• <br />- Future Land Use Element Policy 1.3 <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 1.3 states that the county shall maintain its zoning districts to <br />ensure the implementation of the comprehensive plan. The subject request would change the zoning <br />of the subject property from a district that does not implement the comprehensive plan to a district <br />that does implement the comprehensive plan. For that reason, the subject request implements Future <br />Land Use Element Policy 1.3. <br />- Future Land Use Element Policies 1.13 and 1.14 <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 1.13 states that the M-1, Medium -Density Residential -1, land use <br />designation is intended for residential uses with densities up to eight units/acre. In addition, that <br />policy states that those residential uses must be located within an existing or future urban service <br />area. Future Land Use Element Policy 1.14 specifically allows both single- and multiple -family <br />residential development with densities up to eight units/acre within the M-1 land use category. <br />Because the subject property is located within an area designated as M-1 on the county's future land <br />use plan map and is located within the county's urban service area, and the proposed zoning district <br />would permit residential uses no denser than six unitstacre, the proposed request is consistent with <br />Future Land Use Element Policies 1.13 and 1.14. <br />While Future Land Use Element Policies 1.3, 1.13, and 1.14 are particularly applicable to this <br />request, other comprehensive plan policies and objectives also have relevance. For that reason, staff <br />evaluated the subject request for consistency with all plan policies and objectives. Based upon that <br />analysis, staff determined that the request is consistent with the comprehensive plan. <br />Environmental protection regulations are the same for both the CG and the RM -6 zoning districts. <br />Because the subject property is not environmentally significant nor environmentally important, <br />development of the site will not impact significant natural resources. <br />The requested zoning is compatible with the surrounding area, and is consistent with the goals, <br />objectives, and policies of the comprehensive plan. Rezoning the site, as requested, will have no <br />negative impacts on environmental quality or the provision of public facilities and services. The <br />subject property is located in an area deemed suitable for residential development. The request <br />meets all applicable criteria. For those reasons, staff supports the request. <br />Based on the analysis, staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that the Board <br />of County Commissioners approve this request to rezone the subject property from the CG, General <br />Commercial, District to RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre) by adopting <br />the attached ordinance. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
