south. The proposed design satisfies the interconnected parking requirement. Since the interconnection "stub -out" and the common driveway will be bisected by a property line, an easement for construction is necessary. Therefore, prior to release of the approved site plan, the applicant shall execute and record in the public records, in a manner acceptable to the county attorney's office, a reciprocal easement that allows for construction and access use of the common driveway that is proposed. The County Traffic Engineer has accepted the traffic impact analysis submitted with the site plan application, and has determined that a right -tum deceleration lane for the proposed U S Highway 1 driveway is required to mitigate anticipated project impacts. The Traffic Engineer has also approved the proposed access point. internal traffic circulation plan, and the interconnected parking design. The Traffic Engineer has no objection to approval of the major site plan application, subject to conditions ensuring review and approval of final design details for a right -tum deceleration lane for the site's U S Highway 1 driveway connection, and construction of the deceleration lane prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. 14. Dedications and Improvements: In order to satisfy minimum local road right-of-way requirements along 42" d Street, the developer/owner is required to dedicate to the county without compensation 5' of 42" d Street right-of-way. The 5' dedication area is depicted on the site plan. The actual dedication is required prior to release of the site plan. In the area of the site, the current U S Highway 1 right-of-way width is 120'. In order to provide for the county Thoroughfare Plan's 160' ultimate right-of-way width for U S Highway 1, 20' of additional right-of-way would eventually be needed from the site. The Public Works Department, however, does not desire to purchase the additional right-of-way from the property owner at this time. The applicant/developer has been advised that future U S Highway 1 right-of-way acquisition from the site could result in non -conformities (e.g. parking and landscaping). Site street lighting and a 5' wide sidewalk along the site's U S Highway 1 and 42nd Street frontages are required improvements, and are depicted on the site plan for construction. 15. Environmental Issues: Uplands: The project is less than 5 acres; therefore, it is not subject to the native upland set-aside provisions of LDR section 929.05. Wetlands: The St. Johns River Water Management District has identified two low quality, isolated wetlands totaling .39 acres on the site. Development of the site will result in filling all .39 acres of the wetlands. Therefore, prior to release of the site plan, the applicant/developer shall apply for and obtain a county wetlands resource permit and mitigate the impact of the wetlands filling pursuant to the provisions of LDR section 928.06. County environmental planning staff has no objection to mitigation measures, subject to St Johns River Water Management District approval. 16. Concurrency: The applicant has chosen not to apply for an initial concurrency certificate at this time and has executed and notarized a concurrency notice form. The notice states that no building permit will be issued for all or any portion of the project unless and until a concurrency certificate is issued for the project The notice will be recorded in the public records in order to alert any subsequent purchasers of the project or portions of the project about the status of the project's concurrency requirements. Therefore, concurrency is satisfied in regard to site plan approval. In conjunction with the conditions attached to the Planning and Zoning Commission's site plan approval, there is no contention that the site plan application fails to satisfy applicable LDR site plan and design standards. USE AND ZONING CODE ISSUES Based upon and consistent with the adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the county's zoning map places every property in the unincorporated area of the county into one or more zoning districts. Also based upon and consistent with the adopted plan, the county�s zoning code (Chapter 911) sets forth which uses are allowed in each district(s) and under what conditions (if any). Therefore, since the subject site's CG zoning is consistent with its C/I (Commercial/Industrial) land use designation, development of the subject property is considered to be consistent with the comprehensive plan if it is consistent with the CG district regulations.
