Concurrency of Public Facilities This site is located within the county Urban Service Area, an area deemed suited for urban scale development. The Comprehensive Plan establishes standards for: Transportation, Potable Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste , Drainage and Recreation . The adequate provision of these services is necessary to ensure the continued quality of life enjoyed by the community . The Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations (LDRs ) also require that new development be reviewed to ensure that the minimum acceptable standards for these services and facilities are maintained . Policy 3 . 2 of the Future Land Use Element states that no development shall be approved unless it is consistent with the concurrency management system component of the Capital Improvements Element. For rezoning requests , conditional concurrency review is required . Conditional concurrency review examines the available capacity of each facility with respect to a proposed project. Since rezoning requests are not projects , county regulations call for the concurrency review to be based upon the most intense use of the subject property based upon the requested zoning . For residential rezoning requests , the most intense use ( according to the County ' s LDRs ) is the maximum number of single- family units that could be built on the site , given the size of the property and the maximum density under the proposed zoning . The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows : 1 . Size of Area to be Rezoned : X0.34 acres 2 . Existing Zoning District: RMH- 8, Mobile Home Residential District (up to 8 units/acre ) 3 . Proposed Zoning District : RM-8, Multiple-Family Residential District ( up to 8 units/acre) 4 . Most Intense Use of Subject Property Under Existing Zoning District : 242 Single- Family Units 5 . Most Intense Use of Subject Property Under Proposed Zoning District: 242 Single- Family Units As per section 910 . 07 (2 ) of the Concurrency Management Chapter of the County ' s LDRs , projects which do not increase densis or intensity of use are exempt from concurrency requirements . This rezoning request is exempt from concurrency review because the requested zoning would not increase the allowed density of the site . Because the most intense use of the property will not increase, changing the property ' s zoning from RMH- 8 to RM - 8 will not create additional impacts on any concurrency facilities . In this case , a detailed concurrency analysis will be done in conjunction with any new development on site . That concurrency analysis will address facility service levels and demand . Consistency with Comprehensive Plan Rezoning requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of the comprehensive plan . Rezonings must also be consistent with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, which include agriculture , residential . recreation , conservation , and commercial and industrial land uses and their densities . Commercial and industrial land uses are located in nodes throughout the unincorporated areas of Indian River County . SEPTEMBER 18 , 2001 , rG X08 - 50 -
