I • 1. Size of Area to be Rezoned: 2. Existing Zoning District: 3. Proposed Zoning District: 4. Most Intense Use of Subject Property Under Existing Zoning District: 5. Most Intense Use of Subject Property Under Proposed Zoning District: BOOK M PAGE f40 acres RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre) RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre) 240 Single -Family Units 240 Single -Family Units As per section 910.07(2) of the Concurrency Management Chapter of the County's LDRs, projects which do not increase density or intensity of use are exempt from concurrency requirements. This rezoning request is exempt from concurrency review because the requested zoning would not increase the allowed density of the site. Because the most intense use of the property will not increase, changing the property's zoning from RS -6 to RM -6 will not create additional impacts on any concurrency facilities. In this case, a detailed concurrency analysis will be done in conjunction with any new development on site. That concurrency analysis will address facility service levels and demand. Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of the comprehensive plan. Rezonings must also be consistent with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, which include agriculture, residential, recreation, 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 decisions. While all comprehensive plan policies are important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing rezoning requests. Of particular applicability for this request are the following objectives and policies. Future Land Use Element Policies 1.11 and 1.12 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.12 states that the L-2, Low -Density Residential -2, land use designation is intended for residential uses with densities up to 6 units/acre. In addition, Future Land Use Element Policy 1.11 states that these residential uses must be located within the urban service area Since the subject property is located within an area designated as L-2 on the county's future land use plan map and is located within the county's urban service area, and the proposed zoning district would allow residential uses no greater than the 6 units/acre permitted by the L-2 designation, the proposed request is consistent with Policies 1.11 and 1.12.
