As -per section 910.07(2) of the Concurrency Management Chapter of the County's Land Development Regulations, projects which do not increase density or intensity of use are exempt from concurrency requirements. This rezoning request is exempt from concurrency review because the requested zoning would not increase the use intensity of the site. By changing the zoning of the subject property from CH to IL, manufacturing and industrial uses not currently allowed would be permitted on the site. However, because the most intense use of the property would be the same with either zoning district, changing the property's zoning from CH to IL would not create additional impacts on any concurrency facilities. When new development is proposed detailed concurrency analysis development approval process. for the subject property, a more will be conducted during the Compatibility with the Surrounding Area Staff's position is that a light industrial zoning district would be appropriate for the subject property and would result in development compatible with surrounding property. The principal impacts of development on. the subject property would be on the 13 lots in the Vero Shores _ subdivision that abut US 1 east of the subject property. Four of those lots are currently developed. There are, however, several circumstances which would serve to mitigate the potential impacts associated with this request. Those circumstances are listed below. • US 1 provides at least 130 feet of physical separation between the subject property and Vero Shores. • Required front and rear yard setbacks (20 feet for buildings in the Vero Shores subdivision and 25 feet for the subject property) provide additional separation. • Development of the site will require the installation and maintenance of buffers and landscaping. • All industrial development is required to undergo site plan review. Through this process,' potential impacts will be minimized with site design. • The large overlap of uses permitted under both the proposed IL zoning district and the existing CH zoning district reduces the chances that granting this request will result in an increase in impacts on the surrounding area. For these reasons, the proposed rezoning can be expected to have an insignificant impact on the adjacent property. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of the comprehensive plan. Rezonings must also be consistent with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, which include agriculture, residential, recreation, conservation, and commercial and industrial land uses and their densities. Commercial and industrial land uses are located in nodes throughout the unincorporated areas of Indian River County. 19 JANUARY 2 1996 BOOK 9.7 PACE 1
