pr- <br />TiAR 5 1991 <br />- Recreation <br />BOOK8� P,UE 1 <br />Requirements related to the concurrency determination for county <br />recreational facility capacity apply only to residential <br />development. This zoning would not be required to have a park <br />concurrency determination. <br />ANALYSTS <br />The proposed rezoning represents a change from residential to <br />industrial use. In assessing this request, three major issues must <br />be addressed: compatibility with the surrounding area, consistency <br />with the comprehensive plan and concurrency of public facilities. <br />Compatibility is not a major concern for this property. The area is <br />predominantly vacant land, or citrus groves. It is probable that <br />any development north or south of this property would be similar in <br />intensity or density, having the same light industrial designation. <br />Any development will be buffered from the residential district to <br />the west of the subject property. <br />A review of this rezoning -request with the Future Land Use Map and <br />policies, as well as the policies of the other plan elements, does <br />not reveal any inconsistency. Among the policies applicable to <br />this request is Future Land Use Policy 1.19 which permits <br />commercial and industrial uses only in commercial/industrial <br />corridors and nodes. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the <br />commercial/industrial corridor policy. <br />Concurrency for drainage, roads, solid waste, and parks has been <br />met with the proposed zoning. Since capacity for water and <br />wastewater services is not available, the applicant has signed a <br />developer's agreement to ensure these facilities will be provided. <br />This is consistent with Future Land Use Policy 2.7, which requires <br />development projects to maintain established levels of service. <br />CONCLUSION <br />The subject property is currently bisected by a zoning district <br />boundary line, leaving a small part of the property zoned <br />residential, while the remainder is industrial. This situation <br />severely restricts development of the property. Not only would <br />rezoning the subject property unify the site under one zoning <br />category; it would also serve to implement the comprehensive plan <br />by making the subject property's zoning consistent with its land <br />use designation. For these reasons, as well as the fact that the <br />proposed request satisfies applicable compatibility, consistency, <br />and concurrency criteria, staff supports the subject request. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Board of <br />County Commissioners approve this request to rezone property to IL. <br />16 <br />W <br />
