Although used for agricultural purposes when the pian was adopted, that land is appropriate for urban use and should have been given an urban land use designation . When the plan was adopted , the county knew that utility lines were planned for 58 `" . 74`" , and 8 ? "d Avenues . The failure to include the subject properties within the USA . constitutes an oversight . For that reason , both the O ' Haire Proposal and staff s alternative meets Future Land Use Element Policy 14 . 3 ' s second criterion and are consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 14 . 3 . Summary of Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan While the referenced policy is particularly applicable to this request, other comprehensive plan policies and objectives also have relevance . For that reason , staff evaluated both the O ' Haire Proposal and the Staff Alternative Proposal for consistency with all applicable plan policies and objectives . Based upon that analysis , staff determined that both proposals are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan . Compatibility with the Surrounding Area While development under either the O ' Haire proposal or the staff proposal could be compatible with surrounding areas , development under the staff proposal is more likely to be compatible . The staff proposal is more likely to be compatible because it contains several provisions (" implemented by the associated text amendment) that somewhat lessen agricultural/urban incompatibilities . Those provisions include the following : • Residential projects on T designated land must provide a 300 foot wide ( or up to ?5 % of project area width, whichever is less ) , Type A buffer where the project abuts , or is across right-of- way from, an agricultural land use designation . The Type A buffer is the countv ' s densest vegetative buffer. This setback and buffer will somewhat rrutigate agncultural impacts such as noise, odor, and spray drift . • Caribbean Fruit Fly host plants will be prohibited on T designated land . • Buyers of platted lots in residential projects on T designated land must be notified of the Florida Right to Farm Act, and that active agricultural operations occur nearby . In contrast. the O ' Haire proposal does not contain any specific provisions to address potential incompatibilities . Therefore , incompatibilities could increase under the O ' Haire Proposal because the O ' Haire proposal results in residential property abutting agricultural property . Presently , road and canal right-of- way provide several hundred feet of separation between residential and agricultural . Potential Impact on Environmental Quality As indicated in the Existing Land Use Pattern section of this report , a significant portion of the land of the subject properties has been altered for residential or agricultural development. Since most of the land has been disturbed, few natural areas remain within the bounds of the subject property . Therefore , the proposed change will not have a significant effect on environments ] 4 ual � v rt . With respect to the natural area within the subject property ' s limits , it should be noted that any residential development will need to comply with the county ' s land development regulations , including its environmental provisions . Various environmental permits , including land clearing and tree removal permits , must be obtained prior to development. In addition , the county ' s native upland plant community set-aside requirement will apply to properties at least five acres in size . The proposed amendment will not result in an increase in potential adverse environmental impacts on the subject property . JUNE 59 2001 - 93 - s `ss e #94 r 77� c - 41 u
