The site is bounded on the east by US L Classified as an urban principal arterial roadway on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map, this segment of US 1 is a four lane road with approximately 120 feet of public road right-of-way. Currently, there are no plans to expand this portion of US 1. The site is bounded on the south by 53'd Street.

The CG district is intended to provide for the small and large scale retail needs of the county. The CG district is also intended to serve highway oriented retail needs. The IL district is intended to provide for limited manufacturing and industrial uses and for employment centers. The differences between the districts are best illustrated by their purpose statements. These purpose statements are as follows: • 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. • IL, Light Industrial District. The IL, Light Industrial, district is intended .to provide opportunities for limited manufacturing and industrial uses and to promote the establishment of employment centers which are accessible to urban services and facilities, the area labor force, and local industrial and business markets while minimizing the potential for any adverse impacts upon nearby properties. In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented. The analysis will include a description of: ' • 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. 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. Conditional concurrency review examines the available capacity of each facility with respect to a proposed project. Since rezoning 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 zoning district. For commercial rezoning requests, the most intense use (according to the county's land development regulations) is retail commercial with 10,000 square feet of gross floor area per acre of land proposed for rezoning. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: JUNE 169 1998 -17-boC� K i0b,
