Fischer is requesting a large-scale land use map amendment for a 25.55+/- acre tract of land situated immediately south of Cross -Creek Subdivision, west of Powerline Road, south of Barber Street, and north of CR 510. The current land use designation for the subject parcel is R (Residential Iunit/acre (County)), while the current zoning is A-1 (Agricultural 1 unit/acre). Mr. Fischer is requesting annexation of said parcel with a land use of LDR (Low Density 5 units/acre) and corresponding zoning of RS -10 (9,500 SF minimum lot size). The property is slated to become phase 11 of Cross Creek Subdivision, which is proposed to contain 134 single family residential lots with minimum lot size of 95' x 135'. A similar design is anticipated for the subject parcel. On January 12, 2005 City Council approved the transmittal of the proposed comprehensive plan land use map amendments to the Department of Community Affairs. Their Objection, Recommendations and Comments report is based on their review of three proposed annexations. Since that transmittal and report was received in April one annexation request has withdrawn and one was denied at first reading. Attached is a copy of DCA's report for your review. Issues that will need to be addressed for the Cross Creek amendment only have been noted. If the land use map amendment is approved by City Council, information requested by DCA will be forwarded with the approved Ordinance for a Comprehensive Plan compliance determination.

Fischer is requesting a large scale land use map amendment for a 25.55+/- acre tract of land situated immediately south of Cross -Creek Subdivsion — west of Powerline Road south of F Barber Street and north of CR 510. The current land use designation for the subject parcel is R (Residential 1 unit/acre (County)), while the current zoning is A-1 (Agricultural 1 unit/acre). Mr. Fischer is requesting annexation of said parcel with a land use of LDR (Low Density 5 units/acre) and corresponding zoning of RS -10 (10,000 SF minimum lot size). The property is slated to become phase II of Cross Creek Subdivision, which is proposed to contain 150 single family residential lots with minimum lot size of 95' x 135'. A similar design is anticipated for the subject parcel. b. Current Zoning: A-1 (County - Agriculture) C.

Comprehensive Plan Consistency a. Future Land Use: Consistent b. Traffic Circulation: Consistent c: Public Facilities: Consistent 2 d. Housing: Consistent e. Coastal Management: Consistent Recreation and Open Space: Consistent g. Conservation: Consistent h. Intergovernmental Coordination: Consistent 10. Conformance with Code of Ordinances: Consistent 11. Changed Conditions: Site is currently vacant un -developed land, with proposed change to single-family residential. 12. Land Use Compatibility: Adjacent properties to the north and east are designated low density residential, while the property immediately south is designated for low density residential within the County. There will be a negligible impact caused by the proposed land use change due to the similarity of the existing uses in the area. Additionally, the infrastructure improvements slated as an element of the proposed project will enhance the viability and sustainability of the area. 13. Adequate Public Facilities: Provided — public utilities (water, wastewater) will be incorporated within the development of the proposed subdivision, and the existing lake will double a stormwater detention basin. 14. Natural Environment: The proposed Subdivision will contain the requisite open space as required by land development regulations. 15. Economic Effect: provided — The property is currently not within the corporate limits of the City of Sebastian. Annexation will provide an additional 25.55 +/- acres of land area, which in turn enhance the value of the property and increase tax revenues to the City. 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 (although adjacent on three sides to City boundaries), it is adjacent to the urban service area, and would most likely be better served by municipal services. The proposed change to a single-family residential is consistent with the future goals and objectives of the City of Sebastian. Therefore, staff finds that the proposed annexation/land use change is not in conflict with public interest. 3 18. 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: Mr. Henry A. Fischer is requesting a large scale land use map amendment for a 25.55+/- acre tract of land situated immediately south of Cross -Creek Subdivsion — west of Powerline Road south of Barber Street and north of CR 510. The current land use designation for the subject parcel is R (Residential 1 unit/acre (County)), while the current zoning is A-1 (Agricultural 1 unit/acre). Mr. Fischer is requesting annexation of said parcel with a land use of LDR (Low Density 5 units/acre) and corresponding zoning of RS -10 (10,000 SF minimum lot size). The property is slated to become phase II of Cross Creek Subdivision, which is proposed to contain 150 single family residential lots with minimum lot size of 95'x 135'. A similar design is anticipated for the subject parcel. 20. Conclusion: The requested land use change from R (County) to LDR is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Code and Code of Ordinances. 21. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the requested land use change with the following condition: 1. The land use change shall be conditioned upon receipt of annexation approval by the City Council.

Please include data indicating the SMQ „current and projected demands on roadways based on projected growth and programmed funding. lnf? Objection to amendment 1 (Cypress Bend Subdivision) W j7+D�2AwN The supporting data and analysis raises questions as to the suitability of the site due to environmentally sensitive and protected lands. The western edge of the property is adjacent to the southern end of the St. Sebastian River. The amendment package states that the development plan will require conservation easements and preservation measures to ensure compliance with protection of areas of critical State concern. [Rule 9J-5.013 (3), F.A.C., and Section 163.3177 (6)(d), F.S.] Recommendation to amendment 1 (Cypress Bend Subdivision) Provide information as to the extent of sensitive and protected lands located on site in terms of acreage and a detailed map. Also, identify the type of sensitive and protected lands on site. Additionally, discuss how the development plan will ensure a conservation easement or other preservation measures will protect the sensitive areas or areas of critical State concern. The City should consider a clustering approach to development of this site to avoid impacts to onsite resources. II. CONSISTENCY WITH THE STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The supporting data and analysis does not demonstrate the amendments are consistent with the goals and policies of the State Comprehensive Plan Chapter 187, Florida Statutes: Goal, 15(a) Land Use, Policies 15(b)6 and Goal 19(a) Transportation,Policies 19(b)3 and 13.

Ray Eubanks, Administrator Plan Review and Processing Florida Department of Community Affairs 2555 Shumard Oak Boulevard Tallahassee, FL 32399-2100 Subject: Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment DCA Amendment # Sebastian 05-1 Dear Mr. Eubanks: St. Johns River Water Management District (District) staff have reviewed the above -referenced proposed comprehensive plan amendment. The proposed amendment consists of three changes to the City of Sebastian's future land use map. The District staff review focuses on water supply availability and related water resource issues in an effort to link land use planning and water supply planning, In the review of water supply availability, District staff consider infrastructure, permitted allocation under consumptive use permits, and source. District staff comments are provided below. The submittal package identified Indian River County Utilities as the utility service provider for areas subject to the map changes. District water use compliance staff indicate that the growth rate in the utility's service area is greater than the growth rate provided for in the utility's District -issued consumptive use permit (CUP). The utility's consultant has informed District water use compliance staff that an application for a CUP modification C will be submitted. Thus, before adopting this amendment, City staff should coordinate with the utility service provider to ensure that the anticipated increase in population growth and water demand from the areas subject to V -k\0 the map changes are accounted for in the application for a CUP modification. We appreciate the opportunity to provide comments.

We reviewed three proposed amendments to the Future Land Use Map to consider the potential effects of these actions on historic resources. While our cursory review suggests that the proposed changes may have no adverse effects on historic resources, it is the city's responsibility to ensure that the proposed revisions will not have an adverse effect on significant archaeological or historic resources in the City of Sebastian. We do have some concerns about the Cypress Bend Subdivision (Parcel #1) and The Hammocks (Parcel #3). Although these tracts do not contain any sites listed in the Florida Master Site File or the National -elRegister of Historic Places, it remains the city's responsibility to ensure that potentially significant Ghistoric resources will not be adversely affected by these actions. Both parcels appear to have at least p moderate archaeological site probability. The most effective way to guarantee that such sites are not damaged is for the city to sponsor or require historic resource surveys so that it can ensure its archaeological resources and historic structures fifty years of age or older will be considered when substantive changes in land use are proposed. If you have any questions regarding our comments, please feel free to contact Susan M. Harp of the Division's Compliance Review staff at (850) 245-6333. Sincerely, rFrederick Gaske, Director 500 S.

Water and sewer will be available. Comments: The western edge .of the parcel is adjacent to. the south prong of the .St .Sebastian River. This portion of the river is part of the St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park, a 36,600 acre preserve. The preserve consists predominately of mesic flatwoods with smaller areas of depression marsh, basin swamp, strand swamp, bottomland forests, scrubby flatwoods, scrub and sandhill. The presen-e was originally intended to protect the St. Sebastian River but its role has expanded to include protection and access to large areas of high quality uplands. The only wetlands appear .to be adjacent to the river. The .predominate soils .underlying the parcel are generally poorly drained Oldsmar and Immokalee soils. These soils are identified in the Soil Survey.of Indian River County -as having .potential for_excessive wetness, ponding.and .high water table during rainy periods. According to the best -lata available .to the Department, the parcel lies in an area .of high recharge to the Surficial Aquifer (180-199 on the DRASTIC Index). Surface land uses and "More Protection, Less Process" Ray .Eubanks March 15, 2005 Page 2 activities in .this .area :can .have .direct impacts .to groundwater. Under section .62-40.3I.0(1)(h), FA.C., the Department's review of all programs, rules, and plans seeks to "protect aquifers from depletion through water conservation and preservation of the functions of high recharge areas." Recommendations: Development of.this parcel may hydrologically affect and likely reduce natural watershed functions such as the collection, storage, filtering and discharge of runoff. As a result, non -point .source runoff into .the . Sebastian River watershed will be an issue.of.concern. The Department recommends that the applicant consider a full range of planning strategies to minimize impacts to groundwater. and nearby wetlands .by limiting impervious surfaces.atad .clustering structures away from wetland areas and reserving much of the land as open space for a common view in .accordance with Rule 9J-5.006(5)(1)..Stormwater treatment should .he .designed .to maintain .the natural predevelopment hydro—period and water quality, as well as to protect the natural functions of the adjacent wetlands. Prior to finalizing infi-astructure.development plans for -the subject parcels, we recommend that delineation and water management district verification of the landward extent.of wetlands and surface waters be obtained, in accordance with guidelines of Rule 62-340, F.A. C. Wetlands within the parcel should be designated "Conservation" to prevent encroachment after initial construction, even if -surrounding land use designations are later amended.

FD PAPER DISTRICT 4, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OBJECTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS & COMMENTS RESPONSIBLE DIVISIONBUREAU: Planning_ Department NAME OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT: Cjjy of Sebastian DATE PLAN RECEIVED FROM LOCAL GOVERNMENT. 2/15/05 DATE ME 40RANDLTM RECEIVED FROM DCA. 2/18/05 REQUIRED RETURN DATE FOR COMMENTS: 3/18/05 ELEMENT: Various annexed parcels Future Land Use Element DCA Amendment # 05-1 RULE DEFICIENCY; 9J -5.005(2)(a), 9J -5.006(2)(a), 9J 5.006(3)(b)1, 91-5.019(3Kd) The three proposed Future Land Use amendments, which include Cypress Bend Subdivision Ord. # 0- 05-02 (46 acres), Cross Creek Subdivision Ord. #0-05-05 (26 acres), and The Hammocks Ord. #0-05- 08 (40 acres), would change the designated land use from County low density land uses of generally one unit per acre or less, to City Low Residential designation up to five units per acre. OBJECTION: The City does not provide a cumulative traffic impact analysis, based on the maximum potential development, to address impacts this proposed amendment would have on the current and future roadway network, including I-95, a Florida Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) facility. DISCUSSION: z 0 Data and analysis necessary to support staff's determination that traffic impacts would not adversely affect the current and future roadway network levels of service was not provided. An analysis of the long-term impacts of the proposed changes in land use on the surrounding roadway network, including the 1-95/CR-512 interchange, is necessary to ensure that future transportation needs can be met. Land development activity of a low density nature has been increasing both in Sebastian and in Fellesmere over the last few years. If this trend continues, sprawl -like growth patterns with no significant trip attractors in the area point to a likelihood that I-95 and US 1 will be heavily relied upon v to reach commercial activity centers some distance away, and therefore the need to address potential future impacts to the SIS and the regional roadway network as a result. RECOI♦ AMNDATIONS: v, The City should provide a comprehensive and complete transportation analysis, based on the maximum allowable land uses, to identify peak hour, peak direction level of service impacts, with and without the proposed amendment. This transportation analysis should address short- and long-range impacts to 1-95, including the I-95/CR-512 interchange, and how the City will mitigate identified impacts to the roadway network.

Under the provisions of this law, the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) prepares an Objections, .Recommendations, and Comments (ORC) Report on a proposed amendment only if requested to do so by the local government, the regional planning council, an affected person, or if an ORC Report is otherwise deemed necessary by the DCA. If the local government requests DCA to prepare an ORC Report, then Council must provide DCA with its own objections, recommendations for modification, and comments on the proposed amendment within 30 days of its receipt. Background The City of Sebastian has proposed three amendments to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the City's comprehensive Plan. The City has requested that the DCA undertake a formal review of the amendments. The FLUM amendments are summarized in Table 1 and their locations are shown on the attached maps.

The property was previously used as a citrus grove, but the grove is no longer productive. The proposed use is as a gated, residential subdivision. The -current FLUM designation under the County Plan is Conservation (C-3) which allows a maximum of 1 unit per 2.5 acres. The proposed designation under the City Plan is Low Density Residential (LDR) which allows a maximum of 5 dwelling units. per acre. Existing land uses on surrounding properties include a Boy Scout Camp to the north, single-family residential units to the south and east, and the St. Sebastian River and Buffer Preserve to the west. The surrounding FLUM designations are C-3 to the north, LDR to the south and east and Public, a County designation, to the west. Access to this new subdivision will be limited to Gardenia Street at the southeast quadrant of the property. The developer will be required to reconstruct Gardenia Street as a complete, two-lane roadway. The City indicates that this will improve access for the surrounding neighborhoods. The City indicates that they will require consen,•ation easements and preservation measures in order to provide protection to the 1 � 1 environmentally sensitive lands along the river. The City anticipates no adverse impacts on existing levels of service, including roadways. The City considers the proposed amendments to be compatible with uses on adjoining properties and with the conservation of sensitive environmental lands. 2. Amendment 05-05 (Cross Creek Addition) — this 25.6 acre property is located at the southeast boundary of the City. The property was previously used for agricultural Purposes and is currently vacant. The proposed use is for the extension of an existing subdivision. The current FLUM designation under the County Plan is Residential (R), which allows a maximum of 1 dwelling unit per acre.

The City indicates that the County previously initiated a joint planning process for this area. The purpose of this process, which included the County, the City, the Sebastian Water Control District, and the landowners as participants, was to identify necessary public infrastructure. The result was an agreed upon public road and sidewalk network that would connect residential areas with the schools and commercial areas. Extraiurisdictional Impacts Letters were sent to Indian River County, the Indian River County School District and the Indian River Metropolitan Planning Organization seeking comments regarding the compatibility of these amendments with existing plans. Effects on Significant Regional Resources or Facilities Analysis of the proposed amendment indicates that it would not have adverse effects on significant regional resources or facilities.
