an analysis of the proposed amendment's compatibility with the surrounding area; and an analysis of the proposed amendment's 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, Draifiage 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 (LDRs) 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 land use amendment requests', conditional concurrency review is required. 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 residential land use amendment requests, the most intense use (according to the County's LDRs) 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: 118.4 acres 2. Existing Land Use Designation: L= 2, Low -Density Residential -2 (up to 6 units/acre) 3. Proposed Land Use Designation: M-1, Medium -Density Residential -1 (up to 8 units/acre) 4. Most Intense Use of Subject Property under Existing Land Use Designation: 5. Most Intense Use of Subject Property under Proposed Land Use Designation: - Transportation 110 single-family units 147 single-family units A review of the traffic impacts that would result from the development of the maximum number of units allowed on the subject property under the proposed land use designation indicates that the existing level of service "D" or better on impacted roadways would not be lowered. The site information used for determining traffic is as follows: Existing Land Use Designation 1.
