SUMMARY
The Coy A. Clark Company is requesting a large-scale land use map amendment for a 56+/- acre tract of land
situated along Powerline Road north of Sebastian Elementary School and south of Main Street adjacent to
Sebastian Highlands Unit 1. The current land use designation for this parcel of land is L-2 (Residential
6units/acre (County)), while the current zoning is A-1 (Agricultural 1 unit/acre). The Coy A. Clark Company
is requesting annexation of said parcel with a land use of LDR (Low Density 5 units/acre) and corresponding
zoning of PUD -R (Planned Unit Development — Residential). The property is currently undeveloped,
undisturbed land proposed for development of 195 single-family residential homes, for a density of 3.47
units/acre, well below the 5 units/acre permitted under the LDR designation or the 6 units/acre currently
permitted within the existing L-2 (County) designation. The proposed project also includes improving
Powerline Road from the subdivisions western access point north approximately 570'+/- to the north property
boundary. Pelican Isles lies immediately north, and said project will include improvements to Powerline from
Main Street south to the Ashbury Subdivision. In addition, the primary subdivision access point will be via
the proposed extension of South Wimbrow from Sebastian Boulevard on a northwesterly direction to the
southeast corner of Ashbury.
Although details of the subdivision have been provided herein, this application entails only review for
consistency with the land use element of the comprehensive development plan. Further details regarding
specific site development plans will be provided during the rezoning/conceptual development plan review
to follow upon completion of the Department of Community Affairs review of this application. However,
please feel free to contact Growth Management staff should you have any question with regards to this
application, or should you desire to review the conceptual development plan.
