wK 92 uu 137 <br />APR 121994 <br />3. Most Intense Use with Existing Land Use Designation: 84,000 <br />square feet of Retail Commercial (Shopping Center in the 5th <br />Edition ITE Manual). <br />4. Proposed Land -Use Designation: L-2 Low -Density <br />Residential -2 (up to 6 <br />units/acre) <br />..5. Most Intense Use with Proposed <br />Land Use Designation: 50 Dwelling Units <br />As per section 910.07(2) of the Concurrency Management Chapter of <br />the County's Land Development Regulations, projects which do not <br />increase density or intensity of use are exempt from concurrency <br />requirements. This land use amendment request is exempt from <br />concurrency review because the requested land use designation <br />changes would not increase the square footage of retail commercial <br />use or the total number of potential units that the sites could <br />accommodate. <br />There will, -in fact, be a net reduction in land use intensity with <br />approval of the request. While the amount of commercially <br />designated land will remain the same, with 8.4 acres changed from <br />residential to commercial and a corresponding 8.4 acres changed <br />from commercial to residential, the 8.4 acres that are currently <br />designated M-1 (up to 8 units/acre) and proposed for redesignation <br />to commercial will be replaced with 8.4 acres of commercial land <br />that will be redesignated to L-2 (up to 6 units/acre). <br />It is important to note that there will be no effect on service <br />levels for any public facility as a result of this land use <br />designation amendment. <br />In this case, a detailed concurrency analysis will be done in <br />conjunction with site development. That concurrency analysis will <br />address facility service levels and demand. <br />Compatibility with the Surrounding Area <br />- Subject Property 1 <br />Commercial development on Subject Property 1 would be compatible <br />with surrounding areas. Since this property abuts commercially <br />designated land to the west, the proposed redesignation would <br />result in a continuation of an existing land use designation <br />pattern. <br />While the properties to the north, south and east are currently <br />used for groves, they are zoned RM -6 and could be converted to <br />residential uses. Given the current zoning of this land and the CG <br />zoning requested for Subject Property 1, development on Subject <br />Property 1 would be required to install a Type "C" vegetative <br />buffer with a six foot opaque feature along its southern and <br />eastern borders. <br />If surrounding properties, including those to the north, across <br />C.R. 510, were converted to residential uses, the resultant <br />developments would be large enough to provide adequate buffers and <br />to orient residences away from Subject Property 1. The most severe <br />impacts of development of Subject Property 1 would be on adjacent <br />land, currently owned by the applicant, to the south and east. <br />For these reasons, staff feels that the proposed land use <br />designation for Subject Property 1 would cause minimal impacts and <br />result in development compatible with the surrounding area. <br />46 <br />
