SEP changes proposed for the county's plan to bring it into compliance. Specifically, exhibit B contains a revised future land use plan map as well as revised objectives and policies for several elements. Proposed text or policy changes are, indicated by strike-throughs and underlines. As proposed, the plan changes. incorporated in the draft compliance agreement are not that substantial. Of these changes, probably the proposed revisions to the future land use plan map have the most impact. Specifically, the changes to the map are as follows: • Reduction in density for agricultural land west of the St. Johns Marsh from 1 unit/5 acres to 1 unit/20 acres • Reduction in density for agricultural land between I-95 and the St. Johns Marsh (except for areas around Fellsmere and the I-95/CR512 area that will remain 1 unit/5 acres) from 1 unit/5 acres to 1 unit/10 acres. • Revision of the urban service area boundary in theC central portion of the county between CR510 and 33rd St. from 74th Avenue to generally 1/2 mile east of 66th Avenue. This reduces densities in these areas from 1 unit/acrl�a,d 3 units/acre to 1 unit/5 acres. • Revision o the urban service area boundary in the south county from 16th Street -to the south county line, generally from 82nd Avenue to 58th Avenue. Mostly, this is a density reduction from 1 unit/acre to 1 unit/5 acres; however, it also includes some areas which are reduced from 3 units/acre and 6 units/acre to 1 unit/5 acres. Revision of two areas within the revised urban service area. These are: • reduction in density of the area south of Sebastian and north of CR510 from 3 units/acre to 1 unit/acre. • reduction in density of the area from 66th Avenue to 1/2 mile east of 66th Avenue from 49th Street to 33rd Street from 6 units/acre to 3 units/acre. Non -map changes reflected in the proposed compliance agreement include a clustering requirement for residential development in areas designated agriculture on the future land use map, acquisition policies for native upland areas, and capital improvement element changes to reflect the upland acquisition. These are specifically identified by the struck -through and underlined portions of exhibit B. Besides those changes, there will be revisions to the data and analysis sections of the future land use element, the conservation element and the capital improvements element. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: Throughout the negotiation process, county staff defended the adopted Indian River County Comprehensive Plan and resisted DCA's effort to require changes. When negotiations started, DCA's main concern focused upon the county's over -allocation of residential land. With enough land programmed for residential development to accommodate 11.6 times the additional land expected to be needed by 2010, the county's plan was inconsistent with DCA's residential acreage allocation factor.
