Solln, Jr., AZCP, Planntng Consultant SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Land Use Hap Pollcy for the $6t Acre Tract Comprising the Southwest Quadrant of the State Road 512 and Laconia Street intersection Thts memorandum ts wrttten to clartfy the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Hap pollcy for land located southwest of the State Road 512 and Laconta Street Intersec- tion. General Co,eercial Designation Approximately 14.87 acres of land are designated for general commercial-develop- ment at the southwest corner of the intersection of State Road 512 and Laconta Street. Thts designation ftrst appeared on the Proposed Land Use Plan for the City of Sebastian prepared by the Indtan Rtver County Planntng and Zoning Department durtng ~979-1980. This land ts one of the few remelntn~ unplatted sites along the State Road 5~2 corridor. The site ts htghly accessible to residential areas within the Sebastian Highlands vta Barber Street which serves the northwest and southwest Highlands. In addition, the site ls located at the southern termtnus of Roseland Road whtch serves major residential settlements north of the site, north to Roseland. Finally, the stte ts accessibly located near Veto Lake Estates westward along the State Road 512 corridor. The 14.87± acres commercial stte was designated to serve as a community shopptng center by the year 1990-2000. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan Nap has set the subject stte aslde tn order to accommodate projected long term shopping needs of residents anticipated to restde tn residential areas wtthtn a 3 to 5 mtle radius. Medium Density Residential Development Approximately 34.32 acres are delineated on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map for medium density residential development. Stmtlar to the cmmerctal site identified above, this land is also accessible to mjor artertal and collector streets within the City of Sebastian and adjacent areas. The Housing Eloment of the Comprehensive Plan identified that the City of Sebastian lacks developed sites for multtple famtly residential structure types. The subject site was viewed by Soltn and Associates, INC., (SAI) as tdeal for acco,mnodattng medium MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN EiOCIETY OF CONEtULTIN(~ I=/ANNERB PAGE 2 denstty residential structures. Notwithstanding, SA! was concerned about the posstble tmpacts of the planned multlple famtly houstng on stngle famtly platted lands along the south stde of Granduer Avenue. Low Den$tty Residential Development Approximately 16.8! acres of ]and on the subject stte are designated for lo~ denstty development. Thts denstty ts Incorporated tnto the overal] Comprehen- sive Plan for the subject 66~ acres tn order to assure a more stable land use transition between the commrctal and multtple famtly residential area to the north and the p]atted stngle famtly houstng along the south slde of Srenduer Avenue. The lots along the south stde of Granduer Avenue are larger than most of the residential lots wtthtn Sebastian Highlands. Therefore, SA! was parttcu . larly concerned wtth protecting the stability of these relatively htgh value lots. Additional Considerations, !ncludtng Drainage The 66~ acre tract ts located tn an area ~htch dretns poorly. A detatled site analysts ts requtred to determine the posstble presence of small ~etland areas. This observation ts noted tn order to assure that persons vte~tng the ulttmate development capactt~ of the stte do not over-estimate 1ts abtltt~ to accommodate development alternatives. SA! recommends that the Ctty encourage the land o~ner to pursue developmont opttons under a planned untt development zontng designation. !n thts manner, the developer would be able to enjoy more flexibility tn accommodating Innova- 'tire stte deslgn. On the other hand, through a planned untt development concept the Ctty would have a more desirable ]and management program for administering development of the slte to assure that the dtverse uses permitted on the proper° ty are suttab]y located. Such controls mould better protect adjacent residen- tial property o~ners and better assure that envtronmontally fregtle lands are preserved.

Low Density Residential Development Approximately 16.81 acres of land on the subject site are designated for low density development. This density is incorporated into the overall Comprehen- sive Plan for the subject 66± acres in order to assure a more stable land use transition between the commercial and multiple family residential area to the north and the platted single family housing along the south side of Granduer Avenue. The lots along the south side of Granduer Avenue are larger than most of the residential lots within Sebastian Highlands. Therefore, SA! was particu- larly concerned with protecting the stability of these relatively high value lots. Additional Considerations, Including Drainage The 66± acre tract is located in an area which drains poorly. A detailed site analysis is required to determine the possible presence of small wetland areas. This observation is noted in order to assure that persons viewing the ultimate development capacity of the site do not over-estimate its ability to accommodate development alternatives.

General Commercial Designation Approximately 14.87 acres of land are designated for general commercial .develop- ment at the southwest corner of the intersection of State Road 512 and Laconia Street. This designation first appeared on the Proposed Land Use Plan for the City of Sebastian prepared by the Indian River County Planning and Zoning Department during 1979-1980. This land is one of the few remaining, unplatted sites along the State Road 512 corridor. The site is highly accessible to residential areas within the Sebastian Highlands via Barber Street which serves the northwest and southwest Highlands. In addition, the site is located at the southern terminus of Roseland Road which serves major residential settlements north of the site, north to Roseland. Finally, the site is accessibly located near Veto Lake Estates westward along the State Road 512 corridor. The 14.87± acres commercial site was designated to serve as a community shopping center by the year 1990-2000. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map has set the subject site aside in order to accommodate projected long term shopping needs of residents anticipated to reside in residential areas within a 3 to 5 mile radius. Medium Density RestdeQtial Development Approximately 34.32 acres are delineated on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map for medium density residential develOpment. Similar to the commercial site identified above, this land is also accessible to major arterial and collector streets within the City' of Sebastian and adjacent areas. The Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan identified that the City of Sebastian lacks developed sites for multiple family residential structure types. The subject site was viewed by Solin and Associates, Inc.. (SAI) as ideal for accommodating medium MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN BOCIETY OF CONBULTtNOl I:It. ANNER8
