Plan, the natural extension of Sebastian neighborhoods, and the Sebastian transitional area, the County has concerns and has expressed them throughout the entire process of negotiating the Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement (ISBA). Director Keating stated that specifically, the County feels that the natural expansion of Sebastian neighborhoods is really urban sprawl, and if the City sets up some design guidelines to make sure that it develops in a non -sprawl manner, that is what the County would be looking for and would feel comfortable with. The County also felt the transitional area is denser than the current 1/unitper 5 -acres that the County has, but it is still not really dense enough to actually have a good development pattern. From the County's perspective, the general standard was that any annexed property outside the Urban Service Area would have to have unanimous approval of all parties to change the land use and density, and this would be an exemption to that. The County's perspective all along was that, to be an exemption or an exception to the general rule, it would have to reflect good planning. The County believes Sebastian can get there, and does not think there needs to be many changes with the WEC, but has problems with the other two (2) components. B.
