Note: The rezoning/conceptual PD plan uses the incentives in Policy 18.3 to achieve a TND <br /> design that concentrates density near commercial and project activity areas while <br /> generally providing"greenbelt"areas and low density development where the site abuts <br /> properties that lie outside the Urban Service Area. <br /> Land Use Policy 18.1: By January 2011, the county shall adopt land development regulations that <br /> establish the TND,Traditional Neighborhood Design,zoning district. The TND district shall be limited <br /> to planned developments. <br /> Note: This project implements Policy 18.1. The Policy 18.1 TND criteria are discussed in <br /> detail later in this report. <br /> Land Use Objective 18: Between January 1, 1998 and January 1, 2020,ten percent of new residential <br /> development (dwelling units) occurring in unincorporated Indian River County will be located in <br /> Traditional Neighborhood Design projects. <br /> Note: The proposed project will increase the number of TND units developed in the <br /> unincorporated county. <br /> While the referenced policies are particularly applicable to this rezoning request,other comprehensive <br /> plan policies and objectives also have relevance. For that reason,staff evaluated the subject request for <br /> consistency with all plan objectives and policies. Based upon that analysis, staff determined that the <br /> request is consistent with the comprehensive plan. <br /> bw Compatibility with Surrounding Areas <br /> Generally, lakes,parks,green area, and landscaping will form a green belt along the edge of the main <br /> site where development interfaces with adjacent property outside the USA(Urban Service Area). The <br /> green belt concept is used to provide compatibility with agricultural uses outside the USA. In this case, <br /> a golf course,other open space areas,and buffers combine to form a physical separation and transition <br /> between the more densely developed portions of Providence Pointe and the uses outside the USA to the <br /> west. <br /> Overall,the most intensely developed portion of the project will be situated near the southwest corner <br /> of 58th Avenue and 53�d Street, an intersection of two arterial roads. From that point, the project <br /> transitions to less intense development to the south and west. Furthermore, the residential scale and <br /> architectural treatment of commercial/office buildings within the project will contribute to compatibility <br /> with surrounding areas, avoid a "strip commercial" appearance, and aesthetically integrate with the <br /> project's residential development and recreational amenities. <br /> Concurrency Impacts <br /> Consistent with county requirements, the applicant conducted a conditional concurrency review to <br /> identify and evaluate potential project impacts on various public facilities, including roads, schools, <br /> water and sewer service,and other systems. In this case,the conditional concurrency review indicated <br /> that there will be adequate facilities in place to accommodate project impacts,subject to the conditions <br /> (W contained in this report's recommendation. Further concurrency determinations will be required at the <br /> time of preliminary PD plan approval for each phase.
