FF,_ I JUN i g 1991 BOOK U E �i2C In this case, the floodplain storage and minimum floor elevation level of service standards do not apply, since the property is not -within a floodplain. Both the on-site retention and discharge standards do apply. With the most intense use of this site, the maximum area of impervious surface for the proposed request will be approximately 141,900 square feet. The maximum run-off volume, based upon the amount of impervious surface, will be 124,515 cubic feet. In order to maintain the county's adopted level of service, the applicant will be required to retain 111,757 cubic feet of run- off on-site. It is estimated that the pre -development run-off rate Is 15 cubic feet per second. Based upon staff's analysis, the drainage level of service standards will be met by limiting off-site discharge to its pre - development rate of 15 cubic feet per second and requiring retention of the 111,757 cubic feet of run-off for the most intensive use of the property. Recreation Concurrency for recreation is not applicable for this request as the request is for commercial development, and recreation levels of service apply only to residential development. '.Compatibility with the Surrounding Area and Potential Impact on Environmental Quality Compatibility with surrounding land uses is an important issue with respect to this property. The subject property, as well as the property directly north of the subject property, both contain single-family homes; these are conforming uses is in the R-10 zoning district. The properties to the west and south of the subject property are characterized by existing intense commercial land uses. If the subject property were changed to a commercial land use designation, the single family homes would be affected; however, commercial development of the subject property would not - adversely affect the adjacent commercial land uses. While two single-family homes would be impacted by commercial development of the subject property, one house is on the property, itself, and would likely be removed is part of any development project. As to -the other house, any impact that would occur will be lessened by the county's new buffering requirements. Since a commercial/residential interface must occur somewhere in this area, compatibility will be enhanced if it occurs at the north of the subject property with the subject property accommodating a buffer consistent with existing county requirements. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan A review of this land use amendment and rezoning with the future land use element and its policies does not reveal any major inconsistencies. Although the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan indicates that the county's availability of commercially designated land already exceeds that which will be needed from the present through the year 2010, that fact should not Prevent property more suited for commercial use from being so designated. In fact, besides having surplus commercial land available for development, the county also has excess residential acreage; approval of this request would reduce the residential over -allocation. Policy 13.3 In reviewing this request, one of the most important policies to consider is Future Land Use policy 13.3 That policy requires.that- one of three criteria be met in order to approve a land use Ap amendment. These criteria are: _ lm
