BOOK 96 P,.0 720 <br />proposed amendment, the maximum area of impervious surface would be <br />approximately 228,690 square feet, or 5.25 acres. The maximum <br />runoff volume, based on that amount of impervious surface and the <br />25 year/24 hour design storm, and given the IRFWCD 2 inch discharge <br />requirement, would be approximately 541,868 cubic feet. In order <br />to maintain the county's adopted level of service, the applicant <br />would be required to retain approximately 358,916 cubic feet of <br />runoff on-site. With the soil characteristics of the subject <br />property, it is estimated that the pre -development runoff rate is <br />91.35 cubic feet/second. <br />Based upon staff's analysis, the drainage level of service standard <br />would be met by limiting off-site discharge to the IRFWCD's maximum <br />discharge rate of 2 inches in 24 hours, and requiring retention of <br />the 358,916 cubic feet of runoff for the most intense use of the <br />property. <br />As with all development, a more detailed review will be conducted <br />during the development approval process. <br />- Recreation <br />A review of county recreation facilities and the projected demand <br />that would result from the most intense development that could <br />occur on the property under the proposed zoning classification <br />indicates that the adopted levels of service would be maintained. <br />The table below illustrates the additional park demand associated <br />with the proposed development of the property and the existing <br />surplus acreage by park type. <br />Project <br />LOS (Acres per Demand Surplus <br />Park Type 1000 population) Acres Acreage <br />Urban District 5.0 0.60 180.818 <br />Community (north) 3.0 0.36 17.550 <br />Beach 1.5 0.18 64.645 <br />River 1.5 0.18 25.642 <br />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-2, Low - <br />Density Residential -2, land use designation is intended for <br />DECEMBER 5, 1995 24 <br />
