not implemented. He discussed the goals, objectives and policies of the EAR and <br />provided statistics for an overall objective, pointing out that there are 129 objectives for <br />2008, 96 of which were achieved, 17 partially achieved, and 16 were not achieved. <br />Staff determined and recommended that 14 of these objectives should be <br />maintained; 109 should be revised; 6 should be deleted, and 6 new ones be added. <br />Within this Element are 806 policies, 717 of which are implemented, 11 partially <br />implemented, and 78 not implemented. Staff's proposal is to maintain 574 of those, <br />revise 177, delete 55, and add 116 new ones. Director Keating disclosed that throughout <br />the process, going to the various Committees and the PZC, staff has invited public <br />comments on all the EAR elements and have received a lot of comments. <br />FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT <br />Brian Freeman, Senior Planner, through a PowerPoint Presentation <br />reviewed this Element and highlighted some of the existing conditions, as they are <br />currently. On the matter of annexations in the County, over the past 10 years, nearly <br />24,000 acres of land were annexed into the City of Fellsmere, (over 37 square miles) and <br />832 acres (just over 1 square mile) by the other four (4) municipalities combined. He <br />pointed out that looking at the reduction and build -out potential that has occurred since <br />1998, there has been a couple of contributing factors, like the annexations highlighted <br />and that single family residential development occurs at densities that are below the <br />maximums that are allowed by the Future Land Use (FLU) Map. He noted that the <br />County is nearly 50% built -out with just over 55,000 residential units that are allowed by <br />the Comprehensive Plan and FLU Map, and this includes areas inside and outside the <br />Urban Service Boundary. <br />3 <br />October 20, 2008 <br />Public Workshop <br />
