PUBLIC HEARING The proposed amendment for the subject property is designated M-1, Medium Density Residential on the Future Land Use Map. Since RM -6 zoning is allowed in the M-1 designation, the proposed zoning district is consistent with the Future Land Use Map designation. The properties surrounding the subject site consists primarily of multi -family residential uses, commercial uses, and industrial uses. Item D - Whether or not the proposed amendment is in compliance with the adopted county thoroughfare plan. The subject property abuts 16th Street and 12th Street, which are presently platted, but not yet constructed. If a project develops the developer will be required to build out their portion of 16th Street and 12th Street. Item E - Whether or not the proposed amendment would generate traffic which would decrease the service levels on roadways below the level adopted in the comprehensive plan. The objectives of the Comprehensive Plan's Transportation Element are to provide a safe, balanced, efficient transportation system that maintains roadway level of service and adequately serves the needs of the community As part of the concurrency review process, the applicant has submitted a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). A TIA reports the number of peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips that would be generated by the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed zoning district, and assigns those trips on the county's thoroughfare roadway network within the project's area of influence. That area of influence consists of roadway segments that receive eight (8) or more peak season/peak hour/peak direction project trips for a two-lane roadway or fifteen (15) or more peak season/peak hour/peak direction project trips for a four -lane (or wider) roadway. Item F - Whether or not there have been changed conditions which would warrant an amendment. The applicant states that "the current zoning is a holding district for until such time as an appropriate use of the property is proposed. The property is surrounded by multi -family and the rezoning would be consistent with the surrounding zoning." The applicant also states that this project will provide needed rental housing for the community. Staff can agree that there is a need for additional rental housing in the community; as well as that the current A-1 zoning is a holding zoning until the property owner, based on market conditions requests a rezoning consistent with the property's land use designation. Item G - Whether or not the proposed amendment would decrease the level of service established in the comprehensive plan for sanitary sewer, potable water, solid waste, drainage, and recreation. Based upon the analysis conducted by staff it has been determined that all concurrency -mandated facilities, including stormwater management, solid waste, potable water, wastewater, and recreation have adequate capacity to accommodate the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed rezoning. Per Indian River County Land Development Regulations, the Applicant may be required to pay connection and other customary fees, and comply with other routine administrative procedures. If approved, rezoning does not guarantee any vested rights to receive water and wastewater treatment service. As with all development, a more detailed concurrency review will be conducted during the development approval process. 4 411
