D. County Zoning The County zoning of the subject property is Agriculture (A-20a). The majority of the surrounding properties are zoned A-5a, A-10a and A- 20a. Also, there are several A-5a parcels approximately 1,000 feet to the south east of the subject parcel that were previously rezoned from A-20a to A-5a in accordance with Ordinance No. 06-59 on May 12, 2006, Ordinance No. 96-25 on March 18, 1996 and Ordinance No. 95- 46 on March 21, 1995. If approved, the site would be subdivided in a manner generally meeting with both the Zoning and Subdivision Codes. Notwithstanding the subdivision requirements, all uses and standards consistent with the requested (A-5a) zone would be adhered to. E. Relationship to SMA Objectives and Policies The site is located approximately 6 miles from the coastlines and outside the County Special Management Area (SMA). The entire island falls within the Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Area. Thus, a discussion of the request's relationship to the CZM Program follows. The site is not adjacent to the ocean. It sits approximately 6 miles from the shoreline at an elevation of approximately 2,800 — 2,900 feet. As such, the proposed action should not have any adverse impacts on the area's coastal recreational and marine resources nor have any impacts on beach protection. The likelihood of this improvement having any impacts on the area's historic resources is not high. However, in the event any archaeological features are found during any earth disturbance activity, work will stop within the affected area and appropriate clearances from the State DLNR-HPD and County Planning Department will be secured before work resumes. If needed, an archaeological monitoring program can be instituted during any land clearing activity. The proposed action may eventually involve the construction of improvements (particularly dwelling units) in an agriculture setting. Accordingly, there is a potential visual impact to the area's scenic and open space resources. However, the project would involve the construction of, at most, a single-family dwelling on each of the 4
