When any of the remaining unbuilt lots are proposed for development, a more detailed concurrency analysis will be conducted during the development approval process. Compatibility with the Surrounding Area It is- staff's position that a light industrial zoning district would be appropriate for the subject property and would result in development compatible with surrounding property. Because the area to the north is already zoned for and developed with light industrial uses, rezoning the subject property would -result in an extension of an existing land use pattern. For those already developed lots on the subject property, the existing uses are all permitted uses within the IL zoning district; so the proposed rezoning will not create any non -conforming uses. The principal impacts of this request would be on the Lakewood Village mobile home park to the south. There are, however, several circumstances which would serve to mitigate the potential impacts associated with this request. First, 16th Street serves as a physical separation between the subject property and the existing mobile home park. Due to the configuration of the properties, required setbacks, the location of drainage easements, and the existence of 16th Street, no mobile home will be closer than 80 feet to any development on the subject property. Most mobile homes will be over 100 feet from development on the subject property. Additionally, all industrial development is required. to undergo site plan review. Through this process, potential impacts will be minimized with site design. Finally, the large overlap of uses permitted under both the proposed IL zoning district and the existing CH zoning district reduces the chances that granting this request will result in an increase in impacts on the adjacent mobile home area. For these reasons, the proposed rezoning can be expected to have an insignificant impact on the adjacent property. 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 1.17 and 4.3, and Economic Development Policies 1.1, 1.4, and 1.5. - Future Land Use Policy 1.17 Future Land Use Policy 1.17 designation is intended for materials processing, heavy storage and similar uses states that the industrial land use uses such as manufacturing, --assembly, repair se:cvices, outdoor -equipment as well as supportive and related 14
