to the unique shape of the project site, some of the descriptions of the adjacent zoning and land use pattern are further separated into sub -sections. • North of the overall project boundary is the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge (PINWR), and is zoned CON -1, Public Lands Conservation District. o North of the southeast portion of the overall project site (i.e. the portion platted as Ocean Way Subdivision) is the Turtle Cove Subdivision, which is a conventional single-family subdivision that is zoned RS -3. East of the project site is Highway AIA. All of the properties east of Highway AIA, with exception of one privately owned, single-family parcel, are owned by the County, State, or Federal government. Those properties are undeveloped, and are zoned RS -3. • South of the overall project boundary is the original Windsor PD project. All of the original Windsor PD project is zoned RS -3. o South of the northeast portion of the overall project site is the Wabasso Estates Subdivision which is a conventional single-family subdivision that is zoned RS -3. • West of the project site is Jungle Trail and then the Indian River Lagoon. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with the goals, objectives, and policies of the comprehensive plan and must also be consistent with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future Land Use Map. 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 the following policies and objectives. Future Land Use Policy 2.2: Indian River County shall encourage and direct growth into the 2030 Urban Service Area through zoning, subdivision, and land development regulations. Such regulations shall promote efficient development by requiring utilization of the existing street system, extension of public facilities where necessary, connection to the centralized potable water and sanitary sewer systems where available, and incentives for mixed use projects. Note: The project site is located within the 2030 Urban Service Area, and will connect to the existing street system (Highway Al A). The project will be served by County water and sewer, and will provide an appropriate mix of single-family and multi -family units. Therefore, the proposed PD district and accompanying conceptual PD plan are consistent with Policy 2.2. Future Land Use Policy 5.3: Indian River County zoning districts shall permit a variety of residential building and development styles; and Future Land Use PolicYS_5: Indian River County LDRs shall contain a special Planned Development (PD) C:\Granicus\Legistar5\L5\Temp\3fOc5f79-d413-41d1-8479-flac8476495f.docx 135 5
