Transportation System The subject property has access from 71st Street (Cemetery Road) through a recorded easement. Within the easement is a paved area for ingress and egress to the site. Cemetery Road, a two-lane paved local road, is directly connected to Old Dixie Highway. Environment The eastern 10 acres of the parcel are developed with an existing concrete plant; environmental planning staff have identified areas on the subject 11 acres containing "environmentally important" upland habitat communities and isolated wetlands. The property is not located within a floodplain as identified by the Flood Insurance Rating Maps (FIRM). Utilities and Services The site is within the urban service area of the county; however, water and sewer lines do not extend to the site. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented. The analysis will include a description of the potential impacts on surrounding areas, potential impacts on the transportation and utility systems, and any significant adverse impacts on environmental quality. Compatibility with Existing Services and Facilities The site is located within the county Urban Service Area (USA), an area deemed suited for urban scale development. The comprehensive plan establishes standards for: Transportation, Potable Water, Waste Water, Solid Waste, Drainage and Recreation. The adequate provision of these services is necessary to ensure the continued quality of life enjoyed by the community. The Comprehensive Plan also requires that new development be reviewed to ensure that the minimum acceptable standards for these services and facilities are maintained. - Transportation A review of the traffic impacts that would result from the development of the property indicates that the existing level of service would be maintained. The maximum buildout permitted by the existing zoning is 60 residential units; that amount of development would generate approximately 368 average daily trips. The proposed industrial zoning would generate only ±177 average daily trips. A standard two-lane road can accommodate approximately 13,000 trips per day. Based upon staff analysis, it was determined that Cemetery Road and other roadways serving the project can accommodate the trips without decreasing their existing levels of service. A more detailed review of transportation impacts will be required as part of the development review process. Utilities The site is within the urban service area; however, the area is not currently serviced by water and wastewater. At present, capacity for these services is not available for this portion of the county. Since no ERUs for water and wastewater have been reserved as of the present time, the applicant has entered into a developer's agreement with the county which states that the developer agrees to 17 BOOK Q P• r E E NAR 19 199
