• The proposed PD is consistent with these policies in that the PD plan proposes a variety of residential product types in a design that exceeds open space minimums and buffers project perimeters. • Future Land Use Element Policies 1.11 and 1.12 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.12 states that the L-1, Low Density Residential 1, land use designation is intended for residential uses with densities up to 3 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-1 on the county's future land use plan map and is located within the county's urban service area, the proposed zoning district proposes residential uses less than 3 units/acre in accordance with the L-1 designation. Therefore, the proposed request is consistent with Policies 1.11 and 1.12. While the referenced policies and objectives are particularly applicable to this request, other comprehensive plan policies and objectives also have relevance. For that reason, staff evaluated the subject request for consistency with all plan policies and objectives. Based upon that analysis, staff determined that the request is generally consistent with the comprehensive plan. Based on population projections and current development patterns, residential development in this area of the county is expected to increase and eventually become the dominant land use. Since the project area is located within the Urban Service Area and is designated for low-density residential development, the proposed rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The property that will be most impacted by the proposed development and rezoning is the f 10 acre parcel located adjacent to the southwest comer of the development. This adjacent, residentially designated parcel is located between the proposed development and 58* Avenue on the west and 911 Street SW on the south. Given the additional setbacks and buffering proposed, the proposed residential development should be compatible with the residential use of the not -included parcel . For these reasons, staff feels that the requested PD rezoning will be compatible with the surrounding zoning. • Environmental Impacts and Concurrency These issues will be analyzed in the PD plan analysis. ■ 1. 2. 3. r9 PD Plan Analysis Size: Zoning Classifications: 217.30 acres Current: A-1, Agricultural (1 units/5 acres) RS -3, Residential Single -Family (up to 3 units/acre) Proposed: PD, Planned Development (up to 3 units/acre) Land Use Designation: Density: July 13, 1999 L-1, Low Density 1 (up to 3 units/acre) 645 units on 217.30 acres = 2.96 units/acre 49 BOOK, 10J PAGE 796
