feet NGVD . Utilities and Services The site is within the Urban Service Area of the county . Water lines from the North Countv Reverse Osmosis Plant and sewer lines from the North Regional Wastewater Treatment plant extend alone US 1 to within approximately one quarter of a mile of the subject property . Transportation System The subject property is part of a larger parcel that is bordered on the west by US 1 . Classified as a rural principal arterial road on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map, US I is four lane road with approximately 120 feet of public road right-of- way . Currently , there are no plans to expand this segment of US 1 . June 12 , 2001 16 { u �D J
