The existing traffic count on Kings Highway is approximately <br />3,000 ADT. An additional 4,345 ADT (3,000 + 4,345 = 7,345 ADT) <br />would put this facility closer to its capacity of 10,000 ADT. <br />Based on this additional traffic, the following would be <br />required if this development were approved: <br />1. All development should have access via Kingsberry Road or <br />Lindsey Road; <br />2. The developer would install 24 foot wide pavement on <br />Kingsberry and Lindsey Roads adjacent to his property; <br />3. The developer would pay for installing left -turn lanes on <br />Kings Highway at its intersections with Kingsberry and <br />Lindsey Roads; <br />4. The developer may be required to pay for all or part of <br />the cost of a signalized intersection next to his <br />development; <br />5. Additional right-of-way dedications would be required along <br />the arterial and collector streets. <br />Environment 2 <br />The subject property is not designated as environmentally <br />Sensitive. There do not appear to be any environmental con- <br />straints involved with the development of this property. <br />Schools <br />The proposed development includes 600 condominium units. This <br />development is currently planned to include studio and two <br />bedroom units which would probably not attract many families <br />with children. Based on these current plans, this development <br />should not adversely affect the County's school system. <br />Utilities <br />The subject property is not currently served by County water and <br />wastewater facilities. The developer could, however, apply for <br />a franchise from the County to provide his own water and waste- <br />water facilities. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based upon the above analysis including the existing land use <br />pattern of the site and surrounding areas, land use objectives <br />of the Comprehensive Plan, and the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission's recommendation, staff recommends that the Board of <br />County Commissioners deny the applicant's request for an <br />amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. <br />Mr. Shearer displayed slides of the surrounding area <br />and pointed out that when this was submitted as an amendment <br />request, it was accompanied by a rezoning request, and the <br />Planning & Zoning Commission considered it as both. The <br />rezoning request was for R -2A, which allowed a maximum of 4 <br />units per acre. That was denied and not appealed, and the <br />only change being considered today is the Land Use <br />designation change from LD -1 to LD -2, which would allow 6 <br />units per acre rather than 3.
