If.the subject property is developed at the maximum density allowed in the R -2D, Multiple Family District and under the provision of the Land Use Element, it is -estimated the com- pleted project would contain 330 units. This level of develop- ment is anticipated to generate approximately 198 afternoon peak hour trips. The existing afternoon peak hour trips of 1,600 combined with the anticipated afternoon peak hour trips represents an estimated 1,800 peak hour trips or 41% of capacity. The same -level of development is estimated to generate an additional 170 ADT, which combined with the present 9000 ADT on U.S. #1,, will total 9200 ADT. This total represents 38% of the capacity.l - It should be noted that the Comprehensive Plan .limits the development of environmentally sensitive areas to a maximum density of 1 unit/acre; The applicant has submitted docu- mentation of the environmentally sensitive areas. Staff has reviewed the survey and permit and finds that 20.7 a, -.-res, as. described, are environmentally sensitive. The proposed rezoning would eliminate the R-lMP and C -1A, Restricted Commercial districts which do not conform to the Comprehensive Plan. The R-3, Multiple -Family district allows a maximum density of 15 units/acre which exceeds the 6 units/ acre allowed under the Comprehensive Plan. In addition, development of the subject property in conventional housi g development at a maximum of 6 units/acre will provide a com- patible land use with both properties to the north and south of the subject property. The environmentally s-ensitive. ii:;�ea in the southeast section of the subject property.•.will provide a visual screen for the development -on 95th Street. Whiie development has some impact OIL exa_st-ing facilities, the R -2D, Multiple Family District assifres an acceptable levE_I-. of development and a compatible land use of the site. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the foregoing discussion, staff recommends approval -of-the request to rezone the subject property from R -11,,P, Mobile Home Park, C;-lA, . Rest: icted Commercial acid R-3 ,- Multiple. Dwelling Dis.tr_ict to R -2D, Multiple Family District. In discussion, it was noted that the density of R -2D is 6 units per acre, and Commissioner Lyons wished to know how the line of demarcation for the environmentally sensitive area was determined. Ms. Johnson reported that this was determined by the use of aerial photos and with the help of the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission. She,then discussed Depart- ment of Environmental Regulation criteria, noting that certain parts of this property were determined not to be 74
