uses with densities up to 3 units/acre. Land to the south and west of the subject property is designated M-1, Medium -Density Residential -1, on the county future land use map. The M-1 designation permits residential uses with densities up to 8 units/acre. Being a citrus grove, the subject property is -a disturbed site. The subject property is not designated as environmentally important nor environmentally sensitive by the comprehensive plan. No wetlands nor native upland plant communities exist on site. According to Flood Insurance Rating Maps, the subject property does not contain any flood hazard areas. The site is within the UrbanService Area of the county. Wastewater service is available to the site from the West Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, while potable water service is available to the site from the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant. The property's south boundary abuts 26 h Street. Classified as a collector road on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map, this segment of 26`h Street is a 2 -lane paved road with approximately 60 feet of existing public road right-of-way. No expansion of this segment of 26`h Street is currently programmed. In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the rezoning request will be presented. Specifically, this section will include: • an analysis of the request's impact on public facilities; • an analysis of the request's consistency with the county's comprehensive plan; • an analysis of the request's compatibility with the surrounding area; and • an analysis of the request's 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 and Land Development Regulations (LDRs) also require 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. For residential rezoning requests, the most intense use (according to the County's LDRs) is the maximum number of units that could be built on the site, given the size of the property and the maximum density under the proposed zoning. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: 1. Size of Area to be Rezoned: 19.55 acres August 25, 1998 29 • BOOK 106 PAGE'..
