RE: Transmittal of Proposed City of Sebastian Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
amendment; Graves Brothers Company, 1047 acres.
Dear Mr. Eubanks:
Enclosed, please find one paper copy and two (2) compact disc copies of the following
proposed City of Sebastian Comprehensive Plan amendment of the Future Land Use Map for review.
On June 5, 2019, the City of Sebastian received a petition for Voluntary Annexation of approximately
1118 acres of land from Graves Brothers Company, located in unincorporated Indian River County. The
property includes lateral canals owned and maintained by the Sebastian River Improvement District
(SRID). The SRID is a special taxing district that will not require a land use change as part of the Future
Land Use Map amendment. Therefore, the amount of land requiring a land use amendment with the
extraction of the lateral canals and rights of way amounts to 1046.7 acres.
The On August 15, 2019 Sebastian's Planning and Zoning Commission, acting as the Local Planning
Agency, considered the Future Land Use Map amendment at an advertised public hearing. The Local
Planning Agency was unable to come to a consensus regarding a recommendation for City Council
approval. The City Council then held a public hearing on August 28, 2019 to consider the transmittal of
the following Ordinance to state and regional review agencies:
ORDINANCE NO. 0-19-05

AND C (CONSERVATION) FOR ANNEXED LAND WITH A PRIOR COUNTY
LAND USE DESIGNATION OF AG -1 (AGRICULTURAL, 1 UNIT PER 5
ACRES) ON PROPERTY CONSISTING OF 1,046.7 ACRES, MORE OR LESS,
LOCATED SOUTH OF COUNTY ROAD 510, WEST OF LANDS ADJACENT TO
74TH AVENUE, NORTH OF 697rH STREET, AND EAST OF 82ND AVENUE;
AUTHORIZING FINDINGS AND ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS; PROVIDING
FOR CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR
SCRIVENER'S ERRORS; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND
PROVIDING AN ADOPTION SCHEDULE.
At the above referenced public hearing, the City Council approved Ordinance 0-19-05 on first reading
and authorized transmittal to state and regional review agencies. A final public hearing concerning this
amendment at the adoption stage is anticipated to be held in November 2019.

Concern, and are not required to follow State coordinated review guidelines. The amendment is being
