Stormwater Management All developments are reviewed for compliance with county stormwater regulations, which require on-site retention, preservation of floodplain storage and minimum finished floor elevations. In addition, development proposals must meet the discharge requirements of the county Stormwater Management Ordinance. Since the subject property lies within a flood zone "X", the minimum floor elevation level of service standard does not apply. Both the on-site retention and discharge standards, however, do apply. In this case, the stormwater management level of service standard will be met by limiting off-site discharge and maintaining on-site retention of the stormwater runoff associated with the most intense use of the property. Concurrency SummM Based upon the analysis conducted, staff has determined that all concurrency-mandated facilities, including transportation, stormwater management, solid waste, water, and wastewater, have adequate capacity to acconuriodate the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed rezoning. As with all development, a more detailed concurrency review will be conducted during the development approval process. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan NNW Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with all applicable policies of the comprehensive plan. Rezoning requests must also be consistent with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future Land Use Map. In this case, the subject properly is designated C/I, Commercial/Industrial, on the Future Land Use Map. Since CL zoning is allowed in the C/I district,the proposed zoning is consistent with the Future Land Use Map. Other than the Future Land Use Map, the goals, objectives, and policies are the most important parts of the comprehensive plan. Policies are statements in the plan that identify the actions which the county will take in order to direct the community's development. As courses of action committed to by the county, policies provide the basis for all county land development decisions. While all comprehensive plan policies are important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing rezoning requests. Of particular applicability for this request are Future Land Use Element Policies 1.17 and 1.18. Future Land Use Element Policies 1.17 and 1.18 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.17 states that all commercial/industrial uses must be located within the county's urban service area. Future Land Use Element Policy 1.18 states that the commercial/industrial land use designation shall permit uses that include retail, office, and service commercial development. 6 45
