- Sanitary Sewer <br />The county provides wastewater treatment at the county owned Vista <br />Royale Treatment Plant. In addition, an agreement between the <br />county and City of.Vero Beach provides for the county to use some <br />capacity of the Vero Beach plant. At this time, capacity would be <br />available; however, a more exact determination of need and <br />available capacity would be made when a more specific development <br />plan for the site is reviewed. This rezoning would not lower <br />existing levels of service. <br />- Solid Waste <br />Solid waste service includes pick-up by private operator and <br />disposal at the county landfill. The landfill has a capacity beyond <br />2010 with expansion capabilities to accommodate future demand. <br />- Drainage <br />All development is reviewed for compliance with county stormwater <br />regulations which require on-site retention, preservation of flood <br />plain water storage and finished floor elevations. Together these <br />regulations limit the potential of on-site and off-site flooding <br />and damage. The lack of public drainage facilities will require <br />private facilities to meet stormwater needs. These facilities are <br />not likely to reduce drainage standards in this area. , <br />- Recreation <br />A commercial rezoning would not <br />recreation standards. <br />Analysis <br />negatively impact existing <br />The proposed rezoning represents a change in use.from residential <br />to commercial. In assessing this request, three major issues must <br />be addressed, compatibility with surrounding development, <br />consistency with the -comprehensive plan and concurrency of public <br />facilities. <br />Any development within the CL District is required to be buffered <br />from multi -family districts. The buffer requirements set forth in <br />the code provide at least a minimum of visual screening. Since <br />uses permitted in the CL district are restricted to low intensity <br />commercial uses such as business services, offices, personal <br />services and limited retail, compatibility is generally achieved. <br />A review of this rezoning with the future land use map and <br />policies, as well as the policies of the other plan elements, does <br />not reveal any inconsistency. The rezoning would provide <br />opportunities for small businesses and services to complement the <br />existing commercial land use pattern to the east and residential <br />pattern to the west. <br />The change in use from residential to commercial would also not <br />negatively impact existing services and facilities. Compared to <br />development. of the site for residential uses, establishment of <br />commercial uses on the site would likely reduce the site demands <br />for water and sewer but increase the traffic generated. At this <br />time, the concurrency issue fqr the site is not a major concern; <br />however, concurrency will be more extensively reviewed when a <br />development proposal is submitted for the subject property. <br />Conclusion <br />The requested rezoning is the result of an adjustment to the land <br />use map and consistent with the comprehensive plan. The small site <br />area and irregular shape will place limits on the development of <br />17 <br />JUL 101990 <br />
