OCT 191993 BOOK 90 `KIN 801 to the transportation system services. and other necessary urban CG, General Commercial District, is intended to provide areas for the development of general retail sales and selected service activities. The CG district is not intended to provide for heavy commercial activities, such as commercial service uses, heavy repair services nor industrial uses. In terms of permitted uses, the CG district allows a broad range of office, retail, and service activities but no industrial, manufacturing, or heavy commercial activities. In contrast, the IG district allows only the commercial activities with the most severe impacts on nearby areas and a broad range of industrial and manufacturing activities. 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; and • the appropriateness of the CG district. Concurrency of Public Facilities This site is located within the county Urban Service Areal 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 acceptable standards 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 rezoning requests, conditional concurrency review is required. Conditional concurrency review examines the available capacity of each facility with respect to a proposed project. Since 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. For commercial rezoning requests, the most intense use (according to the county's land development regulations) is retail commercial with 10,000 square feet of gross floor area per acre of land proposed for rezoning. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: 1. Size of Property: 116.2 acres 2. Size of Area to be Rezoned: 3. Existing Zoning Classification: 4. Existing Land Use Designation: 26 t7.2 acres IG, General Industrial C/ Il Commercial/ Industrial M M M
