With the proposed amendment, Fellsmere will change most of the developable portion of <br /> the property to residential without providing adequate data and analysis to indicate why <br /> more residential land is needed and how the reduction in CA land will affect the county' s <br /> Commercial/Industrial supply/demand balance. The proposed amendment will also <br /> produce strip commercial development along C .R. 512 . <br /> D. Proposed amendment is inconsistent with Indian River County Future Land Use <br /> Element Policy 1 .41 <br /> This policy indicates that light industrial uses are appropriate along arterial roads, <br /> separated from residential uses, and near industrial areas. The subject property meets all <br /> those criteria. Policy 1 .41 also indicates that residential uses should be separated from <br /> major commercial and industrial areas. Therefore, the land use designation of the <br /> property should not be changed from C/I to residential. <br /> E. Proposed amendment is inconsistent with Indian River County Comprehensive Plan <br /> Economic Development Policies 1 .8, 2.3, and 2.4 <br /> Those policies indicate that the county will periodically evaluate size and location of C/I <br /> nodes, that it will designate sufficient land for C/I uses, and that it will assist developers <br /> in establishing industrial parks in the county' s I-95 C/I nodes, including the C .R. 512/I-95 <br /> C/I node. <br /> With the proposed amendment, Fellsmere will eliminate the allowance of industrial uses <br /> on the subject property. Without adequate supporting data and analysis, the City will <br /> eliminate significant C/I node acreage that the county has determined is necessary to <br /> attract target industries, support economic development, and accommodate viable <br /> industrial parks. <br /> II .
