• <br />414 <br />For those reasons, it is preferable, where possible, to site multi -family residential between single- <br />family areas and commercial uses or •between single-family areas and multi -lane roadways. <br />Because of the site design flexibility of multi -family there are more opportunities to mitigate <br />commercial impacts with multi -family than with single-family. Multi -family development is <br />also considered as a good transition between mobile homes and single-family. <br />Given these considerations, several conclusions can be drawn regarding the zoning pattern in the <br />study area. First, the multi -family zoning in the south part of the study area is reasonable since it <br />abuts mobile home development that is mostly on the west side of Old Dixie, but in one area <br />extends to Indian River Drive. Attachment 1 shows the multi -family zoned properties adjacent <br />to the mobile home (RNII-I-8) area. Because most of this multi -family zoned area is <br />characterized by relatively small lots and parcels, the area will most likely continue to develop <br />with single-family homes and occasional duplexes. <br />The second conclusion is that the multi -family zoning of the property west of Old Dixie is <br />reasonable. Although there are only five multi -family zoned parcels west of Old Dixie two of <br />these are larger parcels, and both of these larger parcels abut commercially zoned property that <br />has U.S. #1 frontage. One of these parcels is the site of Inlet at Sebastian the recently approved <br />82 unit multi -family project. <br />The final conclusion is less definitive and relates to the multi -family zoned property between Old <br />Dixie and the Indian River Lagoon, north of the mobile home area. Characterized mostly by <br />smaller lots and parcels, with the exception of the Inlet at Sebastian tract, this area is generally <br />limited to single-family or duplex uses because of the lot sizes. As shown on Attachment 3, <br />almost half of the multi -family zoned parcels between Old Dixie and the Indian River Lagoon <br />are developed with single-family uses. While this indicates that single-family zoning could be <br />appropriate in this area, it also indicates that future development will probably continue to be <br />primarily single-family, even if the multi -family zoning is not changed. <br />Considering the study area as a whole, a number of factors indicate that the existing multi -family <br />zoning is appropriate. Those areas where multi -family zorung is most appropriate are those <br />lands abutting commercial and mobile home zoned areas. In other parts of the study area, <br />particularly on land east of Old Dixie, single-family zoning could be appropriate, given the small <br />size of the lots and parcels. <br />• Nlulti-Familv Resource/Infrastructure Impacts <br />One concern that often arises with multi -family development relates to resource/infrastructure <br />impacts. Because more dwelling units can be built under multi -family zoning than under single- <br />family zoning, many people believe that multi -family development will result in significant <br />traffic impacts, major drainage problems, and destruction of natural areas. That is not the case. <br />On a multi -family zoned site, an applicant can_ usually obtain a yield close to the maximum <br />allowed by the site's zoning. For example, the 14 acre, RM -6 zoned Inlet at Sebastian site <br />accommodated an 82 unit project. If that property had been zoned single-family (RS -6), the site <br />probably could not have accommodated more than 50 conventional single-family lots — and even <br />that assumes impacting the site's wetlands and mitigating those impacts off-site <br />Because multi -family units produce significantly fewer trips than single-family units, the 82 unit <br />Inlet at Sebastian project will produce only about 4 percent more traffic than a fifty lot single- <br />family subdivision on the same property. That occurs because multi -family units generate 5.86 <br />trips per day, while single family units generate 9.57 trips per day. <br />July 23, 2002 <br />63 <br />
