In the past, however, different zoning patterns have existed. From 1963 to 1975, the <br />predominant zoning in the study area was commercial, followed by single-family residential <br />zomng. At that time there was little land zoned for multi -family uses. From 1975 to 1985, the <br />zomng pattern shifted to predominantly multiple -family zoning districts, followed by mobile <br />home districts and single-family districts. Since 1985, the zoning pattern in the study area has <br />been essentially the same as it is at present. <br />Over time, the trend in the study area has been a reduction of commercial zoning and an increase <br />in residential zoning. Early on, commercial zoning existed along both US 1 and Indian River <br />Drive. Beginning in the 1970s, commercial zoning along Indian River Drive was gradually <br />replaced by residential zoning until the zoning pattern came to resemble the pattern today, where <br />commercial districts abut U.S. #1, and residential zoning prevails in the remaining areas. <br />Table 1 summarizes the zoning acreage in the study area by residential zoning district. <br />Table 1: Residential zoning districts along Indian River Drive <br />Zoning <br />District <br />Acres <br />per <br />Zoning <br />District <br />Acreage <br />developed <br />with Multi- <br />family <br />Acreage developed <br />with Single-family <br />or Mobile Homes <br />Vacant <br />residential <br />Acreage <br />Acreage of Non - <br />conforming uses <br />RM -6 <br />94.93 <br />17.04* <br />27.75 <br />45.57 <br />4.57 <br />RM -8 <br />6.25 <br />.94 <br />0 <br />5.31 <br />0 <br />RNIH-8 <br />35.14 <br />0 <br />32.768 <br />1.23 <br />1.15 <br />RS -6 <br />68.68 <br />0 <br />49.64 <br />18.62 <br />0.42 <br />Total <br />205 <br />17.98 <br />110.15 <br />70.73 <br />6.14 <br />* Includes Inlet at Sebastian (about 14 acres). ¶In RMH-8, acres developed with mobile homes <br />• Existing Land Use Pattern <br />The study area contains vacant residential and commercial land, single-family subdivisions and <br />mobile homes.
