Item F — Whether or not there have been changed conditions which would warrant an amendment. The Applicant's justification of change states that: "the site is currently zoned A-1 within the Future Land Use of L-2, and the site is 19.35 acres. The site is located on the west side of AlA connecting via Island Club Manor, and south of County Road 510. The vision of the project is to create a residential subdivision with future homesites that are close to % of an acre in size and vistas onto the Indian River Lagoon. The gross density of the proposed site is under 1 du/acre at 0.82 dwelling units per acre. The underlying Future Land Use supports up to 6 units per acres, so the request to amend the zoning district to RS -3 is justified. Moving to the RS -3 is consistent with the underlying future land use, and propose project presents a lower density than any of the adjacent developments." The property is surrounded on two sides with conservation land use. Given the surrounding environmental and refuge preservation considerations, a low-density residential subdivision with homesites that are almost an acre in size as a proposed land use is more compatible than the existing underlying land use that potentially allows land uses of up to 6 units per acre. A higher density is more likely to be incompatible with conservation efforts. Item G — Whether or not the proposed amendment would decrease the level of service established in the comprehensive plan for sanitary sewer, potable water, solid waste, drainage, and recreation. Based upon the analysis conducted by staff it has been determined that all concurrency -mandated facilities, including stormwater management, solid waste, water, wastewater, and recreation have adequate capacity to accommodate the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed rezoning. Per the County LDRs, the applicant may be required to pay connection and other customary fees and comply with other routine administrative procedures. If approved, rezoning does not guarantee any vested rights to receive water and wastewater treatment service. As with all development, a more detailed concurrency review will be conducted during the development review process. Per Section 910.07 of the LDRs, a conditional concurrency review examines the available capacity of each facility with respect to a proposed project. Since rezoning requests are not development projects, County regulations call for the concurrency review to be based upon the most intense use of the subject property allowed within the requested zoning district. For residential rezoning requests, the most intense use is the maximum number of units that could be built on the site, given the size of the property, and the maximum density allowed under the proposed zoning. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: 1. Size of Area to be rezoned: +19.6 acres 2. Existing Zoning District: A-1, Agricultural, up to 1 unit per 5 acres 3. Proposed Zoning District: RS -3, Single -Family Residential, up to 3 units per acre 5 157
