requests. Of particular applicability for this request are the following comprehensive plan policies. - Future Land Use Element Policy 1.14 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.14 states that single-family, multiple -family, and mobile home residential uses with a density of up to 8 units/acre are permitted in areas designated as M-1, Medium -Density Residential, on the future land use map. Since the subject property is designated M-11 Medium -Density Residential -1, the requested RS -6 zoning is consistent with Future Land Use Policy 1.14. While the County's comprehensive plan controls density for all residential areas in the County, the plan does not control housing type. Consequently, single-family, multiple -family, or mobile home development could be allowed in an area designated as M-1 on the County land use plan; housing type is controlled by zoning.. In this case., the subject property was' zoned RMH-8 with the intent that mobile home development would provide a transition from commercial to the north to single-family to the south. Future Land Use Element Policy 2.5 Future Land Use Element Policy 2.5 states that the County shall encourage and direct growth into the Urban Service Area. The subject property is located within the Urban Service Area and is vacant undeveloped land. For this reason, the requested rezoning is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 2.5. - Future Land Use Element Policy 5.3 Future Land Use Element Policy 5.3 states that the County shall provide zoning designations to permit a variety of residential buildings and development styles. Presently, the area of the county near the subject property is zoned predominantly RMH-8. Nearly all the land between 82nd Avenue and 90th Avenue, from 12th Street to the S.R. 60 & I-95 Commercial/Industrial Node is zoned RMH-8. As would be expected with such a zoning pattern, there are already several mobile home parks (Countryside, Heron Cay, Lakewood Village, and Heritage Village) in the area. Particularly lacking in this area is single-family zoning. There is no RS -6 zoned land south of S.R. 60 and west of 82nd Avenue. The subject request would implement Future Land Use Element Policy 5.3 by allowing single-family development in the area. As part of the staff analysis, all policies in the comprehensive plan were considered. Based upon this analysis, staff determined that the proposed rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Potential Impact on Environmental Quality The proposed rezoning would have no detrimental effects on the environment. Any proposed filling of jurisdictional wetlands would be regulated by means of a county wetland resource permit, in addition to state and federal wetland permitting, requiring mitigation as appropriate.
