Through that process <br />potential impacts can often be mitigated by site design such as the placement of buildings, <br />parldng areas, open space, stormwater management areas, and landscaping. <br />For these reasons, staff feels the requested zoning district would be compatible with adjacent <br />residential development. <br />Environmental protection regulations for the subject property are the same under both the existing <br />RS -6 and the requested RM -6 zoning districts. In either case, the county's 10115% set aside <br />requirement applies to native upland plant communities on site. The isolated wetlands on the site <br />are protected by federal, state and local regulations. If an environmental survey indicates that listed <br />species live on the site, federal and state regulations apply. For these reasons, no adverse <br />environmental impacts associated with this request are anticipated. <br />Based on the analysis, staff has determined that the requested zoning district is compatible with <br />surrounding areas, is consistent with the comprehensive plan, meets all concurrency criteria, will <br />have no negative impacts on environmental quality, and meets all applicable rezoning criteria. Most <br />importantly, the subject property is located in an area deemed suited for multiple -family residential <br />uses. For these 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 RS -6 to RM -6 <br />by adopting the attached ordinance. <br />1.
