ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented. The analysis will include a description of: 0 Concurrency of public facilities o Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan o Potential impact on environmental quality 0 Compatibility with the surrounding area Concurrency of Public Facilities This site is located within the County Urban Service Area (USA), an area deemed suited for urban scale development. The comprehensive plan establishes standards for: Transportation, Potable Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Drainage and Recreation (Future Land Use Policy 3.1). The adequate provision of these services is necessary to ensure the continued quality of life enjoyed by the community. The comprehensive plan also requires that new development be reviewed to ensure that the minimum level of service for these services and facilities are maintained. Policy 3.2 of the Future Land Use Element states that no development shall be approved unless it is consistent with the concurrency management system component of the Capital -Improvements Element. For comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning requests, conditional concurrency review is required. 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 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 commercial rezoning requests, the most intense use (according to the county's LDRs) is retail commercial with 10,000 square feet of gross floor area per acre' of land proposed for redesignation. Since the subject rezoning request is for a general commercial designation, the 10,000 square feet of retail commercial floor area per acre of land proposed for rezoning is used as the basis for the concurrency determination of the proposed request. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: 41 JAN 141992 BOOK
