Recreation
<br />A review of county recreation facilities and the projected demand that would result from the most
<br />intense development that could occur on the subject property under the proposed zoning district
<br />indicates that the adopted level of service would be maintained. The following table illustrates the
<br />additional park demand associated with the proposed development of the property and the existing
<br />surplus park acreage.
<br />Concurrency Summary
<br />Based upon the analysis conducted, staff has determined that all concurrency -mandated facilities,
<br />including stoimwater management, roads solid waste, recreation, water, wastewater, and parks have
<br />adequate capacity to accommodate the most intense use of the subject property under the pioposed
<br />zoning district. Therefore, the concunency test has been satisfied for the subject request.
<br />Consistency with Comprehensive Plan
<br />Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of the comprehensive plan.
<br />Rezonings must also be consistent with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future
<br />Land Use Map, which include agriculture, residential, recreation, conservation, and commercial and
<br />industrial land uses and their densities. Commercial and industrial land uses are located in nodes
<br />throughout the unincorporated 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 which 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 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.
<br />Future Land Use Element Policies 1.11 and 1.12
<br />Future Land Use Element Policy 1.12 states that the L-2, Low -Density Residential -2, land use
<br />designation is intended for residential uses with densities up to 6 units/acre. In addition, policy 1.11
<br />states that these residential uses must be located within the urban service area.
<br />Since the subject property is located within an area designated as L-2 on the county's future land use
<br />plan map and is located within the county's urban service area, and the proposed zoning district
<br />would permit residential uses no greater than 3 units/acre, which is less than the 6 units/acre
<br />permitted by the L-2 designation, the proposed request is consistent with Policies 1.11 and 1.12.
<br />Consistency Summary
<br />As part of its consistency analysis, staff compared the proposed request to all applicable objectives
<br />and -policies in the plan and found no conflicts. Therefore, the request is consistent with the
<br />comprehensive plan.
