The existing level of service on 12th Street is "C" or better. Old Dixie Highway is also designated as a minor arterial roadway, and it to has an existing level of service "C" or better. The comprehensive plan identifies improvements for Old Dixie Highway but not for 12th Street. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS: In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented. The analysis will include a description of the potential impacts on surrounding areas, potential impacts on the transportation and utility systems, and any significant adverse impacts on environmental quality. This section will also consider alternatives for development of the site. ._ Compatibility with Existing Services and Facilities This site is located within the county Urban Service Area (USA), an area deemed suited for urban scale development. The comprehensive plan establishes standards for: Transportation, Potable Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Drainage and Recreation. The adequate provision of these services is necessary to ensure the continued quality of life enjoyed by the community. The comprehensive plan also requires that new development be reviewed to ensure that the minimum acceptable standards for these services and facilities are maintained.. - Transportation No traffic impact analysis has been done for this site. Since no development has been proposed, staff can only speculate on the specific future use of the site. Staff may, however, examine the traffic impact of the uses likely to be located on the site. The two acre site is likely to support approximately 20,000 gross square feet of commercial space. Uses ranging from general office to specialty retail would generate between 500 and 1000 trips per day. This range of trips would not negatively impact existing service levels. - Potable Water The county water plant on Oslo Road provides water for the south county area. This plant is presently undergoing a planned extension to meet increased demand. County water services would not be constrained by this rezoning. 16
