Land Use Policy 5.3: Indian River County zoning districts shall permit a variety of residential building and development styles. Note: The proposed rezoning and conceptual PD plan provides a variety of residential buildings and housing choices within the project that differ from most existing residential subdivision developments. In fact, this project is specifically designed to provide a special "TND Lifestyle", with a variety of housing and work choices in an integrated, planned community. In addition, the buildings will comply with the special design guidelines required by the County's PD regulations. Land Use Policy 5.5: Indian River County LDRs shall contain a special Planned Development (PD) zoning district. That district shall be designated as an overlay on the County Zoning Atlas. The PD zoning district is intended to provide for the development of projects which require flexibility in order to maximize open space and conserve natural features, provide alternative designs, incorporate recreational facilities, and incorporate a mix of uses. Note: The proposed PDTND zoning implements this policy by providing a mixture of uses, including open spaces and recreation uses, within a TND design that provides an alternative to a conventional single use project. Land Use Policy 9.3: Indian River County shall maintain plans along roads that serve as entranceways to the County and along other roads, as determined by the County. The County shall continue to implement the recommendations of the Other Corridor Plan and the SR 60 Corridor Plan. Note: The entire development, including residential portions of the project as well as the commercial components, will be subject to architectural design guidelines consistent with the Corridor Plan criteria. Land Use Policy 18.3: To facilitate TND projects east of I-95 that are partially outside but adjacent to the Urban Service Area, and to continue to preserve the agricultural and natural character and function of the area, the county shall allow portions of TND projects to be located outside of the Urban Service Area. A minimum of 60% of the total project density shall be derived from the portion of the project located within the Urban Service Area. Density shall be calculated and allowed based upon: • the land use designation underlying the portion of the project within the Urban Service Area; and • 1 unit/acre for project property located outside of the Urban Service Area. Note: The rezoning and conceptual PD plan is consistent with this policy and approximately 92% of the maximum allowable density is derived from the portion of the project located within the Urban Service Area. Also, the project layout provides a 50' Urban Service Area buffer and estate lots in the area outside of the Urban Service Area. 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 and accompanying conceptual PD plan are consistent with the comprehensive plan. 107
