_ ® _ increased and might lead to LOS deterioration. Thus, while this rezoning action does not constrain the traffic network, the additional potential could preclude full scale development unless improvements are made. A detailed traffic study and concurrency determination will be made as part of the site plan review pro- cess. - Potable Water County water lines are in place adjacent to this site which would be served by the Oslo Road wastewater plant. This plant is undergoing a planned expansion to accommodate increased demand. The County utilities department has determined that this rezoning would not constrain the county water system. - Sanitary Sewer The county provides wastewater treatment at the county owned Vista Royale Treatment Plant. In addition, an agreement between the county and City of Vero Beach provides for the county to use some capacity of the Vero Beach plant. At this time, capacity would be available; however, a more exact determination of need and avail- able capacity will be made when a more specific development plan for the site is reviewed. This rezoning would not lower existing levels of service. - Solid Waste Solid waste service includes waste pick-up waste disposal at the county landfill. The ty beyond 2010 with expansion capabilities demand. - Drainage by private operator and landfill has a capaci- to accommodate future All development is reviewed for compliance with county stormwater regulations which require on-site retention, preservation of flood plain water storage and finished floor elevations. Together, these regulations limit the potential of on-site flooding and damage. The existing drainage capacity of the subject area is presently limited, as determined by the Public Works staff. The site is not within a.drainage district and would have to meet the county stormwater management requirements. - Recreation A commercial rezoning would not negatively impact existing recre- ation standards. Analysis The proposed rezoning represents a change in use from residential to commercial. In assessing this request, three major issues must be addressed. These are compatibility with surrounding develop- ment, consistency with the comprehensive plan and concurrency of the public facilities. This site was the subject of a failed rezoning and comprehensive plan change in 1985. That request was denied on the basis that the multi -family designation provided a reasonable use of the property and the extension of the commercial designation along 6th Avenue would increase pressure for strip commercial development along that roadway. It is staff's opinion that conditions have changed since that time. The greatest change in this area is the completion of Indian River Boulevard. This roadway provides an alternate to U.S. #1, a function previously served by 6th Avenue. As a result, 6th Avenue functions as a collector road rather than an arterial. In addi- tion, the area between 6th Avenue and the Boulevard has been the site of several large, high density residential developments. These two factors provide greater assurance that 6th Avenue will develop as a residential street. 42 L_AIJG 141990
