BOOK PAG" The site is within the Urban Service Area of the county. Water lines extend to the site from the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant. Wastewater lines extend to the site from the West Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. The site is bounded on the west by 82nd Avenue. Classified as an urban minor arterial roadway on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map, this segment of 82" Avenue is a two lane road with approximately 80 feet of public Woad right-of-way. No improvements are scheduled for the portion of 821 Avenue between SR 60 and Oslo Road. Although 821 Avenue has been identified as the alignment for the "Citrus I ighway,n that roadway has not yet been programmed for improvements. If built, the Citrus Highway will provide an alternative north/south route for agricultural trucks to and from shipping and processing facilities. As proposed, the Citrus Highway will link citrus groves, packing facilities, and markets in Indian River, St. Lucie, and Martin Counties. The site is bounded on the north by SR 60. Classified as an urban principal arterial roadway on the fimre roadway thoroughfare plan map, this segment of SR 60 is a four lane road with approximately 234 feet of public road right-of-way. The Florida Department of Transportation is currently preparing a program development and environmental study of the portion of SR 60 between 66* Avenue and Interstate 95. This study is the initial phase of expanding that roadway segment from four to six lanes. There are many similarities and some differences between the existing CL zoning district and the proposed CG district. The CL district is intended to serve, and be more compatible with, nearby residential development. Therefore, in terms of permitted uses, the CL district is generally more restrictive. In contrast, the CG district allows somewhat more intense commercial development. The differences between the districts are best illustrated by their purpose statements. These purpose statements are as follows: CL, Limited Commercial District. The CL, limited commercial, district is intended to provide areas for the development of restricted commercial activities. The CL district is intended to accommodate the convenience retail and service needs of area residents, while minimizing the impact of such activities on any nearby residential areas. . CG, General Commercial District. The CG, general commercial, district is intended to provide areas for the development of general retail sales and selected service activities. The CG district is not intended to provide for heavy commercial activities, such as commercial service uses, heavy repair services nor industrial uses. In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented The analysis will include a description of- concurrency f concurrency of public facilities; ► compatibility with the surrounding area; ► consistency with the comprehensive plan; and ► potential impact on environmental quality. 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. OCTOBER 21, 1997 32
