The L-2 designation permits residential densities up to 6 unitstacre. Properties to the east of the subject properties are designated L-1, Low Density Residential -1, a designation which permits residential densities up to 3 units/acre. Properties to the north and south of the subject area are designated C/I, Commercial/Industrial, a land use designation which permits commercial and industrial zoning districts. The subject properties are not designated as environmentally important nor environmentally sensitive by the Comprehensive Plan. No wetlands nor native upland plant communities exist on site. The subject properties are not within a 100 year floodplain. The site is within the Urban Service Area of the county. Centralized potable water service is available to the site from the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant. Wastewater service is not available to the site. Abutting the subject area on the west is Old Dixie Highway. Classified as a rural major collector roadway on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map, this segment of Old Dixie Highway is a two- lane road with approximately 60 feet of public road right-of-way. No improvements are scheduled for the portion of Old Dixie Highway that abuts the subject area. The site is bounded on the east by U.S. 1. Classified as a rural principal arterial roadway on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map, this segment of U.S.1 is a four -lane road with approximately 70 feet of public road right-of-way. No improvements are scheduled for the portion of U.S. 1 that abuts the subject area. In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the land use amendment request will be presented. Specifically, this analysis will address: • concurrency of public facilities; • consistency with the county's Comprehensive Plan; • compatibility with the surrounding area; 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 minimum development 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) require that new development be reviewed to ensure that the minimum acceptable standards for these services and facilities are maintained.
