• Since the subject properties are within the county's urban -service area, the Comprehensive Plan provides for extension of sanitary sewer lines to the area sometime in the future. As indicated in the discussion above, existing Comprehensive Plan policies will require extension of wastewater collection lines to this area prior to construction of any project other than a de -minimus use. For that reason staff feels that objection C has been adequately addressed. Based on the above analysis and the fact that the county has initiated a Comprehensive Plan text amendment to set density/intensity standards for the C/I land use designation, it is staff's position that this report addresses DCA's ORC Report objections and provides justification for the DCA to find the proposed amendment "in compliance" with state -law. 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. 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 Comprehensive Plan amendment requests, conditional concurrency review is required. Conditional concurrency review examines the available capacity of each facility with respect to a proposed project. Since Comprehensive Plan amendment 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 commercial/industrial Comprehensive Plan amendment 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 redesignation. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: 1. Size of Area to be Redesignated: f7.07 acres 2. Existing Land Use Designation: _ L-2, Low -Density Residential - 2 (up to 6 units/acre) 3. Proposed Land Use Designation: 4. Most Intense Use of Subject Property under Current Land Use Designation: 5. Most Intense Use of Subject Property under Proposed Land Use Designation: Transportation C/I, Commercial/Industrial 42 Single -Family Units 70,700 sq. Ft. of Retail Commercial (Shopping Center in the 5`" Edition ITE Manual). A review of the traffic impacts that would result from the development of the properties indicate that the existing level of service "D" or better on U.S. 1 and other impacted roads would not be lowered. The site information used for determining traffic impacts is shown in table 1. September 22, 1998 63 BOOK 10"i FACE 1"'30
