USE TABLE MED. District Uses Proposed PD District Uses Hospitals, medical offices, outpatient services, Single-family, duplex and multi -family residential assisted living facilities, and multi -family units residential uses at an RM -8 equivalency It should be noted that, if the PD rezoning is approved, the approved conceptual PD plan will be included as an actual exhibit to the rezoning ordinance. In addition to the above -referenced project standards, the conceptual PD plan also regulates buffering, certain design improvements, and the overall subdivision layout, including the "alternate" conceptual layout for the single-family and duplex units. At the applicant's request, the PD rezoning ordinance also includes a 10 -year reverter to the site's current MED zoning district which is consistent with the surrounding area. As structured, the proposed rezoning ordinance reverter provides that if no project development commences within 10 years from the date of conceptual PD plan approval, that approval will expire and the entire property zoning will revert to MED. PD REZONING ANALYSIS: Existing Zoning and Land Use Pattern: The overall project site is approximately 78.29 acres. The entire project site consists of abandoned citrus groves that have since been cleared. • North of the project site is 41St Street. There are two residential single-family subdivisions located on the north side of 41St Street. The western subdivision is known as Casa Bella (f.k.a. Indian River Courts PD), was approved as a residential PD, and is zoned RM -8. The eastern subdivision is known as Lily's Cay, was approved as a residential plat -over site plan development, and is zoned RM -6. • East of the project site is a vacant abandoned citrus grove (Riverfront Groves Inc.) and the Solaris Assisted Living Facility, and both properties are zoned MED. • South of the project site is a number of properties containing medical offices, outpatient clinics, residential centers, and assisted living facilities. All of the properties to the south are zoned MED. • West of the project site is several large vacant properties that are zoned MED. At the southwest corner of the project site is 17"' Avenue and 39' Street, and the W.E. Geoffreys Subdivision which is zoned RM -8. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with the goals, objectives, and policies of the comprehensive plan and must also be consistent with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future Land Use Map. 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 land development related 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 the following policies and objectives. 58
