Future Land Use Policy 10.5 For this administrative rezoning request, the most important consideration is Future Land Use Policy 10.5. Future Land Use Policy 10.5 states that, by 1990, Indian River County shall initiate action to rezone property to conform to the land use designations identified on the adopted Future Land Use Map. This request is not only consistent with policy 10.5; the rezoning action is mandated by that policy. Through this rezoning action, zoning throughout the unincorporated county will be made consistent with the adopted Future Land Use Map land use designations. Although policy 10.5 established a deadline of 1990 to implement the administrative rezoning process, that deadline was not met for one major reason. That reason was that the county's plan was not found in compliance until August of 1991, and staff knew that changes necessary to brim* the plan into compliance would, themselves, require massive rezonings. Consequently, it was determined that doing the administrative rezonings prior to a compliance finding for the plan would be premature and inefficient. Although the county's zoning has not been completely consistent with the Future Land Use Map since plan adoption, the plan's policies have been implemented pursuant to the provisions of policy 10.5. - Future land Use Policy 1.5 Future Land Use Policy 1.5 identifies appropriate uses and densities for conservation land. The Future Land Use Map identifies these areas within the county which, by their nature, are designated as conservation. This request will establish conservation zoning consistent with its corresponding land use 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. rJUL 2 6 L- 9 BOOK 8 / PfgUE D'I
