wot 97 PALE and fixtures, rubber products, drugs and pharmaceuticals, footwear, and electronic equipment) are not allowed within the CH zoning district. As a transitional type of zoning district having more intense uses than general commercial districts and less intense uses than industrial districts, the CH district is oriented to uses such as warehouses, contractor trades,.and repair establishments. 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 also requires 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. Conditional concurrency review examines the available capacity of each facility with respect to a proposed project. Since rezoning 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 zoning district. For commercial rezoning requests, the most intense use (according to the county's land development regulations) is retail commercial with 10,000 square feet of gross floor area per acre of land proposed for rezoning. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: 1. Size of Area to be Rezoned: ±9.7 acres 2. Land Use Designation: C/I, Commercial/Industrial 3. Existing Zoning Classification: CH, Heavy Commercial 4. Proposed Zoning Classification: IL, Light Industrial 5. Most Intense Use under Existing Zoning Classification: ±97,000 sq. ft. of Retail Commercial (Shopping Center in the 5th Edition ITE Manual). 6.. Most Intense Use under Proposed Zoning Classification: ±97,000 sq. ft. of Retail Commercial (Shopping Center in the 5th Edition ITE Manual). 18 JANUARY 2 1996 17
