The coastal high -hazard area is the area below the elevation of the. categ,ory 1 store► surge line as established by a Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges for IIurricanes (SLOSH) computerized storm surfje model. Within the CHHA, there are several large tracts of land in the unincorporated County that consist of environmentally -sensitive estuarine wetlands. In the unincorporated area, those lands, located along both sides of the IRL, are designated "C-2" on the future land use map. `C-2" designated lands may be developed at one (1) unit per 40 acres or used for a density transfer of one (1) unit per acre to an upland site. Most of the land in the unincorporated County within the CI IHA consists of residential land with dcveloprnent potential and permitted densitics ranging from three (3) to ten (10) units per acre. A substantial portion of this land is currently developed. Much of that development took place at a time when the CIII-IA was more nar-owly defined as land on the barrier island, east of the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL). In the unincorporated area, the CHHA also contains a shall portion of the commercially designated knid in three (3) areas. Those areas within the CHHA are: the Medical Node Appendix A Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element effective land use patterns that provide for separation and incorporate the use of buffers, Areas which contain incompatible uses are often older areas in transition from one use to another. Coastal High Hazard Area As implied by its title, the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) is an area of increased risk to life and property due to hurricanes and/or severe storms. For that reason, certain land use- may not be appropriate within the CHHA. As defined in state law, the GR44A eetisistS of - the —entire —evaeuationzene for a eategery 1 hurfieane.

That relati�cly narrow strip of land consists mostly of dunes and sandy shoreline. In the unincorporated area, the CIIIA also contains a small portion of the commercially designated land in three areas. Those areas are within the 37th Street/US I Node (near Indian River Memorial Hospital), the Grand Harbor Node, and the CR 51 0/US 1 Node (in Wabasso). When determining the appropriate land use designations for land within the CHHA, the county must consider the following facts. • The appropriateness of the land use designations, including the land use designation's impact on hurricane evacuation, was considered prior to plan adoption in 1990. • Since plan adoption in 1990, the CHI IA has been expanded. 'the expansion of the CHHA, however, is based on a rule change.
