Currently, the subject property <br />is vacant land. To the west of the subject property are single-family homes. Single-family homes <br />also exist to north of the subject property, across 47th Street. An institutional use, the Gifford Middle <br />School, exists to the east of the subject property, across 28th Court. The existing health clinic is <br />located across 28th Court from the site in the Gifford Middle School general campus area but will be <br />relocated to the subject property via this project. The existing health clinic functions as an accessory <br />use to the school, which allows the clinic to be located on the School Board's RM -10 zoned site. <br />County owned land containing an historic church building and accessory `park" improvements <br />(includes restroom facilities) exists to the south of the subject property. <br />❖ Future Land Use Map Pattern <br />The subject property and the property to the south have a Public land use designation All <br />surrounding properties have an M-2, Medium Density (Up to 10 units per acre), land use <br />designation. The proposed PD rezomng of the subject property is consistent with the County's Future <br />Land Use Map. <br />CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with the policies of the comprehensive plan and <br />must also be consistent with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future Land Use <br />Map. These include agricultural, residential, recreation conservation, and commercial and industrial <br />land uses. Commercial and industrial land uses are located in nodes throughout the unincorporated <br />areas of Indian River County. <br />The goals, objectives and policies are the most important parts of the comprehensive plan. Policies <br />are statements in the plan that identify the actions which the County will take in order to direct the <br />community's development As courses of action committed to by the County, policies provide the <br />basis for all County land development related decisions. While all comprehensive plan policies are <br />important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing rezoning requests Of particular <br />applicability for this request are the following policies and objectives. <br />Future Land Use Policy 1.28 states that the Public land use designation shall be applied to land used <br />for public facilities and services. Since the proposed facility, which will be owned by a public entity <br />(Indian River County Hospital District), will house offices for the District and a public medical <br />services clinic, the proposed rezoning is consistent with policy 1.28 <br />November 5, 2002 <br />63 <br />• <br />
