Those include agricultural, residential, recreational, conservation, and commercial and <br /> industrial land uses and residential densities. Commercial and industrial land uses are located in <br /> nodes throughout the unincorporated areas of Indian River County. <br /> The goals, objectives and policies are the most important parts of the comprehensive plan. Policies <br /> are statements in the plan that identify the actions that the county will take in order to direct the <br /> community's development. As courses of action committed to by the county, policies provide the <br /> basis for all county land development related decisions. While all comprehensive plan policies are <br /> important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing rezoning requests. Of particular <br /> applicability for this request are the following policies and objectives. <br /> Land Use Policy 1.4: Indian River County's land development regulations shall, through various <br /> means,ensure that adjacent land uses are compatible. Those means shall include,but not be limited <br /> to, use of the following: <br /> • vegetative buffers; <br /> • setbacks; <br /> • open space; <br /> • physical separation; <br /> • regulation of lighting; <br /> • regulation of hours of operation; and <br /> • regulation of access. <br /> Note: The proposed rezoning/conceptual PD plan meets or exceeds applicable land <br /> development regulations and provides special setbacks, buffers, open spaces, and <br /> aesthetic improvements to ensure compatibility internally and externally. Those <br /> project design elements are guaranteed via the binding conceptual PD plan and <br /> proposed PDMXD zoning. <br /> Land Use Policy 5.3: Indian River County zoning districts shall permit a variety of residential <br /> building and development styles. <br /> FACommunity Deve1opment\CurDev\BCC\2014 BCC\FamilyDollarGifford(PD-14-03-02).doc 4 93 <br />
