6. Maximum Number of Units with Proposed Zoning: ±77 units As per section 910.07(2) of the Concurrency Management Chapter of the County's -Land Development Regulations, projects which do not increase density or intensity of use are exempt from concurrency requirements. This rezoning request is exempt from concurrency review because the requested zoning would not increase the total number of potential units that the site could accommodate. It is important to note that there will be no effect on service levels for any public facility as a result of the rezoning. In this case, a detailed concurrency analysis will be done at the time of single-family building permit issuance for each lot. That concurrency analysis will address facility service -levels and demand. Compatibility with the Surrounding Area Compatibility problems with the surrounding areas, due to the Proposed zoning change, are not anticipated. Properties bordering the subject property on the north and south are zoned RM -6 but, like the subject property, are developed or are being developed as single-family homes. Phase 1 of the Colonial Gardens subdivision is located to the south of the subject single-family residential use. The sub ect propety isproperty and developed for the Colonial Gardens subdivision. Property southrof 9thPStreet is zoned RS -6 and also developed as single-family homes. The area west of the subject property is zoned RM -6, and is currently vacant. The parcel to the east of the subject property is zoned CL, Limited Commercial, and contains a small retail plaza known as Dixie Colonial Plaza. The owner of the subject property also owns Dixie Colonial Plaza. Five lots on the eastern part of the subject Property will border the commercial plaza. A Type "B" Buffer, including landscaping and a 20 -foot wide drainage and utility easement, were required from and provided by the owner at the time of Site Plan Approval for Dixie Colonial Plaza. This buffer is required regardless of the subject property's zoning. Therefore, there is no compatibility problem regarding this requested rezoning. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of the comprehensive plan. Rezonings must also be consistent with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, which include agriculture, residential, recreation, conservation, and commercial and industrial land uses and their densities. Commercial and industrial land uses are located in nodes throughout the unincorporated areas of Indian River County. The goals, objectives and policies are the most important parts of the Comprehensive Plan. Policies are statements in the plan which 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 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 1.11 and 1.12. 17
