PUBLIC HEARING <br />is not intended to provide for heavy commercial activities, such as commercial service uses, <br />heavy repair services nor industrial uses. <br />Analysis <br />The following analysis is per Chapter 902: Administrative Mechanisms, Section 902.12(3) which <br />states that all proposed amendments shall be submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission, <br />which shall consider such proposals in accordance with items (a) through (k) of Section 902.12(3). <br />Item A - Whether or not the proposed amendment is in conflict with any applicable portion <br />of the land development regulations. <br />Staff cannot identify any conflicts with the proposed rezoning and any of the land development <br />regulations. <br />Item B - Whether or not the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the Indian <br />River County Comprehensive Plan. <br />The goals, objectives, and policies are the most important parts of the comprehensive plan. <br />Policies are statements in the plan that identify the actions that the County will take in order to <br />direct the community's development. As courses of action committed to by the County, policies <br />provide the basis for all County land development decisions. While all comprehensive plan <br />policies are important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing rezoning requests. <br />Of particular applicability for this request are Future Land Use Element Policies 1. 17, 1.18, and <br />1.43. <br />Future Land Use Element Policies 1.17 and 1.18 <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 1.17 states that all commercial/industrial uses must be located <br />within the County's Urban Service Area. Future Land Use Element Policy 1.18 states that the <br />commercial/industrial land use designation allows uses, subject to applicable zoning district <br />regulations, that include business and personal services, retail, office, and storage/warehousing <br />uses. <br />Since the subject property is located within the County's Urban Service Area and the requested <br />CG district is intended for uses permitted within the commercial/industrial land use designation, <br />the request is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policies 1.17 and 1.18. <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 1.43 <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 1.43 provides criteria that the Board of County Commissioners <br />may use to determine whether or not a proposed zoning district is appropriate for a particular site. <br />Below are tables listing the specific rezoning criteria from Policy 1.43, the CG zoning district, and <br />staff determinations of how the criteria have been met. <br />2 <br />380 <br />
