- M As per Section 910.07 of the County's Land Development Regulations, conditional concurrency review examines the available capacity of each facility with respect to a proposed project. Since comprehensive plan amendments and rezoning requests are not specific projects, county regulations call for the concurrency review to be based upon the most intense use of the subject property based upon the requested zoning district or land use designation. For residential rezoning requests, the most intensive use (according to the county's LDR's) is the maximum number of units that could be built on the site, given the size of the property and the maximum density under the proposed zoning. This rezoning request, however, is exempt from concurrency review becausc the requested zoning would decrease the total number of potential units that the site could accommodate from 34 units to 12 units. (The 34 units is the maximum development of the subject property assuming that a PD - planned development project could be approved on the 11 acres of upland zoned for 3 units per acre and transferring 1 unit from the C-2 area.) Of the twelve units which could be accommodated on the property with the requested RS -1 zoning, three already exist. So the overall density would decrease substantially under the proposed zoning, and the potential impact on the county's services and facilities would be less than what it could be under the present zoning. While concurrency review is not required with this rezoning because of the proposed density reduction, it is important to determine whether public services and facilities are adequate to accommodate the existing RS -3 zoning of the subject property. In making this assessment, it is necessary to consider the most intense use of the subject property - even if the most intense use is unlikely to occur. For the ill acre site, given the RS -3 and C-2 designations, the ability to transfer density from the C-2 to RS -3 areas, the ability to develop the entire site as a planned development, and the existence of three residences on the property, the most intensive use of the site would result in the addition of 31 dwelling units. Based upon staff analysis as detailed below, the maximum possible development of the subject property under the existing zoning can be accommodated by existing public services and facilities. - Transportation A review of the traffic impacts that would result from the most intense development of the property under its existing zoning indicates that the existing level of service "D" would not be lowered. The maximum build -out with the existing zoning would be 31 new units, generating approximately 310 'average annual daily trips or 31 peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips, based on the institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip generation rates. The traffic capacity for this segment of State Road A -1-A is 1320 trips (peak hour/peak season/peak direction) at a level of Service "D". The existing traffic volume on this segment of State Road A- 1 -A is 711 trips (peak hour/peak season/peak direction). Based on staff analysis, it was determined that State Road A -1-A can accommodate the additional trips without decreasing its existing level of service. - Water The site is within the urban service area, and the area is currently serviced with water from the City of Vero Beach., The existing zoning designation would allow a maximum of. 31 additional residential units on the subject property. This number of -units would have a water consumption rate of 31 Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs), or 10,881 gallons per day, based upon the level of service standard for the City of Vero Beach (351 gallons per ERU per day). The City of Vero Beach has a remaining water capacity of 13 WK Nue of AUG '27 1991
