AUG r¢' BooK 77 F,,, t531 capacity on every facility. That is the big challenge of concurrency, and we have to do that for drainage, water, sewer and recreation as well. The big kicker is how much available capacity is there and what does that portend for proposed development. Commissioner Scurlock was concerned about the moratorium time because that is the bottom line where all the pressure comes down and when something clicks, we have to say no more development until the improvements are in place. Director Keating stated that a lot, but not all, of those issues are addressed in the concurrency management plan. Commissioner Scurlock just wanted to be able to send reliable signals to the development community about whether. they can expect to develop or not in certain areas so that they can make good economic decisions. Considerable discussion took place about using 66th Avenue - as a north/south alternative instead of 58th Avenue which has the constraints of the main canal and the utility poles so close to the road. The Commissioners indicated that they liked the idea of 66th Avenue as a north/south alternative. Future Land Use Element Director Keating advised that the new future land use map is generally compatible with the existing map. He pointed out that the MXDs are gone, because staff felt it was time to make the decisions up front on whether it is to be commercial or residential within the MXD areas. He also pointed out that regardless of all our efforts to the contrary, U.S. #1 is shown primarily as strip commercial. Due to the constraints of the railroad and the highway itself, many times the land along U.S. #1 is not suited for purposes other than commercial. Staff spent a lot of time doing a commercial/industrial analysis to determine how much we have, how much is too much, and how much more needs to be accommodated. 8 M
