FF_ 'I <br />MAY�A,d 4123 <br />Transportation System <br />The property abuts Old Dixie Highway to the east, 9th Street to the <br />north and 10th Avenue to the west. Old Dixie Highway is classified <br />as a collector road on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map. <br />This segment of Old Dixie Highway is a two lane paved road with <br />approximately eighty (80) feet of existing public road right-of- <br />way. Ninth Street is a two lane paved local road with <br />approximately sixty (60) feet of existing public road right-of-way. <br />Tenth Avenue is a two lane unpaved local road with seventy (70) <br />feet of existing public road right-of-way. <br />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 environmental quality, <br />compatibility with surrounding uses, consistency with the <br />comprehensive plan, and concurrency of public facilities. This <br />section will also consider alternatives for development of the <br />site. <br />Concurrency Determination for the Public Facilities <br />The site is located within the County Urban Service Area (USA), an <br />area deemed suited for urban scale development. The comprehensive <br />plan establishes standards for: Transportation, Potable Water, <br />Wastewater, Solid Waste, Drainage, and Recreation. The adequate <br />provision of these services is necessary to ensure the continued <br />quality of life enjoyed by the community. The comprehensive plan <br />.also requires that new development be reviewed to ensure that the <br />;minimum adopted level of service standards for these services and <br />facilities are maintained. <br />LAs per Section 910.07 of the County's Land Development Regulations, <br />'conditional concurrency review examines the available capacity -of <br />peach facility with respect .to a proposed project.. Since <br />:comprehensive plan amendments and non -PD (Planned Development) <br />rezoning requests are not projects, county regulations call for the <br />concurrency review to be based upon the most intensive use of the <br />subject property based upon the requested zoning district or land <br />use designation. For comprehensive plan amendment requests, the <br />most intensive use (according to the county's Land Development <br />Regulations) is retail commercial with 10,000 square feet of gross <br />-floor area per acre of land proposed for redesignation. Since the <br />subject,cotnprehensive plan amendment is for a commercial land use <br />designation, the 10,000 square feet of floor area per acre of land <br />proposed for redesignation with a retail commercial usage is used <br />as the bass for the concurrency determination of the proposed <br />request. <br />- Transportation <br />Ninth Street and 10th Avenue are local roads and are not shown on <br />the thoroughfare plan map. A review of the traffic impacts that <br />would result from the development of the property indicates that <br />the existing level of service "C" or better on Old Dixie Highway <br />would not be lowered. <br />A retail commercial use of 3400 square feet on the subject site <br />would generate less than 32 peak hour/peak direction/peak season <br />trips, based on Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip <br />generation rates. The actual number of trips would depend on the <br />total square footage and the exact mix of uses. Based on Florida <br />Department of Transportation Standardized Level of Service Tables <br />this segment of Old Dixie Highway, as a two lane road, can <br />generally accomodate 800 peak hour/peak direction/peak season trips <br />and maintain a Level of Service "D" or better. <br />36 <br />
