Southeast Enterprise November 19, 1982 Page 7 ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: (Continued Summary - The Proposed rezoning will change the allowed use from single family residential and commercial to multiple family resi- dential use. The proposed development of the subject property would allow: 1) An increase in density of 1.44 units/acre., 2) A change in the type of housing from single family to multiple - family. 3) Eliminate commercial use of approximately 8.00 acres. The applicant's proposal also provides that the eastern Environ- mentally Sensitive Area will be left essentially in its present condition. Utilities - The subject property is not presently served by municipal or County water/sewer system. Water consumption for the proposed 600 unit project is estimated to be 135,000 gal/day. The South County Utilities System extends water service to the intersection of Oslo Road and U.S.#1 approximately 1/2 mile north of the subject property. The developer will be required to extend a water main from Oslo Road, south along U.S.#1 to the subject _ pro-pdrty. The existing development along the line would be allowed to connect to that water service. The Florida State and Environmental Health Department indicates that a 600 unit, multi -family development on the subject property would not be permitted to use a septic system.. Traffic - The capacity for U.S.#1, in the vicinity of the subject property, is approximately 24,000 Average Daily Trips (ADT's). The proposed 600 apartment complex is anticipated to generate 3,700 ADT's, with a peak hour volume of 400 Peak Hour Trips. U.S. #1 presently has 15,000 ADT's and 1,500 Peak Hour Trips ocur- ring along this area. Upon completion of'`the 600 unit multi- family complex, the total volume of traffic is anticipated to be 18,700 ADT's with 1,900 Peak Hour Trips. This will result in a volume/capacity ratio of .78 or 78% of the capacity will be utilized. The Transportation Element frontage road system along frontage road system will capacity but it will limit onto U.S.#1. RECOMMENDATIONS: of the Comprehensive Plan calls for a major arterials such as U.S.#l. The not specifically affect the U.S.#1 traffic access and control the flow of traffic The maximum density of the proposed rezoning district is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan allows multiple family residential development within the LD -2, Low Density areas. The existing road system can accommodate the level of proposed develop- ment. Any negative impacts occurring as a result of mixing multiple and single family development can be lessened through mitigating actions which will be required under Section 23 and under development criteria of the Comprehensive Plan. The design flexibility of the multi -family development and the transfer of densities will maximize the level of protection for Environmentally Sensitive areas. Staff recommends approval of the request to rezone the subject property from C-1, Commercial and R-lA, Single Family to R2D, Multiple Family. EC 11982 Pi;�
