BOOK 106 PAGE 0`2 7 <br />Land Use Map; which include agriculture, residential, recreation, conservation, and commercial and <br />industrial land uses and their densities. Commercial and industrial land uses are located in nodes <br />throughout the unincorporated areas of Indian River County. <br />The goals, objectives and policies are the most important parts of the comprehensive plan. Policies <br />are statements in the plan which identify the actions which the county will take in order to direct the <br />community's development. As courses of actioii committed to by -die county, policies provide the <br />basis for all county land development decisions. While all comprehensive plan policies are <br />important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing rezoning requests. Of particular <br />applicability for this request are the following objectives and policies. <br />- Future Land Use Element Policies 1.11 and 1.12 <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 1.12 states that the L-2, Low -Density Residential -2, land use <br />designation is intended for residential uses with densities up to 6 units/acre. In addition, Future Land <br />Use Element Policy 1.11 states that these residential uses must be located within the urban service <br />area. <br />Since the subject property is located within an area designated as L-2 on the county's future land use <br />plan map and is located within the county's urban service area, and the proposed zoning district <br />would permit residential uses no greater than the 6 units/acre permitted by the L-2 designation, the <br />proposed request is consistent with Policies 1.11 and 1.12. <br />- Future Land Use Element Policy 2.2 <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 2.2 states that the county shall encourage and direct growth into <br />the urban service area through zoning and LDRs. Since the proposed rezoning would allow and <br />encourage more development on the subject property, and the subject property is within the urban <br />service area, the request implements Future Land Use Element Policy 2.2. <br />- Future Land Use Element Objective 4 <br />Future Land Use Element Objective 4 states that the county will reduce the number and length of <br />trips on county roads. The site is located near several employment centers, including the Vero Beach <br />Municipal Airport, Dodgertown, the SR 60/1-95 commercial/industrial node, and the SR 60/58th <br />Avenue commercial/industrial node. Those nodes are two of the county's largest employment <br />centers. Most people who work in those nodes live in moderately -priced, low to medium density <br />housing. The RM -6 zoning district is intended for such uses. Therefore, the proposed rezoning will <br />increase the opportunity for people who work in those nodes to live near their job, thus reducing the <br />length of their trips to and from work. For this reason, the request implements Future Land Use <br />Element Objective 4. <br />- Transportation Element Objective 11 and Policy 11.1 <br />Transportation Element Objective 11 and Policy 11.1 state that the county will increase densities in <br />the urbanized area and along major transportation corridors in order to facilitate future mass transit <br />provision. Since the proposed rezoning will increase the allowed density along and near several <br />major transportation corridors, this request implements Transportation Element Objective 11 and <br />Policy 11.1. <br />As part of its consistency analysis, staff.compared the proposed request to all the objectives and <br />policies in the plan and found no conflicts. Therefore, staffs position is that the request is consistent <br />with the comprehensive plan. <br />August 25, 1998 <br />32 <br />
