The properties <br />to the west and south are also part of the U.S. #1 Commer- <br />cial/Industrial Corridor: The M-2, Medium Density Residential <br />Designation, which permits up to 10 units per acre, follows 7th <br />Avenue south to 8th Place and 6th Avenue south of that point. <br />Environment <br />The subject property is not designated *as environmentally impor- <br />tant or environmentally sensitive by the comprehensive plan, nor <br />is it within a flood plain as identified by the Flood Insurance <br />Rate Maps. <br />Utilities & Services <br />The subject site is within the Urban Service Area (USA) of the <br />county. Potable water and sewer are available to the subject <br />property. Sewer lines are presently in place along 6th Avenue, <br />and water lines are in place along 6th Avenue and U.S. #1. The <br />subject property is located within the Indian River Farms Drainage <br />District. <br />Transportation System <br />Eighth Street is designated as a collector road on the county's <br />thoroughfare plan. This 2 lane undivided road has an existing <br />level of service of "C" or better. Sixth Avenue is also designat- <br />ed as a collector roadway, and it too has an existing level of <br />service "C" or better. U.S. #1 is a five lane principal arterial <br />roadway which operates at a level of service "C". Eighth Place is <br />a local street. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS: <br />In this section an analysis of the reasonableness of the applica- <br />tion will be presented. The analysis will include a description <br />of the potential impacts on the transportation and utility sys- <br />tems, and any significant adverse impacts on environmental quali- <br />ty. This section will also consider alternatives for development <br />of the site. <br />Compatibility 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 comprehen- <br />sive plan established standards for: Transportation, Potable <br />Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Drainage, and Recreation. The <br />adequate provision of these services is necessary to ensure the <br />continued quality of life enjoyed by the community. The compre- <br />hensive plan requires that new development be reviewed to ensure <br />that the minimum acceptable standards for these services and <br />facilities are maintained. <br />- Transportation <br />A review of the traffic potential of this rezoning must be con- <br />sidered from two perspectives. The first of these is for the 1.95 <br />acre portion to be rezoned. The rezoning concurrency determination <br />was based on the development potential of this portion of the <br />parcel. As such, the concurrency determination assumed a develop- <br />ment of 20,000 square feet of general commercial development which <br />would produce approximately 2,000 daily trips. These 2,000 daily <br />trips could be accommodated by the adjoining road network within <br />the range of the levels of service "C" standards. <br />The second traffic perspective involves the entire 6 acre parcel. <br />While the entire 6 acres does not have to be considered in assess- <br />ing this rezoning request, it must be recognized that the addition <br />of 2 acres of commercial would greatly enhance the development <br />potential of the lot. When considered as a whole the traffic <br />generated from a 6 acre commercial project would be greatly <br />41 <br />
