Approval of site plan by Indian River County Fire Department and Environmental Health Department. Based upon the Planning and Zoning Commission action, this multi -family development has been approved for construction. In order to convey ownership of the individual townhouse units, a subdivision must also be approved for the creation of the individual lots. At their meeting of September 15, 2005, following 0 a review of the preliminary plat, the Planning and Zoning Commission made a recommendation to City Council to approve the preliminary plat for Gables at Sebastian. 16.
