As per section 910.07 of the County's LDRs, conditional concurrency review examines the available capacity of each facility with respect to a proposed project. Since rezoning requests are not projects, county regulations call for the concurrency review to be based upon the most intense use of the subject property allowed within the requested rezoning district. As per section 910.07(2) of the Concurrency Management Chapter of the County's LDRs, projects which do not increase land use density or intensity are exempt from concurrency requirements. With respect to trip generation, potential commercial uses (assuming the most intense possible use) under the existing CG zoning could theoretically produce 12,793 daily trips, while the trip generation for a commercial recreational vehicle park under the CRVP zoning could theoretically produce 1,482 daily trips. Based on the above, this rezoning request is exempt from concurrency review because the requested zoning would not increase the use intensity of the site. When new development is proposed for the subject property, a more detailed concurrency analysis will be conducted during the development approval process. Consistencv with Comprehensive Plan Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with all applicable policies of the comprehensive plan. Rezoning requests must also be consistent with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future Land Use Map. In this case, the subject property is designated C/l, Commercial/Industrial, on the Future Land Use Map. Since CRVP zoning is allowed in the C/I designated area, the proposed zoning is consistent with the Future Land Use Map. Other than 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 that 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, Comprehensive Plan policies provide the basis for all County land 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 Objective 1, Future Land Use Element Policies 1. 17, 1.23, and 2.2, Economic Development Element Objective 6, and Future Land Use Element Table 2.14. Future Land Use Element Objective 1 Future Land Use Element Objective 1 states that the county will have a compact and energy efficient land use pattern. By allowing the site to be developed in a manner that is consistent with the site's land use designation, and by keeping a transient related residential option near the interstate freeway, the request allows a more compact and energy efficient land use pattern within the urban service area and reduces the chances that urban sprawl will occur. For these reasons, the request is consistent with Future Land Use Element Objective 1. 76
