• Future Land Use Element Policies 1.11 and 1.12 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.12 states that the L-1, Low Density Residential 1, and L-2, Low Density 2, land use designations are intended for residential uses with densities up to 3 and 6 units/acre, respectively. In addition, Future Land Use Element Policy 1.11 states that these residential uses must be located within an existing or future urban service area. Because the subject property is located within an area designated as L-2 on the county's future land use plan map and is located within the county's urban service area, and because the proposed PD zoning district provides for residential uses that are less than 6 units/acre in accordance with the site's L-2 designation, the proposed request is consistent with Policies 1.11 and 1.12. While the referenced policies and objectives are particularly applicable to this request, other comprehensive plan policies and objectives also have relevance. For that reason, staff evaluated the subject request for consistency with all plan policies and objectives. Based on that evaluation, staff determined the proposed PD district is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Concurrency A conditional concurrency certificate has been issued for the project. Concurrency is discussed in more detail in the PD Plan Analysis section of this staff report Compatibility Compatibility is an important consideration in any PD rezoning request. In this case, it is important to consider compatibility of the proposed project with properties in the area. The 2.15 acres to be added to the Harmony Reserve PD were previously an enclave with the Harmony Reserve PD bordering the subject site on 3 sides (East, West, and South). The subject site was recently owned by Breath of Heaven Ministries of the Treasure Coast East. Inclusion of the subject site will increase compatibility by creating a more consistent development pattern, and eliminating adjacent enclave parcels. Environmental Impacts and Concurrency These issues are evaluated in the analysis section of this report (see below), and have been adequately addressed. Rezoning Review Standards: Section 902.12 contains standards for reviewing a zoning change and that section is included as attachment #3. This staff report addresses those standards either specifically or in general terms where appropriate. Based on staff's review, the application and analysis adequately address the applicable review standards in section 902.12. 81 C:\Users\legistar\AppData\Local\Temp\BCL Technologies\easyPDF 8\@BCL@442383B0\@BCL@442383B6.rtf 6
