facilities. County water mains extend along US #1, adjacent to the <br />subject property. Likewise sewer lines have been extended to the <br />area to serve nearby development. The proximity of lines for these <br />services could be easily extended for development of this site. <br />This location is also within an area that is presently served by <br />private trash collection. No public drainage facilities serve.$he <br />site; therefore, the development of private drainage facilities on- <br />site will be required. Recreation facilities in the south county <br />include a community park under development at Oslo Road and 20th <br />Avenue. Multi -family developments usually contain on-site <br />recreational amenities for residents. <br />Transportation System <br />Access to the subject property is by US Highway 1 and Oslo Road. <br />US #1 is a four lane divided road classified as a principal <br />arterial roadway. Currently, the segment from Oslo Road to 4th <br />Street operates at a level of service "C"; however, the <br />comprehensive plan projects a level of service "F" by the year <br />1995. Improvements have been identified to maintain the level of <br />service "C"; however, they have not.been placed on the 5 -Year <br />Capital Improvement Plan. The US #1 segment from Oslo Road to the <br />south county line also has 'an- existing level of service "C" and <br />projected level of service "C". <br />Oslo Road is presently a two lane minor arterial road operating at <br />a level of service "C" from US #1 to 27th Avenue. Scheduled <br />improvements include the widening from 2 to 4 lanes from US #1 to <br />Old Dixie Highway by the year 1993. Despite these improvements, <br />the expected level of service for this road is projected as LOS <br />I'D". <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS <br />In this section, an analysis of -the reasonableness of the <br />application will be presented. The analysis will include a <br />description of the potential impacts on surrounding areas, <br />potential impacts on the transportation and utility systems, and <br />any significant adverse impacts on environmental quality. This <br />section will also consider alternatives for development of the <br />site. <br />Com atability with -Existing Services and Facilities <br />This site is located within the county Urban Service Area (USA), <br />an area deemed suited for urban scale development. The <br />comprehensive plan establishes standards for: Transportation, <br />Potable Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Drainage and Recreation. <br />Together with Traffic, the adequate provision of these services is <br />necessary to ensure the continued quality of life enjoyed by the <br />community. The comprehensive plan also requires that new <br />development be' -reviewed to ensure that standards are not exceeded. <br />- Transportation <br />Although no traffic impact analysis has been done for the <br />site, staff estimates that the requested rezoning would <br />result in approximately 2500 average daily vehicle trips <br />from the site. Given projected trips from committed <br />development in the area (Grove Isle, Garden Grove, Oslo <br />Square occupancy), staff projects that the subject <br />property would generate sufficient trips to adversely <br />affect the minimum service level established for US #1. <br />Potable Water <br />The county water plant on Oslo Road provides water for <br />the south county area. This plant is presently <br />undergoing a planned extension to meet increased demand.- <br />County <br />emand.County water lines extend along US #1 within proximity <br />of the site. County water services would not be <br />constrained by this rezoning. <br />
