REFERENCE: Transmittal of "Land Use Amendment Only" to Comprehensive Plan
Dear Mr. Beck:
FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE RULE 9J-11.006
This letter and accompanying attachments are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 9J-

exemption from the provisions of Section 9J -11.006(1)(a)7.
CHANGE OF LAND USE
At its regular meeting of August 28, 2002, the City Council held a public hearing (transmittal)
and approved the following Ordinance for transmittal to the Department of Community Affairs:
Ordinance No: 0-02-13: Approving an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, which
amends the Future Land Use Element from L-1 (Low Density
Residential, 3 units per acre) to LDR (Low Density Residential, 5
units per acre) for 67 acres of land pending annexation.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS PER SECTION 9J-11.006(1), F.A.C.
Section 9J -11.006(1)(a)1. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on
July 18, 2002 concerning the proposed land use amendment.
Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 2. The City Council held a public hearing on August 28, 2002. The

Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 3. The City of Sebastian requests the Department of Community
Affairs review the proposed amendment.
Summary: The proposed Sebastian River Landings PUD is currently unincorporated, undeveloped
citrus groves immediately west of the St. Sebastian River along CR. 512. Forte Macaulay
Development Inc. has submitted an annexation request for the property, along with the requisite and
accompanying conceptual development plan. Additionally, the property is currently zoned A-1
(Agricultural) with an L-1 (Low Density Residential, 3 units per acre) land use designation and the
applicant wishes to re -zone the property PUD -R (planned unit development -residential), with a
comprehensive land use designation of LDR (low density residential). The conceptual plan outlines
a total of 9 blocks containing 210 total single-family lots on 67± acres, or a density of
approximately 3.1 units/acre.
In addition to the single-family homes, a small commercial node, approximately 6 acres in size,
including a 1 -acre stormwater management tract, is proposed along the CR 510 frontage. The
commercial tract is consistent with existing commercial development immediately north within
unincorporated Indian River County along the CR 510 and CR 512 intersection. In accordance
with section 54-2-5.11 of the LDC, the PUD(R) development may contain 125 square feet of
commercial land area per dwelling unit (125 x 209 = 26,125 SF, or .60 acres). Therefore, the
commercial parcel will be detached from the PUD and given a separate Commercial Limited (CL)
land use and zoning category, so as to be consistent with current zoning regulations.
Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 4. The city anticipates adopting this Ordinance in January of 2003.
Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 5. The proposed amendment is not applicable to an area of critical State
concern.
Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 6. N/A
Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 7. The proposed amendment does not qualify as an exemption.
Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 8. The City of Sebastian has submitted the proposed land use element
to the following agencies: 1) Treasure Coast Regional Planning
Council, 2) Indian River County Planning Department, 3) St. John's
River Water Management District, 4) Department of Transportation,
5) Department of Environmental Protection, 6) Florida Department
of State.

Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 9. City of Sebastian staff contacted Indian River County staff
regarding possible execution of an Interlocal Agreement for joint
planning activities for the subject property. Indian River County
staff did not foresee a justifiable need for such an agreement.
Therefore, the proposal is being processed solely by the City of
Sebastian.
Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 10. Tracy E. Hass, Director of Planning and Growth Management, City
of Sebastian, 1225 Main Street, Sebastian, Florida 32958,
telephone (772) 589-5537, fax (772) 589-2566.
Section 9J-11.006(1)(a)10(b). Attached you will find the following map:
1. City's adopted Future Land Use Map and a drawing indicating the surrounding
street and thoroughfare network.
Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 10(b) 2. The aforementioned map also indicates the present land use
designation of the subject property and the abutting properties
Future Land Use designation.
Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 10(b) 3. The subject property is approximately 67 acres, more or less.
Section 9J -11.006(1)(a) 10(b) 4. The following provides for the availability of demand on the
following public facilities:
1. Sanitary Sewer. Currently, sanitary sewer service
is available immediately to the north of the subject
property. Additionally, the City and Indian River
County Utility Services will be requiring the
developer to extend the existing sewer line to
service the proposed development.
2. Solid Waste. Disposal of all solid waste may occur
either through County -City interlocal recycling
program, as adopted by the City through passage of
Resolution No. R-92-05, on January 8, 1992, or at
County landfill sites, usage established on May 10,
1989, through the solid waste agreement,
Resolution No. R-89-25. This is consistent with the
City's adopted plan.

3. Potable Water. Currently, potable water service is
available immediately to the north of the subject
property. Additionally, the City and Indian River
County Utility Services will be requiring the
developer to extend the existing water line to
service the proposed development.
4. Traffic Circulation. The subject property is
located in West Central Sebastian and is currently
an unincorporated parcel with immediate access to
two arterial roadways (County Road 512 & County
Road 510). Two major access points have been
identified; the primary access will be a connection to
County Road 512 on the north end of the project.
The secondary access will be an immediate access
point to County Road 510 along the western
boundary of the proposed project.
Staff has determined that the proposed land use
change from L-1 (3 units/acre) to LDR (5
units/acre), and being 67 acres, will not adversely
impact the current level of service along either
roadway network. However, the City of Sebastian
has sufficient land development regulations,
including concurrency management requirements,
and subdivision review procedures in place to insure
the proposed development will not negatively
impact the roadway network and will provide
sufficient roadway improvements so as to assure
acceptable levels of service are maintained on the
City's thoroughfare network.
5. Recreation. The proposed will not impact the
existing recreational facilities owned by the City of
Sebastian. The proposed development will be
required to provide a minimum of 2 acres of park
space or open recreation area to satisfy minimum
standards as established by the City's Comprehensive
Plan.

SUMMARY
The proposed Sebastian River Landings PUD is currently unincorporated, undeveloped citrus groves immediately
west of the St. Sebastian River along CR. 512. Forte Macaulay Development Inc. has submitted an annexation
request for the property, along with the requisite and accompanying conceptual development plan. Additionally,
the property is currently zoned Agricultural (A-1) with a Low Density Residential (L-1), 3 units per acre, land use
designation and the applicant wishes to re -zone the property to Planned Unit Development Residential (PUD -R),
with a comprehensive land use designation of Low Density Residential (LDR). The conceptual plan outlines a
total of 9 blocks containing 209 total single-family lots on 72.45 acres, or a density of approximately 2.9
units/acre.
In addition to the single-family homes, a small commercial node of approximately 5 acres in size, including a i -
acre stotmwater management tract, is proposed along the CR 510 frontage. The commercial tract is consistent
with existing commercial development immediately north within unincorporated Indian River County along the
CR 510 and CR 512 intersection. In accordance with section 54-2-5.11 of the LDC, the PUD(R) development
may contain 125 square feet of commercial land area per dwelling unit (125 x 209 = 26,125 SF, or .60 acres).
Seeing as the proposed commercial land area exceeds the maximum permissible within a PUD, the applicant has
agreed to remove the commercial node from the PUD. Accordingly a separate land use change is being requested
for designating the commercial area as Commercial Limited (CL), thus allowing neighborhood commercial uses
as intended by the developer.
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the proposed land use amendment at their regular meefing on
July 18, 2002. Additionally, the Planning and Zoning Commission held the required public hearing and forwarded
a recommendation for approval of said request.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Hold a fust reading and public hearing for Ordinance No. 0-02-13, and move to authorize staff to transmit the
proposed land use amendment to the Florida Department of Community Affairs for review.

8. Project Description
a. Narrative of proposed action: The proposed Sebastian River Landings
PUD is currently unincorporated, undeveloped citrus groves immediately west of
the St. Sebastian River along CR. 512. Forte Macaulay Development Inc. has
submitted an annexation request for the property, along with the requisite and
accompanying conceptual development plan. Additionally, the property is currently
zoned A-1 (Agricultural) with an L-1 (Low Density Residential, 3 units per acre)
land use designation and the applicant wishes to re -zone the property PUD -R
1
(planned unit development -residential), with a comprehensive land use
designation of LDR (low density residential). The conceptual plan outlines a total
of 9 blocks containing 209 total single-family lots on 72.45 acres, or a density of
approximately 2.9 units/acre.
In addition to the single-family homes, a small commercial node, approximately 5
acres in size, including a 1 -acre stormwater management tract, is proposed along
the CR 510 frontage. The commercial tract is consistent with existing commercial
development immediately north within unincorporated Indian River County along
the CR 510 and CR 512 intersection. In accordance with section 54-2-5.11 of the
LDC, the PUD(R) development may contain 125 square feet of commercial land
area per dwelling unit (125 x 209 = 26,125 SF, or .60 acres). Based on the overall
low density of development, coupled with existing commercial uses along CR 510,
staff recommends approval of the larger commercial area.

c: Public Facilities: Consistent
d. Housing: Consistent
e. Coastal Management: Consistent
f. Recreation and Open Space: Consistent
g. Conservation: Consistent
h. Intergovernmental Coordination: Consistent
10. Conformance with Code of Ordinances: Consistent
11. Changed Conditions: Existing site is an inactive citrus grove, with proposed change to
single-family residential and commercial.
12. Land Use Compatibility: The adjacent properties to the south and east are
designated for low density residential, while the properties immediately north and west are
designated for commercial use. The proposed PUD has incorporated a commercial node
along CR 510, with low density residential for the remainder of the property, so as to be
consistent and compatible with the surrounding land use designations.
There will be a negligible impact caused by the proposed land use change due to the
similarity of the existing uses in the area.
13. Adequate Public Facilities: Provided — public utilities (water, wastewater) will be
incorporated within the development of the proposed PUD, and on-site stormwater tracts
are also incorporated in the proposal.
14. Natural Environment: The proposed PUD will be required to contain 2 acres of park
space or open recreation areas to satisfy the minimum standards as established by the
comprehensive plan. The preliminary development plan will be required to demonstrate
proper compliance with this regulation.
15. Economic Effect: provided — The property is currently not within the corporate limits of
the City of Sebastian. Annexation will provide an additional 72 +/- acres of land area and
a maximum of 209 residential units, which in turn creates an expanded tax base for the
City of Sebastian.
16. Orderly Development: The proposed land use change is consistent with the
comprehensive plan and the proposed land use change provides for orderly
development given the location of the site adjacent to residential/commercial property
and availability of sufficient public facilities and access.
17. Public Interest: The City of Sebastian Comprehensive Plan outlines the necessity to
incorporate and/or annex enclave parcels within incorporated cities. Although the property
in question is not an enclave, it is adjacent to the urban service area, and would most likely
be better served by municipal services. The current use of the property is for agricultural
purposes. The City does not permit agricultural use and the proposed change to a single-
family and commercial development is consistent with the future goals and objectives of
3
18.
the City of Sebastian. Therefore, staff finds that the proposed annexation/land use change
is not in conflict with public interest.
Other Matters: The requested land use change and accompanying rezoning will
provide consistency with the future land use map of the comprehensive plan.
Annexation of the parcels will demonstrate compliance with goals and objectives as
outlined in the comprehensive plan for annexation of properties lying adjacent to the
urban service area.
The proposed land use change will create a slightly greater impact on water,
wastewater, drainage and solid waste facilities.
19. Analysis: The proposed Sebastian River Landings PUD is currently unincorporated,
undeveloped citrus groves immediately west of the St. Sebastian River along CR. 512.
Forte Macaulay Development Inc. has submitted an annexation request for the property,
along with the requisite and accompanying conceptual development plan. Additionally, the
property is currently zoned A-1 (Agricultural) with an L-1 (Low Density Residential, 3 units
per acre) land use designation and the applicant wishes to re -zone the property PUD -R
(planned unit development -residential), with a comprehensive land use designation of
LDR (low density residential). The conceptual plan outlines a total of 9 blocks containing
209 total single-family lots on 72.45 acres, or a density of approximately 2.9 units/acre.
In addition to the single-family homes, a small commercial node, approximately 5 acres in
size, including a 1 -acre stormwater management tract, is proposed along the CR 510
frontage. The commercial tract is consistent with existing commercial development
immediately north within unincorporated Indian River County along the CR 510 and CR
512 intersection. In accordance with section 54-2-5.11 of the LDC, the PUD(R)
development may contain 125 square feet of commercial land area per dwelling unit (125
x 209 = 26,125 SF, or .60 acres). Based on the overall low density of development,
coupled with existing commercial uses along CR 510, staff recommends approval of the
larger commercial area.
20. Conclusion: The requested land use change from L-1 (County) to MDR is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Code and Code of Ordinances.
21. Recommendation: Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommend approval to City Council the requested land use change with the following
conditions:
The proposed PUD will be required to contain 2 acres of park space or open
recreation areas to satisfy the minimum standards as established by the
comprehensive plan. The preliminary development plan shall demonstrate proper
compliance with this regulation.
2. The land use change shall be conditioned upon receipt of annexation approval by
the City Council.

Chinn. Barrett opened the public hearing at 9:58 p.m.
The applicants, Timothy Jelus & Hugh Evans, 1688 W. Hibiscus Blvd., Melboume, and Randy
Mosby & Bruce Moya, project engineers, were present and sworn in.
Mr. Jelus explained that the project's property was an abandoned citrus grove, was for sale, and
was going to be developed by his company. He felt the City of Sebastian would like to have
control over the design standards and construction, which was why they were requesting to be
annexed into the City.
Mr. Smith questioned if it was legal to review the land use and zoning applications before the
subject property was officially annexed in. Mr. Stringer stated yes.
Mr. Jelus gave a review of the proposed subdivision including density, street layout, needed
permits, community house, pool, and a CR 510 commercial node. Mr. Hass stated because of the
size of the proposed commercial node and what was allowed in a PUD development, staff
recommended separating the commercial node from the PUD and giving it a separate land use
and zoning. He also explained the developers were applying to St. Johns for on-site stormwater
treatment system, which the water would then be released in to the St. Sebastian river.
Mr. Blessing had concerns regarding the entrance off of CR512 being so close to a busy
intersection. Mr. Jelus responded that they would be working intensely with the County on
definitive design plans especially since the County had plans to widen CR512 in that area. He
reiterated the Commission was just reviewing conceptual plans.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MLNUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF JULY 18, 2002
Mr. Mahoney had questions regarding Urban Service Areas. Mr. Svatik asked the applicant why
he wanted to annex into Sebastian. Mr. Jelus responded that they felt Sebastian would benefit
from the proposed development more than Indian River County. Pete Connelly, 457 Lighthouse
Avenue, land acquisition person for Forte Macaulay Developers (applicant), stated staff had
indicated to him the City wished to pursue annexation of adjoining properties.
ivlrs. Reichert had questions regarding stormwater run-off into the river, concerns about a
possible cattle dipping facility that used arsenic, rumored to have been on the subject property,
and traffic congestion with three schools in the area. She also questioned if the property was
considered contiguous with the property to the east {within the city limits} because of the ROW
along the river. 'ivIr. Stringer stated yes.
Betsy Field -Connelly, 149 Kildare Drive, would like to see Sebastian stay small town, and
questioned if adequate services were given to existing residents now.
Irene Thompson, 1531 Spinnaker Lane, stated she was against the annexation because it would
lead to additional larger annexations.
Ann Putman, Sebastian resident, remembered a land study done on the subject property which
found e -coli in the river from the defunct dairy farm and an empty arsenic tank from dipping the
cows. She had questions on construction setbacks from the river.
Sal Neglia, 461 Georgia Boulevard, asked about recycling irrigation water, if a gated ca=unity,
and Police and Fire services.
Heather Bryant, Sharkmart, fully supported the annexation.
Wait Stieglitz, 9871 Riverview Dr. Micco, Marine Resources Council & Pelican Island
Preservation Society & Friends of St. Sebastian River representative, spoke on protecting water
conditions of the river and Indian River Lagoon, and stormwater run-off ramifications of the
proposed project.
Shirley Kilkelly, 950 Franciscan Avenue, also had concerns about a possible arsenic
contamination, and asked that a condition of approval be added to require a Florida certified test
for chemicals.
Mr. Pete Connelly stated that an environmental audit had been done on the property and that the
closest cattle dip -pit was two miles away. Bruce Moya, project engineer, responded to
stormwater concerns.
Chmn. Barrett closed the public hearing at 10:49 p.m.
Mr. Stringer reviewed the process for land use change and rezoning and reiterated that the
Commission was not making a decision or recommendation on the annexation request.

Mayor Barnes opened the public hearing at 8:34 p.m. and the City Attorney read
the Ordinance by title. He advised that the acreage is actually 66.912 acres due
to the removal of a lateral canal and that as a first reading this is allowable since
it is a reduction, not an increase.
The Growth Management Director presented the proposed comprehensive land
use plan amendment for property scheduled for annexation based on City
Council favorable action on land use and rezoning. He advised that with Council
approval, the land use will be transmitted to the Department of Community Affairs
and upon return with comments, scheduled for a second hearing.
It was noted that this was an area considered during the impact analysis study.
The Growth Management said lot sizes have not yet been determined and will be
addressed in the preliminary development plan.
Mr. Majcher asked if Council could set a minimum lot size when considering
whether or not to annex this property, due to the fact that this is the gateway to
the City. The Growth Management Director said the PUD ordinance allows
flexibility. The City Attorney said special concerns can be incorporated.
Discussion took place on the density of 3.5 units per acre as requested.
Tim Jelus, 1688 West Hibiscus Boulevard, Melbourne, described the types of
deed restricted developments they provide, which require a higher density to
offset improvements such as curb and gutter, elaborate landscaping, open
recreation area, brick entrances, lighting, fountains, etc. He said the average
home will be 1800 to 2000 square feet at an average cost of approximately
$150,000.
MOTION by Majcher/Hill
"I would make a motion than that we would approve it based on what
the county would go for which would be 3.0 units per acre as opposed to 3.5."
The City Attorney advised that the approval being requested is only low
density residential land use for transmittal to the Department of Community
Affairs and that the appropriate time for this motion is during the next item.
The motion was withdrawn.
Jack Davis, addressed City Council on history of development in this area.
Dan Bryant, Vero Beach, supported the annexation.

CITY OF SEBASTIAN CHAPTER 1: FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
CHAPTER 1: LAND USE ELEMENT
(reference §9J-5.006(3), F.A.C.)
§1-1 FUTURE LAND USE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES. This section stipulates goals,
objectives, and implementing policies for the Land Use Element pursuant to §163.3177(6)(3), F_S., and
§9J-5.006(3), F.A.C.
GOAL 1-1: LAND USE. INSURE THAT THE CHARACTER AND LOCATION OF LAND
USES INCORPORATE BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND PRINCIPLES OF
RESOURCE CONSERVATION, PROMOTE ORDERLY LAND USE TRANSITION, AND
MINIMIZE THREATS TO HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE WHICH MAY BE
ENGENDERED BY INCOMPATIBLE LAND USES, ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION,
HAZARDS, AND NUISANCES.
OBJECTIVE 1-1.1: PLAN AND DESIGN FOR RESIDENTIAL QUALITY. Sufficient space shall
be provided for residential development and required community facilities to adequately meet the housing
needs of the present and expected future population. Residential development shall be planned and
designed to create and perpetuate stable residential neighborhood and implement policies stipulated
below.
Policy 1-1.1.1: Provide Access to Goods and Services and Protect Residential Areas from the
Adverse Impacts of Transition in Land Use. Stable residential areas and projected future residential
areas as delineated on the Land Use Map shall be protected from encroachment by incompatible
nonresidential development. This objective does not preclude necessary community facilities from
cating within residential areas when such activities satisfy established criteria of this plan and the City's
Land Development Code.
Any potential adverse impacts caused by different land uses located adjacent to each other shall be
minimized by landscaping, including vegetated berms with tree canopy, and other appropriate screening
and buffering techniques. These landscaping techniques shall be incorporated into the design of new or
redeveloping nonresidential projects located adjacent to existing or planned residential development.
Similarly, perimeter landscaping techniques shall be applied in multiple family residential developments
in order to appropriately screen and buffer existing and planned single family home sites from residential
development having differing structure types.
In addition, land development regulations shall incorporate standards and/or review criteria for mandating
retention of open space and for regulating building design, including setbacks, building placement on site,
and building orientation. These provisions shall be directed toward protecting privacy, as well as to light,
air and open space. Other reasonable design principles shall be included in the zoning code in order to
alleviate adverse impacts of potentially incompatible land uses.
Policy 1-1.1.2: Promote Orderly Land Use Transition. Where it is infeasible to separate residential
from nonresidential land uses, buffering shall be required to promote a smooth land use transition.
Buffering may take the form of: 1) physical barriers, such as vegetative berms, hedges or other landscape
cover; walls or fences aesthetically designed for screening purposes; and open space systems with dense
3.tive vegetation and tree canopy; and/or 2) the development of a transitional use between the
incompatible uses (such as low intensity office development between general retail commercial centers
and residential areas).
Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives and Policies
09/71/99 1-1
CITY OF SEBASTIAN CHAPTER 1: FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
•� Policy 1-1.1.3: Promote Orderly Transition in Residential Densities. Highest residential densities
- hall continue to be allocated to sites accessible to major thoroughfares or collector streets as identified on
Me City's Major Thoroughfare Plan (Map H-1) as well as adjacent to existing development with the same
or higher density or less restrictive zoning districts. Residential densities shall be allocated in a manner
g Y
compatible with available public services, natural features of land as well as existing and anticipated
future development.
Policy 1-1.1.4: Reinforce and Enhance Appearance of Residential Areas and Provide Amenities.
The City together with the private sector shall consider enhancing preservation of open space for scenic
vistas, especially along transportation corridors and along the Indian River, the Sebastian River,
Schumann Lake, as well as along the Schumann, Elkcam and Collier Creek Waterways or other similar
aesthetic corridors adjacent to transportation facilities. Such enhancement shall include application of
community appearance criteria which reinforces good principles of design.
Policy 1-1.1.5: Encourage Separation of Urban and Rural Land Uses. Although the City contains no
agricultural lands, the land development code shall incorporate performance standards, urban service
availability standards, and other similar incentives and disincentives which encourage a separation of
urban and rural land uses. This is necessary in order to maintain responsive land management policies
along the outer suburban fringe where urban development within the City could potentially impact
unincorporated agricultural lands.
OBJECTIVE 1-1.2: ALLOCATING COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. Commercial development
shall be comprised of a wide range of business uses. The City shall promote the image and function of
hhe central business district, the area generally located as the City's center for commerce as well as civic
_and cultural enrichment. In this pursuit the City shall enhance the identity, design, and vitality of the
waterfront corridor which provides a unique waterfront activity center within the central core area of the
City. The allocation of land resources shall consider the location and space requirements of commercial
activities and potential fiscal and environmental impacts on the City of Sebastian.
Policy 1-1.2.1: General Considerations for Locating Commercial Development. The location and
distribution of specific types of commercial activities shall be determined based on the following
considerations.
a. Trip generation characteristics, impact on existing and planned transportation facilities and ability to achieve a functional
internal circulation and off-street parking system, with landscaping amenities;
b. Location and site requirements based on specific needs of respective commercial activities, their market area, anticipated
employment generation and floor area requirements;
c. Compatibility with and impact on other surrounding commercial activities;
d. Relationship to surrounding land uses and natural systems;
e. Impact on existing and planned community services and utilities.
Policy 1-1.2.2: General Pattern of Commercial Land Use. In order to promote efficient flow of traffic
along major thoroughfares cited in the Traffic Circulation Element, achieve orderly development and
minimize adverse impact on residential quality, commercial development shall be concentrated in strate-
gically located areas having location characteristics which best accommodate specific land, site, public
facilities and market location requirements of their respective commercial uses.
Jimilarly, proliferation of strip commercial development shall not be extended. The existence of
commercial areas on one corner of an intersection shall not dictate the development of all corners with the
same or similar use; nor does the existence of commercial development on a major thoroughfare dictate
that all frontage must be similarly used.

Policy 1-1.2.3: Improve the Image and Function of the Downtown as the Central Commercial Core
rea. Commercial development decisions shall promote the function of the Downtown central
.,ommercial core area as a center for government and institutional services as well as a focal point for
retail trade, business and professional offices, and civic and cultural enrichment. Land development
regulations shall be directed to achieving a mix of land use activities consistent with Future Land Use
Map policies.
The City shall coordinate with the residents, Chamber of Commerce and the private sector interest groups
concerned with enhancing the Downtown in order to direct efforts to achieve a public and private
partnership in improving the image and function of the Downtown central commercial core area,
including the waterfront corridor. Design strategies shall provide a physical theme for development and
redevelopment opportunities which reinforces the unique waterfront setting of the Downtown area, along
the Indian River Dr. and U.S. 1 corridors, spanning north from Fellsmere Road (CR 512) to Oyster Bay
Pointe and west on Main Street to the Post Office.
Policy 1-1.2.4: Prepare a Redevelopment Plan for Enhancing the Identity Design, and Vitality of
the City's Riverfront Corridor. The Riverfront corridor shall be the subject of periodic special planning
and management studies as determined by the City Council which shall be coordinated closely with the
residents, Chamber of Commerce and other interest groups concerned with promoting improvements
along this waterfront corridor (Cross-reference Objectives 1-1.2 and 1-3.2). The Riverfront shall be
defined as the area of the City east of the railroad tracks from the north City limit to the south City limit
on US 1. These studies shall investigate actions deemed to be necessary by the City Council to achieve.-
Improvements
chieve:
Improvements in architectural design of the Riverfront corridor which enhance the identity of this unique resource;
• Private sector investment in improvements which further the City's waterfront corridor redevelopment objectives;
• Public sector plans for generating incentives for realizing a meaningful public-private partnership in waterfront corridor
redevelopment;
• A market sensitive and economically feasible redevelopment plan, management strategy, and regulatory performance
criteria for implementing these redevelopment objectives and policies; and
• Design alternatives for accommodating pedestrian user needs, including a circulation system which facilitates pedestrian
mobility. Vehicular traffic should be directed along U.S. 1 and parking areas should be developed.
Policy 1-1.2.5: Provide Appropriate Locations for Office Development. Office development shall be
encouraged to locate on accessible sites on US 1 and CR 512. Office development may serve as a
transitional use separating more intensive commercial uses from residential development. Office
development shall also locate along the outer fringe of the Downtown area where such development may
encourage reinvestment in declining residential areas surrounding the business district.
Policy 1-1.2.6: Designate Various Types of Commercial Nodes to Accommodate Diverse
Commercial Uses. A variety of commercial development designations shall be provided in order to
adequately assure availability of sites that accommodate the varied site and spatial requirements for such
activities as: professional and business offices, limited commercial activities, and general retail sales and
services.
The allocation of commercial uses shall recognize that respective commercial activities frequently have
:ifferent site, spatial, and market area characteristics and generate significantly different impacts.
'61milarly, the commercial development designations on the Land Use Map shall be complemented by
zoning, performance standards, and site plan -review requirements which shall regulate development on
such land. These regulations shall assure that the proposed development of commercially designated sites
is appropriate and can be adapted to the proposed site.

OBJECTIVE 1-1.3: PLANNING FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. Sufficient land shall be
allocated to accommodate industrial development.
Policy 1-1.3.1: General Considerations for Locating Industrial Development. The allocation of land
resources for industrial development shall be responsive to the location and space requirements of
industrial activities and potential fiscal and environmental impacts on the City of Sebastian. The location
and distribution of specific types of industrial activities shall be determined based on the following
considerations:
a. Trip generation characteristics and impact on existing and planned transportation systems, including dependency on rail,
air, or trucking for distribution of material and goods;
b. Anticipated employment generation, floor area requirements, and market area;
c. Ability to meet established performance standards for preventing or minimizing nuisance impacts, such as emission of air
pollutants, glare, noise or odor, or generation of hazardous by-products;
d. Impact on established as well as anticipated future development and natural systems; and
t Impact on existing and planned public services, utilities, water resources, and energy resources.
Policy 1-1.3.2: General Pattern of Industrial Land Use. The City of Sebastian Airport and environs
contains the principal area for future industrial activity. A secondary industrial concentration is situated
along the FEC Railroad at CR 512. Lesser concentrations of industrial development are situated along
other segments of the FEC Railroad. A high priority shall be given to reserving strategically located lands
adaptive to the unique location requirements of industry. Industrial sites shall generally be allocated in
areas accessible to rail corridors or near airport facilities.
Policy 1-1.3.3: Pursue Selective Industrial Expansion Policy. The City shall pursue a strategy of
selective expansion of its industrial base. The City shall encourage industries that contribute optimally to
the City's economy and that of the Treasure Coast and Space Coast. Highest priority shall be directed
toward recruiting industries which:
a. Generate high levels of employment together with higher than average wage and salaries;
b. Promote an industrial mix to counterbalance the impact of cyclical economic changes;
c. Produce services and/or products which complement the needs and resources of existing industry within City and the
region.
d. Provide industry and service activities required to support and attract prime industrial land uses which are compatible with
the City's growth management and resource conservation goals, objectives and policies;
e. Contribute a net revenue to the City of Sebastian and thus enhancing the fiscal capacity of the City; and
f. Do not adversely impact the City's natural resources including groundwater quality; infrastructure; and public facility
improvement needs. The City shall seek to work in partnership with industrial development interest groups to achieve
competitive amenity packages including:
• Requisite transportation system improvements and other on- or off-site improvements;
• Access to public potable water and wastewater services;
• Efficient stormwater management systems; and
• Maintenance of adopted levels of services for infrastructure systems.

mpacts frequently associated with industrial activities by maintaining performance standards for
.nanaging emission of noise, air pollutants, odor, vibration, fire or explosive hazard, and glare.
Similarly land shall be allocated to industrial uses in a manner which allows for separation and co -
location of industrial activities capable of complying with the most restrictive performance standards and
exhibiting minimal adverse impacts on surrounding development.
OBJECTIVE 1-1.4: ACCOMMODATE INSTITUTIONAL FACILITIES AND PUBLIC
SERVICES. The City shall assure that needed public services and facilities are developed concurrent
with new development, including adoption of an adequate facilities ordinance within the City's land
development code. In addition, the City shall use the capital improvement program and budget process to
pursue advance acquisition of land required to provide recreation, conservation, and related public
benefits and promote multiple use of public lands.
Policy 1-1.4.1: Coordinate Public and Private Investments in Land Improvements. The location,
scale, timing, and design of necessary public and semi-public services and utilities shall be closely
coordinated with development activities in order to promote more effective and efficient delivery of
requisite services and utilities.
Policy 1-1.4.2: Maintain and Enforce Standards and Specifications for Design and Construction of
Public and Semi -Public Services. The City shall maintain and enforce appropriate standards and
specifications for the design and construction of public and semi-public services in order to promote cost
effectiveness and quality control consistent with all applicable federal, state, regional, and local standards.

storm drainage and water and wastewater facilities.
Policy 1-1.4.3: Provision of On -Site and Off -Site Improvements. Prior to receiving a development
permit, plans for all new development shall be evaluated by the City. Similarly, prior to receiving a
development permit, the applicant's plans must incorporate necessary on- and off-site improvements or
equitable contributions in lieu thereof which are required as part of a development application pursuant to
the Comprehensive Plan or any other requirement of the Code of Ordinances, as exists or as may
hereinafter be amended.
In cases involving unpaved roads adjacent to a proposed development, the applicant shall be required to
pave the portion of the road which the development will be utilizing. The applicant shall not be required
to pave adjacent unpaved roads if the development will not be accessing those roads. In cases of
insufficient rights-of-way adjacent to a proposed development, the applicant shall be required to donate
the land necessary to make the rights-of-way compliant with the requirements of the Land Development
Code.
Supportive facilities, services, or other improvements (or equitable contributions in lieu thereof), as
required by ordinance, shall be agreed to by the applicant prior to City approval of a development petition
and facilities shall be constructed as agreed upon prior to issuance of a development permit. The intent of
this policy is that all development applications include a satisfactory plan providing for the development
of required on-site and off-site improvements, or equitable contribution in lieu thereof, in order to assure
;ghat the City of Sebastian does not assume unanticipated fiscal liabilities for supportive facilities and
services which may be expressly attributed to new development.

OBJECTIVE 1-2.1: ALLOCATING RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. Map I-1, identifying
future land use policy, shall allocate residential density based on the following considerations: past and
projected future population and housing trends and characteristics; provision and maintenance of quality
residential environments; protection of environmentally fragile natural systems; the need to plan for
smooth transition in residential densities; and provision and maintenance of traffic circulation and
multiple -family improvements. Redevelopment, rehabilitation, and/or renovation of existing structures
shall also be required to meet acceptable level as indicated in the Land Development Code. This
objective shall be measured through implementation of the following policies.
Policy 1-2.1.1: Density Defined. Maximum gross residential density shall be determined by dividing the
"maximum allowable units" by the "gross land area" (i.e., dwelling units/gross land area). All residential
densities denoted on the Future Land Use Map stipulate the maximum gross densities permitted for
development on the land. Gross land area shall be defined as those contiguous land areas under common
ownership proposed for residential development. In cases where residential land abuts waters of the
State, the boundary shall be delineated as established by the State and no density credit shall be granted
for waters of the State. In cases where residential land abuts other natural floodplains or wetlands, the
land development regulations shall provide performance standards and/or criteria which may further
restrict the character of land for which density credit may be granted. The intent is to allocate density
credits only to those lands which are buildable pursuant to urban design criteria. These criteria shall be
incorporated within the land development regulations.
Density is expressed in terms of a range up to a specified maximum. Where so stated as a range, the
maximum' density is not guaranteed by right. Subdivision, zoning and site plan review criteria and
procedures shall assure that specific density assigned to new development is compatible and consistent
Comprehensive Plan Goals, objectives and Policies
n0 `1 100

CITY OF SEBASTIAN CHAPTER 1: FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
with established residential development patterns and provides equitable use of the land. Criteria to be
Insidered in allocating density shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
a. Protect the integrity and stability of established residential areas;
b. Assure smooth transition in residential densities;
c. Require application of sound landscaping and urban design principles and practices;
d. Protect environmentally sensitive areas;
e. Minimize the impact of flood hazards;
f. Coordinate with Indian River County as well as appropriate state and regional agencies charged with managing land and
water resources; and
g. Provide reasonable use of the land.
Policy 1-2.1.3: Low Density Residential Development (LDR). Areas delineated on the Future Land
Use Map for low density residential development shall accommodate residential development with a
maximum density of up to five (5) dwelling units per acre and shall be comprised primarily of single
family detached homes on individual lots. Specific densities will be determined by such factors as natural
features of the land, density and/or intensity of developed and/or undeveloped land surrounding
development, level of accessibility, housing supply and demand, adequacy of public facilities, consumer
preference and other factors which may be identified in the land development regulations. Supportive
community facilities and accessory land uses may be located within areas designated for single family
low density residential uses. The land development regulations shall provide regulatory procedures for
considering such uses. The low density designation is established to protect:
• the quality and character of existing low density single family neighborhoods;
• preserve open space;
encourage densities wluch are compatible with existing and anticipated future developments;
promote compatibility Nvith natural features of the land; and,
• minimize burden on existing and projected supportive public services and facilities within the area.
Policy 1-2.1.4: Medium Density Residential Development (NIDR). Areas delineated on the Future
Land Use Map for medium density residential development shall be developed, redeveloped and/or
maintained as stable medium density residential neighborhoods. Medium density residential development
ranges up to a maximum of eight (8) units per acre and generally averages six (6) units per acre. The City
shall allow a duplex to be constructed on any undeveloped 10,000 square foot lot existing on March 4,
1998 which is indicated as Medium Density Residential on the Future Land Use Map.
The medium density designation is intended to provide sufficient land area for developments of medium
density residential development adequately supported by public services and facilities and compatible
with existing and anticipated future land uses. The medium density policy designation includes a mixture
of single and multiple family structure types. Supportive community facilities and accessory land uses
may be located within areas designated MDR. The City land development regulations shall provide
regulatory procedures for considering such uses.
Review of specific densities of developments shall be directed toward preserving stability of established
residential areas. Sites for medium density residential developments should be located so that they
provide a smooth transition between lower density residential areas and areas developed and/or
designated for other more intense uses. Generally, medium density areas should be located between the
arimeter of low density residential areas and areas of high density residential concentrations.

"'4 policy 1-2.1.5: High Density Residential Development (HDR). High density residential development
nges up to a maximum twelve (12) units per acre and generally averages ten (10) units per acre. The
high density policy designation is intended to provide sufficient acreage for high density residential
development which shall be adequately supported by public services and facilities, and maintain
compatibility with the surrounding area.
The specific areas designated for high density development shall be accessible to existing or anticipated
future major thoroughfares and requisite utilities. In addition, these areas generally shall be highly acces-
sible to commercial services. Specific density of future development proposals within these areas shall
provide for smooth transition in residential density, preserve stability of established residential areas, and
shall include sufficient open space, parking and landscaping to reinforce goals and objectives for quality
living areas.
Policy 1-2.1.6: Mobile Home Development. Mobile home residential development shall be permitted
on sites appropriately zoned for mobile home development. The density of the mobile home parks or
subdivisions shall be permitted up to a maximum of five (5) units per acre; however, specific site
densities must be consistent with the policy, map and standards of the Comprehensive Plan and Land
Development Code. The more restrictive density provision shall rule where any inconsistency may exist.
Review of specific densities shall be directed toward preserving the established residential development.
Replacement of existing mobile homes in existing mobile home plats and sites of record, as of the
effective date of this ordinance, shall be permitted and shall not be deemed inconsistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
;:Iobile homes shall be reviewed as reasonable development options but the applicant shall provide plans
—for mobile home development which assure that the development contains a significant open space buffer.
Natural landscaping, including a landscaped berm where appropriate, upper story tree canopy and lower
story shrubbery, and/or an aesthetic decorative wall or fence to effectively screen the mobile home
development from adjacent residential development which exists or may potentially exist in the future.
OBJECTIVE 1-2.2: ALLOCATING COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. The Future Land Use
Map shall identify the allocation of commercial land for: 1) limited commercial development, including
offices; 2) general commercial development, including offices; and 3) Riverfront mixed use. The
allocation of land for commercial development shall be compatible with goals and objectives identified in
the Comprehensive Plan and consistent with supportive research and analysis. The policies stated below
provide an explanation of the purpose, intent and character of the commercial land use designations.
POLICY 1-2.2.2: LIMITED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. Limited commercial development
is allocated to commercial sites accessible to major thoroughfares near residential neighborhoods. The
maximum intensity of limited commercial development measured in floor -to -area ratios is 0.35 for sites 5
acres or less; 0.5 for sites over 5 to 20 acres; and 0.75 for sites more than 20 acres. Sites within this
designation are intended to accommodate shops with limited inventory or goods as well as transient
lodging facilities meeting performance standards of the Comprehensive Plan and the zoning code. This
designation is intended to accommodate residential development only as a special use. Duly approved
residential uses existing at the effective date of the Comprehensive Plan shall be deemed permitted uses.
Limited Commercial activities shall include shops catering to the following markets:
• Neighborhood residential markets within the immediate vicinity as opposed to county -wide or regional markets; or
• Specialized markets with customized market demands.
Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives and Policies
CITY OF SEBASTIAN CHAPTER 1: FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
Commercial development within the limited commercial district shall generally be restricted to any uses
ermitted in the commercial office district as well as the following uses:
• Neighborhood convenience stores;
• Small limited item shops and stores restricted to retail sales of convenience items and services including barber, beauty
care, and other personal services;
• Small scale drug stores, laundry and dry cleaning pick-up stations;
• Specialty shops; and
• Motels or other living accommodations for transient residents generally residing on a seasonal basis.
Areas designated for limited commercial development are not intended to accommodate large scale retail
sales, service, and trade activities, generally serving a county -wide or regional market. Such stores
usually differ from limited commercial shops since the former usually require a larger floor area, carry a
relatively larger inventory, and require a substantially greater parking area.
Uses, which are not intended to be accommodated within the limited commercial area include the
following: large scale discount stores, health spas; supermarkets, department stores; full service hardware
stores; wholesale and warehousing activities; general appliance shops; printing shops; sales, service or
repair of motor vehicles, machine equipment or accessory parts, including tire and battery shops; gas and
automotive service centers; commercial amusements; fast food establishments primarily serving in
disposable containers and/or providing drive-in facilities, and other similar services to be expressly
defined in the zoning ordinance.
'olicy 1-2.2.3: General Commercial Development (CG). The general commercial (CG) areas are
designated on the Future Land Use Map for purposes of accommodating general retail sales and services;
highway oriented sales and services; and other general commercial activities defined in the land develop-
ment regulations. The general commercial land use designation is intended to include the hub of retail
sales and services within the downtown as well as within the outer environs of the downtown. General

1998, the City of Sebastian shall maintain land development regulations which ensure that future land
uses shall be compatible with the Future Land Use Map, and other applicable laws, ordinances, and
administrative rules regulating land and water resource management. Similarly, if improvements are
proposed to an existing structure which do not conform or comply with regulations governing use,
setbacks, size, dimensions, height, density, or other location criteria, then: 1) in no case shall any existing
non -conforming or non -complying structures be increased; and 2) any existing non -complying structures
shall be eliminated or reduced to the greatest reasonable and practical extent.
The amended land development regulations shall include administrative procedures which ensure that any
development order approved by the City impacting population density within the coastal area is
coordinated with the Indian River County Hurricane Evacuation Plan and applicable regional or State
hurricane evacuation plans. Additionally, the City shall eliminate uses that are inconsistent with any
interagency hazard mitigation report deemed appropriate by the City. This objective shall be measured
through implementation of the following policies.
Policy 1-3.4.1: Managing Future Land Use. The Future Land Use Map and related policies together

__ '._onforming Uses. The Land Development Code standards regulating improvements to existing non-
complying structures as well as changes to non -conforming uses shall continue to be applied. Such
standards shall continue to require that plans for alterations to non -complying uses incorporate improve-
ments to bring the subject structure into compliance to the greatest reasonable and practical extent. In no
case shall any existing non-compliance be increased. Similarly, no non -conforming use may be enlarged
without reducing the extent of the non -conformity.
Policy 1-3.4.3: Interagency Hazard Mitigation Reports. Interagency hazard mitigation report shall
mean the recommendations of a team of federal, state, regional, or local officials which address measures
to reduce the potential for future flood losses and which is prepared in response to a Presidential Disaster
Declaration.
