BOOK 98 PArF 604 As with all development, a more detailed review will be conducted during the development approval process. - Recreation A review of county recreation facilities and the projected demand that would result from the most intense development that could occur on the property under the proposed zoning classification indicates that the adopted levels of service would be maintained. The table below illustrates the additional park demand associated with the proposed development of the property and the existing surplus acreage by park type. Based upon the analysis conducted, staff has determined that all concurrency -mandated facilities, including drainage, roads, solid waste, recreation, water, and wastewater, have adequate capacity to accommodate the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed zoning. Therefore, the concurrency test has been satisfied for the subject request. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of the comprehensive plan. Rezoning requests must also be consistent with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, which includes agricultural, residential, recreational, 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. The goals, objectives and policies are the most important parts of the comprehensive plan. Policies are statements in the plan which identify the actions which the county will take in order to direct the community's development. As courses of action committed to by the county, policies provide the basis for all county land development related decisions. While all comprehensive plan policies are important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing rezoning requests. Of particular applicability for this request are Future Land Use Element Policies 1.11 and 1.12. - Future Land Use Element Policies 1.11 and 1.12 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.12 states that the L-2, Low - Density Residential -2, land use designation is intended for residential uses with densities up to 6 units/acre. In addition, Future Land Use Element Policy 1.11 states that these residential uses must be located within an existing or future urban service area. Since the subject property is located within an area designated as L-2 on the county's future land use plan map and is located within the county's urban service area, and the proposed zoning district would permit residential uses no greater than the 6 units/acre permitted by the L-2 designation, the proposed request 'is consistent with Policies 1.11 and 1.12. 28 JULY 239 1996 LOS Project (Acres per Demand Surplus Park Type 1000 population) Acres Acreage Urban District 5.0 0.49 178.945 Community (north) 3.0 0.29 17.110 Beach 1.5 0.15 64.080 River 1.5 0.15 25.077 Based upon the analysis conducted, staff has determined that all concurrency -mandated facilities, including drainage, roads, solid waste, recreation, water, and wastewater, have adequate capacity to accommodate the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed zoning.
