The estimated maximum run-off volume, based upon the amount of impervious surface, will be 9,845 cubic feet. In order to maintain the adopted level of service, development of the site must include retention of at least 8,837 cubic feet of run-off, the difference betdition which wapplicant can meetpost-development i on site, drainage level of service theservice will be met. - Recreation Recreation concurrency requirements apply only to residential development.

Imvacts on Surrounding Uses and Environmental Quality The potential impact of the subject request upon surrounding land uses is an important issue concerning this property. The subject property is located adjacent to the Ridge Acres Subdivision and to �unplatted lots with single-family homes. Ridge Acres is a single family residential community with homes on both sides of the ;:unpaved 10th Avenue. .A land use .change for the subject property would have a number of "'negative impacts upon the sin , the first gle-family residences in the area `If the property were developed with commercial uses roperty owners would be a lack of ";negative impact upon surrounding p compatibility between the single-family development and the subject property, itself. Given. the type of -uses allowed by a commercial land use designation, there is no question that redesignation of the subject property for commercial development would not be compatible with the adjacent single family homes. While the land use to the north and east is commercial/industrial, these sites are separated by 9th Street and -Old Dixie Highway. That provides physical separation and some buffering. Generally, residential sites must be buffered from adjacent commercial and industrial uses to ensure compatibility; with the subject request, however, the small size of the property precludes adequate buffering between the commercial uses that would be established on the site and the adjacent single- family homes. The second negative impact from the proposed land use amendment involves more than the property itself; it relates to the entire area south. of the subject property along Old Dixie Highway. The entire area would be affected because a change in land use designation for commercial development on the subject property would provide an impetus for other property owners to submit comprehensive plan amendment requests for a commercial/ industrial designation. The result of this would be a domino' effect, with commercial/ industrial designation all along Old Dixie. As a result, compatibility problems would develop with other parcels to the south of the subject property and west of Old Dixie Highway. The parcels from 9th Street to 8th Street adjacent to Old Dixie Highway. are immediately susceptible to the domino effect. The subject property's land use change would prompt these property owners to request land use changes, and the first domino would fall. The residents of Ridge Acres along the east side of 10th Avenue would be adjacent to commercial development. This would act as an intrusion into the neighborhood quality of life. The third negative impact from the proposed land use amendment involves the nuisance created by commercial traffic generation. Staff feels that a change in the land use designation and zoning of the subject property will increase traffic flow through the Ridge Acres Subdivision via 10th Avenue. Staff foresees that, if 38
