Recreation
<br />A review of county recreation facilities and the projected demand that would result from the
<br />most intense development that could occur on the property under the proposed zoning district
<br />indicates that the adopted levels of service would be maintained. The table below illustrates the
<br />additional park demand associated with the proposed development of the property and the
<br />existing surplus acreage.
<br />Concurrency Summary
<br />Based upon the analysis conducted, staff has determined that all concurrency -mandated facilities,
<br />including stormwater management, roads, solid waste, recreation, water, and wastewater, have
<br />adequate capacity to accommodate the most intense use of the subject property under the
<br />proposed zoning district. Therefore, the concurrency test has been satisfied for the subject
<br />request.
<br />Consistency with Comprehensive Plan
<br />Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with all applicable policies of the comprehensive
<br />plan. Rezomngs must also be consistent with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on
<br />the Future Land Use Map, which include agriculture, residential, recreation, conservation, and
<br />commercial and industnal land uses and their densities.
<br />The goals, objectives and policies are the most important parts of the comprehensive plan.
<br />Policies are statements in the plan that identify the actions which the county will take in order to
<br />direct the community's development. As courses of action committed to by the county, policies
<br />provide the basis for all county land development decisions. While all comprehensive plan
<br />policies are important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing rezoning requests.
<br />Of particular applicability for this request are the following objectives and policies.
<br />Future Land Use Element Objective 1
<br />Future Land Use Element Objective 1 states that the county will have a compact land use pattern
<br />which reduces urban sprawl By allowing the site to be developed in a manner that is consistent
<br />with the site's land use designation, the request allows a more compact land use pattern within
<br />the urban service area and reduces the chances that urban sprawl will occur. For these reasons,
<br />the request is consistent with Future Land Use Element Objective 1.
<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, Future
<br />Land Use Element Policy 1.11 states that these residential uses must be located within the urban
<br />service area.
<br />Since the subject property is located within an area designated as L-2 on the county's Future
<br />Land Use Map and is located within the county's urban service area, and the proposed zoning
<br />districts would permit residential uses no greater than the 6 units/acre permitted by the L-2
<br />designation, the proposed request is consistent with Policies 1.11 and 1.12.
