a ® � 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 - (according to the County's LDR's) 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 land use designation. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: 1. Size of Area to be Redesignated: 2. Existing Land Use Designation: ±298 acres ±233 acres of C-2, Conservation -2 (up to 1 unit/40 acres on site; TDR up to 1 unit/acre) and ±65 acres of M-2, Medium -Density Residential -2 (up to 10 units/acre) 3. Maximum Number of Units with Existing Land Use Designation: 883* * reflects 650 units (based on 65 acres at 10 units/acre) as well as an additional 233 6nits tranferred from the 233 acres of C-2 land at 1 unit/acre 4. Proposed Land Use Designation: C-1, Conservation -1 (zero density) 5. Maximum Number of Units with Proposed Land Use Designation: 0 As per section 910.07(2) of the Concurrency Management Chapter of the County's LDRs, projects which do not increase density or intensity of use are exempt from concurrency requirements. This land use amendment request is exempt from concurrency review, because the requested land use designation would not increase the total number of potential units that the site could accommodate. It is important to note that there will be no effect on service levels for any public facility as a result of the proposed land use amendment. Compatibility with the Surrounding Area Under the requested C-1 designation, there will be no development on the subject property except for minor facilities associated with passive recreation activities. For that reason, the subject request will enhance compatibility between development on the site and surrounding land uses. 45 October 24, 1995 BOOK 96 PAGr 429
