In teams of permitted uses, there are more differences than similarities between the existing CH zoning district and the proposed CL district. The CL district is intended to provide for the small scale retail, service, and professional office needs of the county while minimizing the impact of such activities on any nearby residential areas. In contrast, the CH district is intended to serve the storage, distribution, and heavy repair needs of the county. The differences between the districts are best illustrated by their purpose statements found in the county's land development regulations. These purpose statements are as follows: • CL, Limited Commercial District The CL, Limited Commercial, district is intended to provide areas for the development of restricted commercial activities. The CL district is intended to accommodate the convenience retail and service needs of area residents, while minimizing the impact of such activities on any nearby residential areas. • CH, Heavy Commercial District. The CH, Heavy Commercial, district is intended to provide areas for establishments engaging in wholesale trade, major repair services and restricted light manufacturing activities. The CH district is further intended to provide support services necessary for the development of commercial and industrial uses allowed within other non-residential zoning districts. In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented The analysis will include a description of - 0 f • 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 concunrency management system component of the Capital Improvements Element.
