_ ® _ <br />increased and might lead to LOS deterioration. Thus, while this <br />rezoning action does not constrain the traffic network, the <br />additional potential could preclude full scale development unless <br />improvements are made. A detailed traffic study and concurrency <br />determination will be made as part of the site plan review pro- <br />cess. <br />- Potable Water <br />County water lines are in place adjacent to this site which would <br />be served by the Oslo Road wastewater plant. This plant is <br />undergoing a planned expansion to accommodate increased demand. <br />The County utilities department has determined that this rezoning <br />would not constrain the county water system. <br />- 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 avail- <br />able capacity will be made when a more specific development plan <br />for the site is reviewed. This rezoning would not lower existing <br />levels of service. <br />- Solid Waste <br />Solid waste service includes waste pick-up <br />waste disposal at the county landfill.

Together, <br />these regulations limit the potential of on-site flooding and <br />damage. The existing drainage capacity of the subject area is <br />presently limited, as determined by the Public Works staff. The <br />site is not within a.drainage district and would have to meet the <br />county stormwater management requirements. <br />- Recreation <br />A commercial rezoning would not negatively impact existing recre- <br />ation standards. <br />Analysis <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. These are compatibility with surrounding develop- <br />ment, consistency with the comprehensive plan and concurrency of <br />the public facilities. <br />This site was the subject of a failed rezoning and comprehensive <br />plan change in 1985. That request was denied on the basis that <br />the multi -family designation provided a reasonable use of the <br />property and the extension of the commercial designation along 6th <br />Avenue would increase pressure for strip commercial development <br />along that roadway. It is staff's opinion that conditions have <br />changed since that time. <br />The greatest change in this area is the completion of Indian River <br />Boulevard. This roadway provides an alternate to U.S. #1, a <br />function previously served by 6th Avenue. As a result, 6th Avenue <br />functions as a collector road rather than an arterial. In addi- <br />tion, the area between 6th Avenue and the Boulevard has been the <br />site of several large, high density residential developments. <br />These two factors provide greater assurance that 6th Avenue will <br />develop as a residential street. 42 <br />L_AIJG 141990 <br />
