- Future Land Use Element Policy 1.14 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.14 states that single-family, multiple -family, and mobile home residential uses with a density of up to 10 units/acre are permitted in areas designated as M-2, Medium -Density Residential -2, on the future land use map. Since the subject property is designated M-2, Medium -Density Residential - 2, the requested. RS -6 .zoning is consistent with Future Land Use Policy 1.14. While the County's comprehensive plan controls density for all residential areas in the County, the plan does not control housing type. Consequently, single-family, multiple -family, or mobile home development could be allowed in an area designated as M-2 on the County land use plan; housing type is controlled by zoning. In this case, the subject property was zoned RMH-8 based on existing development patterns and with the intent that mobile home development would provide a transition from industrial to the south to single-family to the north. As part of the staff analysis, all policies in the comprehensive plan were considered. Based upon this analysis, staff determined that the proposed rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Potential Impact on Environmental Quality Environmental impacts of residential development on the subject property would be the same under either the existing or the proposed zoning district. The site has been cleared, and contains no environmentally important land, such as wetlands or uplands. Therefore, development of the site is anticipated to have little or no impact on environmental quality. For this reason, no adverse environmental impacts associated with this request are anticipated. CONCLUSION The proposed RS -6 zoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan, compatible with all surrounding land uses, and would cause no adverse impacts on the environment or the provision of public services. For these reasons, staff supports the request to change the zoning. RECOMMENDATION Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request to rezone the subject property from RMH-8 to RS -6. ATTACEMENTS 1.
