It is important to note that, as with all projects, a detailed concurrencyanalysis will be don <br /> Y em <br /> conjunction with site development. That concurrency analysis will address facility service levels <br /> and demand. <br /> Consistency with Comprehensive Plan <br /> Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with all applicable policies of the comprehensive <br /> plan. Rezoning requests must also be consistent with the land use designations depicted on the <br /> Future Land Use Map. In this case, the subject property is designated L-2 on the Future Land Use <br /> Map. Since RM-6 zoning is allowed under the L-2 land use designation, the proposed zoning is <br /> consistent with the Future Land Use Map. <br /> Other than the Future Land Use Map, the goals, objectives, and policies are the most important parts <br /> of the comprehensive plan. Policies are statements in the plan that identify the actions which the <br /> county will take in order to direct the community's development. As courses of action committed <br /> to by the county, policies provide the basis for all county land development decisions. While all <br /> comprehensive plan policies are important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing <br /> rezoning requests. Of particular applicability for this request are following Future Land Use <br /> Element objectives and Policies. <br /> Future Land Use Element Objective 1 <br /> ,. Future Land Use Element Objective 1 states that the county will have a compact and energy <br /> efficient land use pattern; an overall low density character; and adequate land for utility facilities <br /> necessary to support development. By allowing the site to be developed in a manner that is <br /> consistent with the site's land use designation, the request allows a more compact land use pattern <br /> within the urban service area. For those reasons, the request is consistent with Future Land Use <br /> Element Objective 1. <br /> Future Land Use Element Policy 1 11 <br /> Future Land Use Element Policy 1.11 states that the Low-Density Residential land use designation <br /> shall be applied to those areas which are suitable for urban and suburban development. In addition, <br /> Future Land Use Element Policy 1.11 states that those residential uses must be located within the <br /> urban service area. <br /> Since the subject property is located within an area designated as L-2 on the county's Future Land <br /> Use Map and is located within the county's urban service area and the proposed zoning district <br /> permits residential uses no greater than 6 units/acre, the proposed request is consistent with Policy <br /> 1.11. <br /> Future Land Use Element Policy 2.2 <br /> Future Land Use Element Policy 2.2 states that the county shall encourage and direct growth into <br /> the urban service area through zoning, subdivision regulations, and LDRs.
