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 />* concurrency of public facilities <br />* compatibility with surrounding areas and potential impact <br />on environmental quality <br />* consistency with the comprehensive plan <br />This section will also consider alternatives for development of the <br />site. <br />Concurrency of,Public Facilities <br />This 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 level of service standards for these services and <br />facilities are maintained. <br />As per Section 910.07 of the County's Land Development Regulations, <br />conditional concurrency review examines the available capacity of <br />each 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 intense use of the <br />subject property based upon the requested zoning district or land <br />use designation. For commercial comprehensive plan amendment <br />requests, the most intense use (according to the county's LDR's) is <br />retail commercial with 10,000 square feet of gross floor area per <br />acre of land proposed for redesignation. The site information used <br />for the concurrency analysis is as follows: <br />1. Size of Property: 1.2 acres <br />2. Existing Zoning Classification: RS -6, Single Family <br />Residential District (up to 6 unit/acre) <br />3. Existing Land Use Designation: L-2, Low Density Residential <br />(up to 6 units/acre) <br />4. Proposed Zoning Classification: CH,. Heavy Commercial District <br />5. Proposed Land Use Designation: C/I, Commercial/Industrial <br />Area <br />6. Most Intense•Use of the Subject Property: 12,000 sq. ft. <br />of Retail Commercial <br />- Transportation <br />A review of the traffic impacts that would result from the <br />development of the property indicates that the existing level of <br />service "D" or better would not be lowered. The maximum number of <br />units allowed on the subject property by the existing zoning would <br />be 7.2 single-family units; those units would generate <br />approximately 72 daily trips. <br />A retail commercial use of 12,000 square feet on the subject site <br />would generate approximately 570 daily trips, based on the <br />Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip generation rates. <br />Of these trips, only 49% or 279 TEPD (Trip Ends Per Day), would be <br />new trips. The peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips produced <br />by the proposed request would be 63 trips. The actual number of <br />trips would depend on the total square footage and the exact mix of <br />uses. <br />113 <br />BOOK b3 fA..' E 70 v <br />AW <br />
