include employee support facilities such as fitness centers, day care centers, or cafeterias. Residential uses are prohibited, except that one ( 1) onsite caretaker dwelling may be permissible. 2. 01. 04 Recreation and Open Space Districts A. REC— Recreation and Open Space Zoning District The recreation and open space zoning district is established to provide locations for passive recreation uses, such as passive parks, open spaces, and areas designated for protection, such as water bodies, shorelines, and habitats for protected species. 2. 01. 05 Zoning District Comparison to Future Land Use Categories A. The Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan establishes allowable land uses within the City. The zoning districts set forth within this LDC must be consistent with the Future Land Use Map. Any rezoning of land must maintain this consistency. Table 2.01. 05 sets for the allowable zoning districts which are consistent with each land use category from the Future Land Use Map. B. From time to time it is necessary to assign a zoning district to land due to annexation or to assign a new zoning district in a rezoning action. The following criteria shall be applied to the determination of the appropriate zoning district. I. Whether the requested zoning district is consistent with the future land use category according to Table 2. 01. 05. 2. Whether the uses within the requested zoning district are compatible with the uses in adjacent zoning districts. Compatibility is determined by considering scale of use; intensity of use as determined by floor area ratio and impervious surface coverage; hours of operation; impacts from noise in parking lots or structures; noise from outdoor gathering places ( recreation areas, plazas, courtyards); noise from outdoor speakers; noise from processes such as body shops, equipment shops, and industrial activities; lighting from parking lots or structures and vehicles; security lighting. Compatibility shall consider the range of allowable uses on parcels adjacent to the proposed rezoning parcel and the typical impacts for those uses. 3. Whether the requested use is substantially more intense or less intense that allowable development on adjacent parcels. The range of uses permissible according to the land use category and zoning district on the adjacent parcels is the basis for determination. The existence of a nonconforming use on adjacent parcels which is substantially more or less intense than the requested zoning shall not establish the sole reason for denial of the requested zoning. 4. Whether the requested use is based on soil types, topography, protection of natural resources, and protection of designated historic areas. ra „ e 2 - 5 Uecemher 15, 2011 nning Ilistricls end k wo Packet Pg. 42  F-31 a I tib[ on Beach FINAL DRAFT L sod D"']' opmenl Code Table 2. 01. 05.
