designation. That action will implement policy 1.5. - Future Land Use Policy 1.8 Future Land Use Policy 1.8 states that certain types of development are permitted within agriculturally designated lands. The Future Land Use Map, as adopted, provides a variety of agricultural designations with varying residential densities. This request will make the appropriate zoning districts for agricultural lands consistent with the corresponding agricultural land use designations, implementing policy 1.8. - Future Land Use Policy 2.5 Future Land Use Policy 2.5 requires the county to utilize its zoning and other regulations to encourage and direct growth into the urban service area. Since this request will rezone areas which are curently inconsistent with the Future Land Use Map, it will encourage development of those lands located within the urban service area. It is staff's position that this request is consistent with Future Land Use Policy 2.5. - Future Land Use Policy 2.6 Policy 2.6 requires all development, except agricultural uses, residential uses with less than .2 units/acre, and recreation - open space uses to be located within the Urban Service area (USA). Currently, there are areas outside of the USA which have an AG -1, Agricultural - 1 land use designation (up to 1 unit/5 acres) but have a zoning designation allowing higher densities. The purpose of this administrative rezoning is to assign the appropriate zoning to each parcel in the county based on the parcel's corresponding land use designation. As such, this request will implement policy 2.6. - Future Land Use Policy 10.6 Similar to Policy 10.5 stated above, Future Land Use Policy 10.6 requires the elimination of inconsistencies between the comprehensive plan and the county's development regulations. The county's Land Development Regulations were adopted on September 11, 1990, consistent with policy 10.6. This administrative rezoning will eliminate existing inconsistencies between the current zoning districts and the county's adopted Future Land Use Map. - Future Land Use Policy 16.1./Coastal Management Policy 11.4 Both Future Land Use Policy 16.1 and Coastal Management Policy 11.4 require a maximum density of 3 units/acre for land located in the Coastal High Hazard Zone (CHHZ). The Comprehensive Plan identifies CHHZ areas within the county and assigns a maximum density of 3 units/acre to those areas. Currently, a portion of the north barrier island is zoned for 6 units/acre, but has a land use designation allowing only 3 units/acre. This request will assign a 3 unit/acre zoning district to this part of the county. Therefore, the requested zoning is consistent with Future Land Use Policy 16.1 and Coastal Management policy 11.4. - Conservation Policy 4.3 Conservation Policy 4.3 requires the county to establish low density land uses for areas which are flood prone, with the exception of existing lots of record of a higher density. This request will reduce zoning densities in those areas considered to be flood prone areas. ,It is staff's position that the requested rezoning will.. be consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. 9 �J,L 0 8 1992 � 60OK � d FACE 000
