Future Land Use Pattern The subject property and all surrounding properties are designated L-1, Low -Density Residential -1, on the county future land use map. The L-1 designation permits residential uses with densities up to three units/acre. Environment The subject property is currently a citrus grove. Environmental planning staff review of the site indicates that the southeast corner of the site may be in transition to a native upland plant community. Additionally, there may be jurisdictional wetlands on site. The subject property is within an "AE" 100 year floodplain, with a minimum base flood elevation requirement of 22 feet NGVD. Utilities and Services The site is within the Urban Service Area of the county. Water lines extend to within approximately one quarter of a mile of the site from the South County Water Plant. At the present time, wastewater lines do not extend to the site. Transportation System The property abuts 4th Street which is classified as an urban minor arterial road on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map. Currently a two-lane paved road with approximately 30 feet of public road right-of-way, this segment of 4th Street'is programmed for expansion to 80 feet of public road right-of-way by 2010. 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; and • potential impact on environmental quality. Concurrency of Public Facilities This site is located within the county Urban Service Area, 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 and Land Development Regulations also require 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. 27 July 26, 1994 BOOK 9 F"G1 Oo3 d
