development plans required pursuant to Article XVIII include appropriate mitigation techniques to
prevent/minimize adverse impacts to wetlands, transitional wetlands, upland habitat, tidal waters and
estuarine areas, including benthic communities, such as seagrass beds and other live bottom
communities, or additional environmentally fragile natural systems. An on -site survey by environmental
professionals shall be submitted by the applicant. Such determinations shall be based on physical and
biological data obtained from specific site investigations and provided with the earliest application for
City development approval. These determinations shall be predicated on findings rendered by
professionals competent in producing data and analysis necessary to support impact assessments,
including findings regarding the impacts of potential development on the physical and biological
function and value of environmentally sensitive lands. Any development within the conservation district
shall be required to comply with all performance criteria of Chapter III, especially Article XI,
Environmental Protection, as well as all other applicable land development regulations.

SECTION 54-2-5.3COMINIERCIAL DISTRICTS (Subsections 54-2-5.3.1 through 54-2-5.3.3)
GENERAL INTENT OF CONINLERCLAL DISTRICTS
The overall purpose and intent of the commercial districts is to provide a management framework for
implementing Comprehensive Plan commercial development objectives and policies. The location and
distribution of specific types of commercial activities shall be determined based on the following considerations:
• Trip generation characteristics, including impact on transportation facilities and off-street parking systems;
• Location and site requirements based on specific needs of respective commercial activities, their market area,
anticipated employment generation and floor area requirements;
• Compatibility with and impact on nearby residential and other surrounding commercial activities;
• Relationship to surrounding land uses and natural systems; and
• Impact on existing and planned community services and utilities.
All commercial development shall comply with the Comprehensive Plan, performance criteria in Chapter III, as
well as all other applicable land development regulations. Following is a description of the purpose of each
zoning district herein established, including reference to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
designation which shall be implemented through the land development regulations.
SUBSECTION 54-2-5.3.1 CONIMERCIAL-512 DISTRICT (C-512)
A. INTENT. The C-512 district is established to implement Comprehensive Plan policies for managing
land designated for commercial development along segments of C.R. 512.
1. Traffic Impacts Along C.R. 512 Corridor. The purpose and intent of the C-512 district is to
provide a well -planned and equitable growth management policy for directing future
development within the C-512 district boundaries. The existing pattern of development without
such regulation violates accepted principles and practices of traffic engineering, county road
policies and standards, and adversely impacts the safety, welfare, and convenience of the
motoring public. This statement acknowledges the fact that C.R. 512 is identified as an arterial
highway on the major thoroughfare plans of both the City of Sebastian and Indian River
County. Both acknowledge that C.R. 512 is a major regional transportation facility linking U.S.
1 and I-95, and also linking the cities of Sebastian and Fellsmere with Indian River County, and
the City of Vero Beach urban areas to the south.
2. Plan for Off -Street Panting and Controlled Curb Cuts. The purpose and intent of the C-512
district is also to restrict the location of curb cuts within the district, require compliance with a
master plan for parking and curb cut control, and regulate the timing and intensity of land
development in order to alleviate potential traffic congestion along the C.R. 512 corridor.
Although presently land within this district is relatively undeveloped, if the regulations
prescribed herein were not duly adopted, future development within this district would generate
unsafe and dangerous conflicts in traffic flow along C.R. 512.

6. Rear Yard Landscape Requirements: A rear yard buffer strip shall be required pursuant to
Section 54-3-14.16 in order to provide satisfactory
screening of the district from abutting residentially zoned
property.
E. Unified Control of Land. All development proposals having a C-512 designation must demonstrate
that all land within the project is held under common ownership whether an individual, a partnership or
corporation, submits the proposal.
F. Mandatory Compliance with Master Parking and Curb Cut Control Plan (MPCCCP). The
MPCCCP is hereby adopted by reference and shall apply to all developments within the C-512 district.
The MPCCCP is on file in the Planning and Growth Management Department.
G. Expansion of Uses to Adjacent Lot(s). An existing permitted land use within the C-512 district may
be expanded to an adjacent lot or lots of less than 80 feet width providing the following conditions are
met and the Planning and Zoning Commission approves the site plan for the expansion:
1. The subject lot or lots shall be under united control with the adjoining subject developed
properties pursuant to Section 54-2-5.3. 1 (E);
2. All such extensions must be constructed as a contiguous extension to an existing structure on
the adjoining lot; and
The proposed development shall comply with all codes and ordinances of the city of Sebastian
and reasonable conditions affixed to the site plan by the Planning and Zoning Commission
and/or the City Council.
H. Compatibility of Building Lines. No structure within the C-512 district shall be set back more than
eighty-four (84) feet from the front property line in order to ensure a uniform pattern of development
along the CR 512 corridor.
SUBSECTION 34-2-5.3.2 COMMERCIAL LIMITED DISTRICT (CL)
A. INTENT. The CL district is established to implement comprehensive plan policies for managing land
designated for limited commercial development. Areas designated for limited commercial development
shall not accommodate large-scale retail sales and trade activities generally serving regional markets. Such
stores usually differ from limited commercial shops since the former generally require a larger floor area,
carry a relatively larger inventory, and require a substantially greater off-street parking area.
Uses which are not accommodated within the limited commercial area include the following: large scale
discount stores or supermarkets; department stores; wholesale and warehousing activities; sales, service or
repair of motor vehicles, machine equipment or accessory parts, including tire and battery shops; automotive
services centers; and fast food establishments with drive-in or drive -through facilities.

SECTION 54-2-5.9: TABLE OF LAND USE BY DISTRICTS
f� Table 54-2-5.9 "Land Use by Districts" (pp. V-44-47) stipulates the.permitted and conditional uses by district.
Permitted uses are uses allowed by right, provided all applicable regulations within the land development code
are satisfied, as well as all other applicable laws and administration regulations. Conditional uses are allowable
only if approved by the City pursuant to administrative procedures found in Article VI. The applicant
requesting a conditional use must demonstrate compliance with conditional use criteria set forth in Article VI.

The applicant shall bear the burden of proof in demonstrating compliance with all applicable laws and ordi-
nances during the site plan review process. The site plan review process is set forth in Article XVIII.
SECTION 54-2-5.10: SIZE AND DIMENSION CRITERIA
A. MINLVIUM LOT OR SITE REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL USES
1. Table of Size and Dimensional Regulations. Table 54-2-5.10 (p. V-48) incorporates required
size and dimension regulations, which shall be applicable within each respective zoning district,
and these standards shall be maintained in perpetuity. All developments shall have a total land
area sufficient to satisfy all standards stipulated within the land development code.
2. Height Regulations and Exceptions Hereto. The term "building height" as used in the Land
Development Regulations shall mean the vertical distance from either the required base flood
elevation or the average construction grade, whichever is greater, of all exterior corners of a
structure to the highest point of the building, not including those structures specifically
permitted to extend beyond the height of the building.
Land Development Code Page V-24 City of Sebastian
6/ 15i 2000 9:09 :A..M
Chapter U: District and General Regulations Article V: Zoning District Regulations
On any site where fill is required to adhere to the base flood elevation, as established by the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, and as required by other governmental agencies, the
building height is the vertical distance from the required base flood elevation to the highest
point of the building not including those structures specifically permitted to extend beyond the
height of the building.
Chimneys and radio and television antennas may exceed height limitations upon the prior
approval of the Planning and Growth Management Director and the City Engineer based on the
compliance with all other applicable technical codes. Steeples, silos, windmills, ventilators,
water tanks, cupolas and other appurtenances usually required to be placed above the roof level
and not intended for human occupancy or use may exceed height limitations for the respective
zoning district by no more than twenty (20) percent upon the prior approval of the Planning and
Zoning Commission. All apparatus exceeding height limitations by more than twenty (20) percent
for the applicable zoning district height restrictions shall require variance approval by the Board
of Adjustment. In no event, however, shall any permitted heights be in conflict with the height
regulations established by flight angles of state -approved airports in the city. All permitted heights
shall comply with all requirements of the Federal Aviation Authority and the Federal
Communications Commission.
3. Lots of Record Less than Minimum Size (grandfather clause). Any legally platted lot of
record (which conformed with the regulations and procedures governing subdivision of lots) at
the time of the adoption of this Ordinance which contains less lot area, width or depth than
required in the district in which it is located may be used for a use permitted in such district.
The provision shall not be construed to permit more than one dwelling unit on a lot with less
area per family than required for the district in which such lot is located. However, if the
substandard lot adjoins other land under the same ownership which if used could correct the
nonconforming lot area or width, then:
a. The substandard lot shall not be permitted a vested development right unless the
nonconformity is remedied; and, furthermore,
b. Any subsequent sale or ownership transfer of the substandard lot, adjoining lot, or
portion thereof, shall not result in a vested development right in the subject substandard
lot(s) unless the transaction corrects deficiencies in the substandard lot(s).
* This regulation shall not apply to lots of record within the C-512 district, where contiguous lots under
the same ownership shall carry grandfather rights so long as the development lot width is a minimum of
80 feet.
4. Distance Between Principal Buildings. More than one multiple -family dwelling may be
located upon a lot, provided that the horizontal open space between such buildings measured at
the closest point shall be as specified for the district in which it is located, and the distance shall
be not less than twice the side yard required in the respective district. Such distance shall not be
less than twenty (20) feet.
B. DENSITY AND INTENSITY OF LAND USE. The density and intensity shall be consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan. Reference Table 54-2-5.10 for specific density and intensity maximums by type
of land use. The density and intensity expressed in Table 54-2-5.10 (p. V-48) is the maximum
density/intensity, which can be achieved. However, the maximum density/intensity is not guaranteed by
right and shall be subject to the performance criteria set forth herein. Maximum gross residential density
shall be determined by dividing the "maximum allowable units" by the "gross acres of land" (i.e.,
dwelling units/gross land area). Land seaward of mean high water shall not be used in calculating
density or intensity.
Lnd Development Code
6/ 1,5/2000 9:09 A NI
Page V-` i
City of Sebastian
Chapter II: District and General Regulations Article V: Zoning District Regulations
All residential densities stipulate the maximum gross densities. Gross land area shall be defined as
those contiguous land areas under common ownership proposed for residential development. In cases
where developable land abuts wetlands, waters of the State or other environmentally sensitive land,
including but not limited to those lands within State and/or Federal jurisdiction, the boundary shall be
delineated as established in Section 54-3-11.1 (C) or as established by the State or Federal government.
The applicant shall bear the burden of proof in determining that development shall not adversely impact
wetlands, waters of the State, and other environmentally fragile natural systems. Where the State and
Federal governments have jurisdiction, the applicant for development must obtain all necessary permits,
including but not limited to a dredge and fill permit, prior to requesting a determination of development
rights from the City. In addition, site alteration on areas zoned "Conservation" shall be limited to one
(1) percent of the entire site. Such determinations shall be based on physical and biological data
obtained from specific site investigations. These determinations shall be predicated on findings
rendered by professionals competent in producing data and analysis necessary to support impact
assessments, including findings regarding the impacts of potential development on the physical and
biological value and function of environmentally sensitive lands.
In reviewing applications/site plans for development of particular building sites, the specific residential
density approved by the City shall meet all applicable performance criteria of Chapter III, as well as
other applicable land development regulations.
The maximum intensity stipulated for non-residential activities is stated in terms of floor area ratio.
Floor area ratio (FAR) refers to the total floor area of building(s) on any lot, parcel, or site divided by
the area of the lot, parcel, or site. For purposes of calculating floor area, parking area located beneath
the building shall be counted only if that first story is over seven (7) feet above finished grade. FAR
computations shall include all uses on the lot, parcel or site, including both residential and non-
residential floor area.
The City shall reserve the power to mandate changes in the site plan as well as mandate reductions in
the density and/or intensity of development proposed by an applicant/developer if the City finds that the
proposed site plan does not satisfy provisions of the Comprehensive Plan and/or the land development
regulations. The maximum FARs are further restricted by quantitative and qualitative criteria included
in the Land Development Regulations, including but not limited to, such factors as minimum open
space; concurrency management and level of service standards for traffic circulation; storm water
management and other public facilities and services; off-street parking and internal circulation; height
restrictions; landscaping; other required on -site improvements and design amenities required to achieve
land use compatibility. Furthermore, the calculations of floor area ratios in mixed use developments
shall be determined by applying the following procedures. The maximum number of residential units
that may be allocated to the residential component of a mixed -use development shall be determined by
following the procedures stated below:
Step 1. State the allowable commercial FAR .....................= Maximum allowable commercial FAR
Step 2. State the proposed commercial FAR .....................= Proposed commercial FAR
Step 3. Subtract Line 2 from Line 1...............................= Unused commercial FAR
Step 4. Divide Line 3 by Line 1.....................................= % of unused commercial FAR
Step 5. Multiple Line 4 by the maximum allowable units per acre... = Allowable units per acre

C. IMPERVIOUS SURFACE AND OPEN SPACE
1. Definitions. As applied in the size and dimension requirement of this Chapter, the following
terms shall have the following meanings:
a. Impervious Surface. That portion of the land which is covered by buildings, pavement,
non -porous fill, swimming pools, or other cover through which water cannot penetrate.
The impervious surface ratio requirement controls the intensity of development, by
restricting the amount of the land covered by any type of impervious surface.
b. Open Space. The term "open space" is defined as that portion of land which includes
the gross area of the site less building coverage, impervious parking areas, vehicular
access or egress ways, and other cover through which water cannot penetrate. City
approved recreation and pedestrian site amenities shall be included as open space even
if they restrict the penetration of water. Water bodies shall not constitute more than
14"1 30% of total open space area. Water bodies shall be measured from the ordinary water
line. Dry retention ponds shall be considered open space.
2. Calculation of ISR. The impervious surface ratio (ISR) is calculated for the gross site by dividing
the total impervious surface by the gross site area.
Cluster development or other site design alternatives may result in individual lots exceeding the
ISR, while other lots may be devoted entirely to open space. The City may require, as a condition
of approval, deed restrictions or covenants, which guarantee the maintenance of such open space in
perpetuity. The ISR requirement shall not be bypassed or reduced. However, where cluster

and between the rear lot line and the nearest structure. On lots with one front
line, the lot line opposite the front lot line shall be the rear lot line. On comer
lots which abut two (2) streets with front lot lines of unequal length, the rear
yard line shall be opposite and parallel to the shortest front lot line. On a corner
lot which abuts three (3) streets, the remaining lot line shall be a side yard if it
abuts a side yard and shall be a rear yard if it abuts a rear yard.
(3) Yard, side. A yard between any structure and the side line of the lot, and
extending from the front lot line to the rear yard and being the minimum
horizontal distance between a side lot line and the side of any structure. A yard
which is not a front or rear yard.

Land Development Code Page V-30 Ciry of Sebasdan
6l 15i 2000 9:09 AM
Chapter II: District and General Regulations Article V: Zoning District Regulations
1. Limited commercial development standards:
(a) Design and market orientation. Any uses of a commercial nature shall be designated to
primarily serve the needs of the residents of the planned development in which they are located,
and such uses shall be designed so as to maintain and protect the residential character of the
planned development and adjacent residential neighborhoods as well. In order to accomplish
these purposes:
(i) Enclosure. Such commercial uses shall be conducted within a completely enclosed
building with no outside display, except those uses which by their nature must be
conducted outside a building. Any such outside storage use shall be reviewed by the
Planning and Zoning Commission and city council. If found acceptable, such use shall
be screened by a masonry wall or fence or a combination berm and landscaping with a
wall or fence and shall provide a ninety (90) percent opaque screen.
(ii) Land area. At the option of the developer, the maximum total land area, including all
at -grade off-street parking and loading areas in connection therewith, devoted to said
commercial uses shall be calculated using one of the following two (2) methods:
a. The PUD(R) development may contain as much commercial land area as was
permitted in any underlying commercial zoning district, although the location of
the commercial activities need not be limited to the boundaries of the underlying
commercial district; or
b. The PUD(R) development may contain commercial development based on the
applicable ratio of:
i. 125 square feet of commercial land area per dwelling for PUD(R) with a
density of five (5) dwelling units per acre or less.
ii. 100 square feet of commercial land area per dwelling for PUD(R) with a
density above five (5) dwelling units per acre.
(b) Issuance of building permits. No building permit for any commercial establishment shall be
issued nor may any building be used for a commercial establishment before building permits for
at least fifty (50) dwelling units in the PUD project have been issued.
F. DIMENSIONAL REGULATIONS. Reference Section 54-4-20.1(B) for specific criteria to be applied
in assessing density, intensity, and other size and dimension requirements for site specific development.
1. Maximum Density. The comprehensive plan land use designation shall govern the maximum
density permitted. No credit shall be given for land used for non-residential purposes in
calculating density.
2. Maximum FAR. Shall not exceed the FAR of the adjacent residential district. If more than
one residential district abuts the proposed site, the least intensive development shall be required
to be located adjacent to the dwelling units in the least intensive existing adjacent residential
development.
3. Maximum Height. Shall not exceed the maximum height established for the adjacent
residential district.

4. Lot Coverage and Open Space. A minimum of fifty (50) percent of the PUD shall be
maintained as open space; provided that a minimum of thirty (30) percent of each residential lot
must be maintained as open space.
5. Minimum Lot Size. The minimum lot size, lot width, and lot depth shall be negotiated. The
average residential lot size for an attached or detached single family unit shall not be reduced by
less than seventy-five percent of the required minimum lot size in the adjacent single family
residential zoning district. There is no minimum lot size for multiple family residential
structures, excepting attached single family units, townhouses, patio homes, and similar
clustering of residential units which shall follow the guidelines as established above.
The City retains the authority to require lot sizes along the periphery of the project be designed
in a manner that is similar in size to abutting lots within adjacent residential single family
zoning districts. The transition in lot size should be internalized in order to abate adverse
impacts on adjacent single family zoning districts. The City also retains the authority to require
more open space and/or amenities which have a clearly significant public benefit in return for
allowing substantial flexibility in the layout and design of the planned unit development.
6. Minimum Setbacks. All development must comply with requirements for setbacks from
wetlands and open waters established in Section 54-3-11.1(C). In order to promote flexibility in
the layout and design of a residential PUD, the City shall negotiate appropriate minimum
setbacks which clearly conform to the land use compatibility and open space policies in the
Comprehensive Plan and are consistent with the performance criteria in Chapter III of the Land
Development Code. Similarly, all setbacks shall be consistent with adopted fire code and
standard building code.
7. Minimum Living Area. The minimum living area provided within each unit shall be
negotiated; however, the minimum living area shall not be less than 900 sq. ft. and generally
shall be consistent with the living area provided in conventional zoning districts that most
closely approximate the structure type and density proposed within the PUD.
8. Frontage and Accessibility. Every dwelling unit or other use permitted in the PUD(R) district
shall have access to a public street either directly or via an approved private driveway,
pedestrian way, court, or other area dedicated to public use or private use or common element
guaranteeing access.

PUD(R) district all central refuse, trash and garbage collection containers shall be screened
from sight or located in such a manner that will comply with the provisions of subsection 54-3-
10.2(B).
10. Signs. Signs in the PUD(R) district shall be permitted only in accordance with an approved
sign plan. Such sign plan should provide for effective sign controls on the type, height, number,
size and location of all signs in the development, and shall be designated to minimize sign
proliferation and maximize the architectural integration of all signs into the development.
G. PERIMETER TRANSITION AREA. All proposed development on land classified PUD(R) shall
comply with perimeter transition regulations in Section 54-4-20.1(C) and all other applicable provisions
of Article XX.
H. SCREENING AND BUFFER YARD REQUIREMENTS. Screening and buffer yard requirements
shall comply with Article XIII provisions regulating required screening of residential and non-
residential uses as well as all other applicable provisions of Article XX.

Chapter II: District and General Regulations Article V: Zoning District Regulations
SECTION 54-2-5.15: MASTER PLAN FOR PARKING AND CURB CUT CONTROLS
A. INTENT
The purpose of the master plan for parking and curb cut controls is to implement needed off-street
parking and curb cut controls within the C-512 zoning district. The nature of existing and projected
traffic conditions is described within the Land Development Code, section 54-2-5.15.
The attached Map 1 "County Road 512 General Impact Area" delineates the County Road 512 corridor
connecting U.S. 1 with I-95 to the southwest. As of February, 1984, Indian River County is undertaking
a comprehensive study of traffic conditions within the County Road 512 General Impact Area. The
intent of the city is to coordinate County Road 512 municipal development policies with the county's
land use and transportation policies impacting this area. Therefore, the provisions of this plan should be
reevaluated to reflect policy consistent with any changed or unanticipated conditions, needs or policies
identified in the county's C.R. 512 traffic study.
Map 2 "County Road 512 Specific Impact Area" delineates the relationship of the C-512 zoning district
to that portion of the County Road 512 corridor lying within the City of Sebastian. Based on conditions
specified within section 20A-3.8A(A), "C-512 zoning district purpose and intent," together with the
city's desire to be responsive to policies and concerns of Indian River County regarding control of curb
cuts along County Road 512, the city herein establishes a master plan for parking and curb cut controls
within the C-512 zoning district. This plan shall be cited as section 54-2-5.15 of the Land Development
Code.
B. LOCATION OF CURB CUTS
Maps 3 through 12 "Curb Cut Designations" (by block) designate the location of planned curb cuts
within the C-512 zoning district. The location of respective curb cuts is predicated on, but not limited
to, the following considerations:
1. Street pattern. The existing major thoroughfare plans of Indian River County and the City of
Sebastian were reviewed together with the characteristics of the street pattern within the C-512
zoning district. Particular consideration was given to the location and characteristics of major and
minor intersections along County Road 512, existing and projected traffic flow, and comments of
the city and county engineers.
2. Land use. Existing and projected land use within the general impact area was reviewed, with
particular emphasis directed to existing and projected land use within the C-512 zoning district.
3. Subdivision layout. The existing layout of the Sebastian Highlands Subdivision units, particularly
those within the C-512 zoning district, as well as those adjacent to the district, were reviewed.
Special features such as block lengths and specific block characteristics, including block size and
configuration, existing curb cuts, alley locations, number of lots within respective blocks, and
ownership patterns were analyzed.
4. Potential for curb cut proliferation. The selection of planned future curb cut locations was
undertaken with a view toward minimizing the proliferation of future curb cuts along County
Road 512.

5. Standards for separation of curb cuts. Based on recommendations of the city engineer and county
engineer, the guideline of two hundred forty (240) feet separation between curb cuts was used as a
general standard in selecting curb cut locations; however, a general standard of three hundred
twenty (320) feet was used in establishing the separation between a curb cut and a major
thoroughfare (i.e. Barber Street, Vocelle Avenue, the two (2) intersections of South Wimbrow
Drive with County Road 512, and Easy Street). These general standards were necessarily
adjusted in order to minimize proliferation of curb cuts on blocks with differing characteristics.
COMPLIANCE WITH OFF-STREET PARKING AND LANDSCAPING CONTROLS
All subsequent development within the C-512 zoning district shall comply with off-street parking
