I <br />MAX 2 8 - `> <br />Boo 83 FAbE � 14 <br />Environment <br />The subject property is not located within a floodplain as <br />identified by Flood Insurance Rating Maps (FIRM). Staff has, <br />however, confirmed the existence of isolated Bayheads on the <br />subject property. <br />Utilities and Services <br />The site is within the urban service area. Wastewater lines lie <br />within J of a mile of the site. Water lines do not extend to the <br />site at the present time. <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: <br />* Compatibility of surrounding areas <br />* Concurrency of public facilities <br />* Consistency with the comprehensive plan <br />* Potential impact on environmental quality <br />This section will also consider alternatives for development of the <br />site. <br />u� Compatibility With the Surrounding Areas <br />Compatibility is not a major concern for the property. The subject <br />property is centrally located within a commercial/ industrial node. <br />'.Generally, property on the west side of U.S. #1 has been zoned for <br />;..heavier commercial and light industrial development. However, the <br />subject property and properties to the north and south of the <br />subject property are undeveloped, vacant parcels. The requested <br />zoning for the subject property would be compatible with commercial <br />development east of U.S. #1, as those properties are developed with <br />retail uses, including the Sebastian Square/Wal-Mart Shopping <br />Center. The subject property will be buffered from more intense <br />commercial and industrial development to the west by "the FEC <br />Railroad right-of-way and Old Dixie Highway. <br />Based upon the analysis performed on the subject property, staff <br />feels that the requested commercial zoning would be compatible with <br />the surrounding area. <br />Concurrency of Public Facilities <br />The site is located in the County Urban Service Area (USA), an area <br />deemed suited for urban scale development. The Comprehensive Plan <br />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 acceptable standards for these services and facilities are <br />maintained. <br />- Transportation <br />Review of the traffic impacts that would result from the proposed <br />development of the property indicates that the existing level of <br />service "C" or better would be maintained for U.S. #1. A typical <br />high traffic generator which could be built in the proposed CG <br />district on the subject property would generate approximately 4,390 <br />trips per day. The actual number of trips would depend on the <br />total square footage and the exact mix of uses. A four -lane <br />divided road can accommodate approximately 35,000 average daily <br />trips at a level of service "C". The 1990 average daily trips <br />16 <br />
