M M Besides the environmental characteristics, there are also archaeological resources on the site. A 1992 county -wide archaeological survey conducted by The Archaeological and Historical Conservancy, Inc. identified three significant intact archaeological sites on the subject property and on the adjacent Entomology Lab property. Utilities and Services Potable water is available to the site from the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant, while wastewater service is available from the City of Vero Beach Wastewater Treatment Plant. Transportation System The property has access to U.S. #1 via a 100 foot wide strip between the South Vero Square Shopping Center and The Forest Park Subdivision. Classified as an urban principal arterial roadway on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map, this segment of U.S. #1 is a 4 -lane road with approximately 160 feet of existing public road right-of-way. , This segment of U.S. #1 is programmed for expansion to 6 lanes by 2010. The property also has frontage on Oslo Road, west of the Entomology Lab. Although the future roadway thoroughfare plan map depicts Oslo Road, west of U.S. #1, -as an urban principal arterial roadway, the portion of Oslo Road adjacent to the subject property is a 2 - lane paved local road with approximately 100 feet of existing public road right-of-way. East of the Entomology Lab, Oslo Road is unpaved. There are no plans to expand this segment of Oslo Road. 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. To ensure that the minimum acceptable standards for these services and facilities are maintained, the comprehensive plan also requires that new development be reviewed. For land use amendment and rezoning requests, this review is undertaken as part of the conditional concurrency determination application process. As per section 910.07 of the County's LDRs, conditional concurrency review examines the available capacity of each facility with respect to a proposed project. Since land use amendment 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 land use designation. For Conservation land use amendment requests, the most intense use JUNE 139 1995 40 BOOK 95 PAGE380,
