of additional public road right-of-way from property on the west side of 58th Avenue. The Indian River Farms Water Control District owns canal right-of- way between the subject property and 26th Street, along the property's -north boundary. With District permission, 26th Street could provide access to the subject property. Classified as a collector road on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map, 26th Street is paved east of 58th Avenue. This segment of 26th Street is a 2 -lane road with approximately 30 feet of existing public road right-of-way. This portion of 26th Street is programmed for expansion to 80 feet of public road right-of-way by 2010. Due to the canal right-of-way abutting the subject property, public works staff anticipates obtaining the needed 50 feet of additional public road right-of-way from property on the north side of 26th Street. ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented. Specifically, this section will include: • an analysis of the proposed amendment's impact on public facilities; • an analysis of the proposed amendment's impact on the county's residential allocation ratio; • an analysis of the proposed amendment's consistency with the county's comprehensive plan; • 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, 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 (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 51 March 19, 1996 RooK 97 PAE 501
