Land Use Compatibility:

Volusia County has designated this area north of Volco Road and East of India Palm Drive as R-3 with future land use designations of Urban Low Intensity. The applicant had a PUD agreement for multifamily residences.
• Low Impact Urban FLU in Volusia County allows for a maximum gross residential density of 1 dwelling unit per acre.
• The City of Edgewater’s future land use designations do not provide a range, instead they provide a maximum density. The FLU-Medium Density Residential has a maximum density of 8 dwelling units per acre. The PUD agreement allows for 18 units on the site.
• Prior staff have assigned the Medium Density Residential future land use categories for the following areas that have annexed into the City of Edgewater:
o 3428 India Palm Drive
o 3424 India Palm Drive
o 3405 India Palm Drive
o 3412 India Palm Drive
