EAR BASED FUTURE LAND USE MAP CHANGES Among the conclusions of the county's Evaluation and Appraisal Report was that the county's future land use map generally was working well. The EAR found that development had occurred in areas where appropriate urban services were available, and in a compact manner that is compatible with surrounding areas. Additionally, the EAR found that all county facilities were meeting their adopted levels of service. The EAR, however, did recommend several relatively minor future land use map changes. Those changes were identified and justified in the EAR On February 24, 1997, DCA found the entire EAR, including the proposed future land use map amendments, to be sufficient. At the November 4, 1997 Transmittal Public Hearing, those changes were included as part of the EAR based amendments presented to the Board At that hearing, the Board made the following minor modifications to the proposed future land use map amendments: e The Board chose to retain the R, Rural (up to 1 unit/acre) land use designation rather than redesignating 1,115 acres of R designated land to L-1, Low -Density Residential-1(up to 3 units/acre); and • The Board chose to redesignate +37.9 acres, rather than *160 acres, located at the southwest corner of 660 Avenue and 331d Street, from L-1, Low-DensitY Residential -I (up to 3 units/acre) to L-2, Low -Density Residential -2 (up to 6 units/acre). The result of both of those changes was a decrease in the land use designation density of the affected areas and, therefore, a decrease in potential impacts. Thus, the analysis and justification presented in the EAR still applies. Nevertheless, it is necessary to adpublic facilities impacts and eve plan coruds=cY for the four remaining EAR based future land use map changes. Those changes are identified and discussed below. Change +379 acres, located at the southwest corner of 661 Avenue and 331 Street, from L-1 to L-2. The site, currently designated L-1, Low Density Residential -1 (up to 3 unitslacre), is depicted on attachment 3. This amendment would change the land use designation of the site to L-2, Low - Density Residential -2 (up to 6 units/acre). The site and all surrounding lands consist Primarily of citrus groves. Land abutting flie site on the south is designated L 2, as is land to the east. across 66th Avenue. Land abutting the site on the west is designated L-1. Land north of the site, across 33id Street, is designated AG -1, Agricultural (up to 1 unit(5 acres). That land is outside of the urban service area. Classified as an arterial roadway on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map, 661h Avenue is a 2 - lane paved road with 70 feet of public road right-of-way. It is programmed to expand to 120 feet and 4 lanes by 2010. The site also fronts 331d Street, a 2 -lane collector road with 60 feet of public road right-of-way. No improvements are currently planned for 331' Street The most intense use of the site under the proposed land use designation would be 227 single-family residences. A review of the traffic impacts that would result from such a development on the subject property indicates that the existing level of service "D" or better on impacted roadways would not be lowered The site fi f nmation used for determining traffic impacts is as follows: 1.
