• The proposed land use amendment meets the policy's fourth criterion. As specifically cited in the policy, 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. For those reasons, the proposed amendment meets the fourth criterion of Future Land Use Element Policy 14.3 and is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 14.3. Future Land Use Element Policv 1.11 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.11 states that the Low -Density Residential land use designations are intended for land that is located within the urban service area and near existing urban centers. Located within the urban service area and near the City of Sebastian, Subject Property I meets those criteria. Under the proposed amendment, Subject Property 1 would have a Low -Density Residential land use designation. For that reason, the request is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1.11. Future Land Use Element Policy 1.15 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.15 states that the Commercial/Industrial land use designation shall be limited to lands that are located within the urban service area and near existing urban centers. Located within the urban service area and near the City of Sebastian, Subject Property 2 meets those criteria. Under the proposed amendment, Subject Property 2 would have a CommerciaVlndustrial land use designation. For that reason, the request is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1.15. Future Land Use Element Policy 1.20 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.20 states that nodes shall have a designated size based on the intended use and service area population, existing land use pattern and other demand characteristics. The amount of C/I designated land is based on service area population, the existing land use pattern, and other demand characteristics. The proposed amendment will not alter the amount of C/I designated land. Therefore, the proposed amendment is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1.20. Future Land Use Element Policy 1.22 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.22 states that 70% of the land area of a node should be developed with non-residential and non-agricultural uses before that node is considered for expansion. The intent of this policy is to regulate increases in the amount of C/I designated land. Since the proposed amendment does not increase in the amount of C/I designated land in the subject node. Future Land Use Element Policy 1.22's 70% developed standard does not apply to this amendment. Economic Development Element Policy 1.8 Economic Development Element Policy 1.8 states that the county shall evaluate the size and location of nodes to ensure they can properly provide for growth. Since the proposed amendment reconfigures the subject node to better provide for growth, the proposed amendment implements Economic Development Element Policy 1.8.
