Analysis <br /> Staff Analysis <br /> As required under Section 2.8.5 of the UDO, the Planning Director shall cause an analysis to be made <br /> of the application. In analyzing this request, the Planning Director offers the following: <br /> 1. The application is complete in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.8.3 of the UDO; <br /> 2. The proposal is consistent with goals/objectives outlined within the Orange County Comprehensive <br /> Plan concerning development, including: <br /> a. Planning Principle 2. Sustainable Growth and Development: Growth and development <br /> within the county should occur in a pattern, location, and density that is sustainable over the <br /> long-term. <br /> Staff Comment: The property is designated 20 Year Transition on the Future Land Use <br /> Map (FLUM), which is defined in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as "land located in areas <br /> that are in the process of changing from rural to urban, that are suitable for urban-type <br /> densities and should be provided with public utilities and services within the second 10-year <br /> phase of the Plan." A small portion of the parcel is designated Rural Residential which is <br /> defined in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as "land in the rural areas of the County which is <br /> appropriate for low intensity and low-density residential development and which would not <br /> be dependent on urban services during the plan period." <br /> By rezoning the property, the existing MPD-CZ (Master Plan Development- Conditional <br /> Zoning) district, approved by the Board of County Commissioners in 2015 to allow for 34 <br /> residences on 22 acres of the parcel, will cease to exist. The proposed R-1 (Rural <br /> Residential) zoning district meets the goals of both this planning principle and the overlay <br /> district, which identifies the parcel as a location where both a land use maintaining rural <br /> character and a use that increases density with potential for a residential development are <br /> encouraged. <br /> b. Planning Principle 5. Preservation of Rural Land Use Pattern: The County's rural areas are <br /> a cherished component of the County's character. Future development should preserve and <br /> enhance the county's rural landscape. <br /> Staff Comment: According to Appendix F: Relationships Between Land Use Classifications <br /> and Zoning Districts, the proposed R-1 (Rural Residential) zoning district is consistent with <br /> both the 20-Year Transition Land Use Classification, which is defined as "areas changing <br /> from rural to urban in form and density. All densities of residential development would be <br /> appropriate," and the Rural Residential Land Use Classification, defined in the 2030 <br /> Comprehensive Plan as "rural areas to be developed as low intensity and low density <br /> residential." The eligible zoning districts in the 20-Year Transition future land use <br /> classification include R-1 (Rural Residential). <br /> The request to zone the property to R-1 (Rural Residential) will assign the parcel the same <br /> zoning district as all surrounding properties and ensures that rural character and land use <br /> will be preserved. The R-1 zoning permits uses consistent with low density development <br /> and limits disturbance to surrounding rural lands. <br /> c. Planning Principle 6. Water Resources Preservation: The County has finite water resources <br /> to provide to future populations. The protection and management of the County's water <br /> resources should be a high priority. <br />
