to ensure the continued quality of life enjoyed by the community. To ensure that the minimum acceptable standards for those services and facilities are maintained, the comprehensive plan requires that new development be reviewed for a concurrency determination. For rezoning requests, that review is undertaken as part of the conditional concurrency determination application process. As per section 910.07 of the County's Land Development Regulations (LDRs), conditional concurrency review examines the available capacity of each facility with respect to a proposed project. Since rezoning requests are not projects, county regulations call for the concurrency review to be based upon the most intense use of the subject property based upon the requested rezoning district. For commercial rezoning requests, the most intense use of a property varies with the zoning district. In the case of CG zoned property, the most intense use (according to County LDRs) is 10,000 square feet of retail commercial gross floor area per acre. With CH zoning, the most intense use of a property is 20,000 square feet of general industrial gross floor area per acre. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: 1. Size of Area to be rezoned: ±1.98 2. Existing Land Use Designation: C/I Commercial/Industrial 3. Most Intense Use with Existing Zoning (CH): 39,600 square feet of General Industrial 4. Most Intense Use with Proposed Zoning (CG): 19,800 square feet of Retail Commercial Transportation A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) reports the number of daily trips and the number of peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips that would be generated by the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed zoning district, and it assigns peak trip data to the County's thoroughfare roadway network within the project's area of influence. That area of influence is defined in section 910.09(4)(b)3(a) of the County's LDRs as roadway segments that receive eight (8) or more peak season/peak hour/peak direction project trips for two-lane roadways or fifteen (15) or more peak season/peak hour/peak direction project trips for four -lane (or wider) roadways. For this rezoning request, the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was reviewed and approved by Traffic Engineering Division staff (see Attachment 4). That analysis showed that all roadway segments within the area of influence would operate at an acceptable level of service with the most intense use of the property under the proposed zoning district. Therefore, the transportation concurrency test has been satisfied. Water With the proposed rezoning, the subject property could accommodate 19,800 square feet of retail commercial development. Development on the subject property will be served by the South 5 137
