FF, 0 BOOK i f - C,i`G'- L �s,d L (L, Recreation A review of county recreation facilities and the projected demand that would result from the most intense development that could occur on the Subject Property 2 under the proposed zoning district indicates that the adopted levels of service would be maintained. The following table illustrates the additional park demand associated with the proposed development of the property and the existing surplus park acreage. PARK INFORMATION LOS (Acres per 1,000 Population) Project Demand (Acres) Surplus Park Acreage 4.0 0.028 232 Based upon the analysis conducted, staff has determined that all concurrency -mandated facilities, including drainage, mads, solid waste, recreation, water, and wastewater, have adequate capacity to accommodate the most intense use of Subject Property 2 under the proposed zoning district. Therefore, the concurrency test has been satisfied for the subject request. Land use amendment and rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of the comprehensive plan. Those requests must also be consistent with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, which includes agricultural, residential, recreational, conservation, and commercial and industrial land uses and their densities. Commercial and industrial land uses are located in nodes throughout the unincorporated areas of Indian River County. 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 land use amendment and rezoning requests. Of particular applicability for this request are the following policies. Future Land Use Element Policy 143 In evaluating a land use amendment request, the most important consideration is Future Land Use Element Policy 14.3. This policy requires that one of four criteria be met in order to approve a land use amendment request. These criteria are: • The proposed amendment will correct a mistake in the approved plan; • The proposed amendment will correct an oversight in the approved plan; • The proposed amendment is warranted based on a substantial change in circumstances affecting the subject property; or • The proposed amendment involves a swap or reconfiguration of land use designations at separate sites and that swap or reconfiguration will not increase the overall land use density or intensity depicted on the Future Land Use Map.
