• separate sites, and that swap or reconfiguration will not increase the overall land use density or intensity depicted on the Future Land Use Map. For those reasons, the proposed amendment meets the fourth criterion of Future Land Use Element Policy 14.3. Because the proposed amendment meets the policy's fourth criteria, the proposed amendment is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 14.3. Future Land Use Element Policies 1.11 and 1.12 Future Land Use Element Policies 1.11 and 1.12 state that the L-1, Low -Density Residential -1, land use designation should be within the urban service area and is intended for urban and suburban scale residential development with densities up to 3 units/acre. Located within the urban service area, and near existing low density residential development, Subject Property 2 is appropriate for residential development with a density of up to 3 units/acre. The proposed amendment would allow that type of low density residential development on Subject Property 2. Therefore, the proposed amendment is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policies 1.11 and 1.12. Future Land Use Element Policy 1.15 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.15 states that the Commercial/Industrial land use designation should be within the urban service area, in areas that are suitable for urban scale development and intensities. Located adjacent to Indian River Memorial Hospital property, within the urban service area, near US 1 and Indian River Boulevard, and with urban services available, Subject Property 1 is appropriate for commercial uses. The proposed amendment would allow commercial development on Subject Property 1. Therefore, the proposed amendment is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1.15. Future Land Use Element Policy 1.16 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.16 sets specific maximum intensities and densities for commercial/industrial development. Those standards limit the intensity of commercial/industrial development throughout the county. Therefore, through Future Land Use Element Policy 1. 16, the county has intensity standards for commercial/industrial development. Because any commercial/industrial development on either subject property would be subject to those standards, the request is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1.16. Future Land Use Element Policy 1.17 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.17 states that county land development regulations shall provide performance standards for commerciaUindustrial development which at a minimum address the following: • gross floor area; • impervious surface ratios; • minimum open space; • parldng; • buffering and landscaping; and • environmental impact.
