J U L 0 8 1997 BOOK 86 NIWE <br />Compatibility -with the Surrounding Area <br />Compatibility is not an issue with this request, since the <br />administrative rezoning action is being undertaken to make. the <br />county's zoning atlas consistent with its land use map, and the <br />land use map was developed using compatibility as a major <br />criterion. Because the county's future land 'use map .reflects a <br />pattern of uses that ensures land use compatibility, the zoning <br />proposed by this action will also result in compatibility. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />With this proposed rezoning, there are essentially no alternatives. <br />Since state law requires that the zoning designation of each parcel <br />in the county be consistent with its underlying land use <br />designation, the rezoning must occur. If problems are identified <br />during this process with respect to one or more parcels, the Board <br />of County Commissioners can recommend that a comprehensive plan <br />amendment be considered for those parcels. Even in such a case <br />though, the parcel's zoning must be changed at this time. <br />While the county has no option other than rezoning those parcels <br />where the zoning and land use designations are inconsistent, the <br />Board of County Commissioners does have limited alternatives. <br />These are as follows: <br />1. The Board of County Commissioners could approve the requested <br />zonings as shown on Attachment 4 of this staff report. Staff <br />supports this alternative based upon the data and analysis <br />presented above. <br />2. The Board of County Commissioners could rezone any property to <br />a less intense district from that proposed, provided that the <br />recommended zoning district is within the same general land <br />use category as the district proposed. <br />CONCLUSION <br />It is staff's position that the administrative rezonings are <br />consistent with the adopted comprehensive plan, especially with <br />Future Land Use Policy 10.5. For that reason, staff supports this <br />request. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based upon the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Board <br />of County Commissioners consider this request to administratively <br />rezone the subject parcels as shown on Attachment 4; provide <br />direction to staff; and defer final action until the second special <br />night meeting scheduled for July 21, 1992. <br />Attachments <br />1.
