Environment The subject property has been previously disturbed; there are remnants of a driveway and wall on the site. Approximately one- half (0.5) acre of the property is native.upland habitat, which is relatively undisturbed. County land clearing and tree removal permits will be required prior to development. However, since the subject parcel is under five acres, upland preservation will not be required. The subject property is not located within a flood zone, as identified by Flood Insurance Rating Maps (FIRM). ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented. The analysis will include a description of: • concurrency of public facilities • compatibility with the surrounding area • consistency with the comprehensive plan • potential impact on environmental quality This section will also consider alternatives for development of the site. 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 residential rezoning requests, the most intense use (according to the county's LDRs) 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 of the property. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: 1. Size of Property: t3 acres 2. Size of Area to be Rezoned: t3 acres 3. Existing Zoning Classification: C N, Neighborhood Commercial Node 4. Existing Land Use Designation: M-14, Medium Density Residential -1 (up to 8 units/acre) 5. Proposed Zoning Classification: RM -8, Multiple -Family Residential District. (up 29 to 8 units/acre) 6q, q, BOOK MAR 10 1992
