Based upon the analysis conducted, staff has determined that all
<br />concurrency -mandated facilities, including drainage, roads, solid
<br />waste, recreation, water, and wastewater have adequate capacity to
<br />accommodate the most intense use of the subject property under the
<br />proposed zoning. Therefore, the concurrency test has been
<br />satisfied for the subject request.
<br />Consistency with Comprehensive Plan
<br />Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of
<br />the comprehensive plan. Rezoning requests must also be consistent
<br />with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future
<br />Land Use Map, which includes agricultural, residential,
<br />recreational, conservation, and commercial and industrial land uses
<br />and their densities. Commercial .and industrial land uses are
<br />located in nodes throughout the. unincorporated areas of Indian
<br />River County.
<br />The goals, objectives and policies are the most important parts of
<br />the comprehensive plan. Policies are statements in the plan which
<br />identify the actions which the county will take in order to direct
<br />the. community's development. As courses of action committed to by
<br />the county, policies provide the basis for all county land
<br />development related decisions. While all comprehensive plan
<br />policies are important, some have more applicability than others in
<br />reviewing rezoning requests. Of particular applicability for this
<br />request are Future Land Use Element Policies 1.11 and 1.12.
<br />- Future Land Use Element Policies 1.11 and 1.12
<br />Future Land Use Element Policy 1.12 states that the L-1, Low -
<br />Density Residential -1, land use designation is intended for
<br />residential uses with densities up to 3 units/acre. In addition,
<br />Future Land Use Element Policy 1.11 states that these residential
<br />uses must be located within an existing or future urban service
<br />area.
<br />Since the subject property is located within an area designated as -
<br />L -1 on the county's future land use plan map and is located within
<br />the county's urban service area, and the proposed zoning district
<br />would permit residential uses no denser than 3 units/acre, the
<br />proposed request is consistent with Policies 1.11 and 1.12.
<br />While policies 1.11 and 1.12 are particularly applicable to this
<br />request, other comprehensive plan policies also have relevance.
<br />For that reason, staff evaluated the subject request for
<br />consistency with all plan policies. Based upon that analysis,
<br />staff determined that the request is consistent with the
<br />comprehensive plan.
