• In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented. The analysis will address: • concurrency of public -facilities; • compatibility with the surrounding area; • consistency with the comprehensive plan; • potential impact on environmental quality; and • the applicable rezoning requirements. 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 (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 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 district. For commercial rezonings, 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: 1. Size of Area to be Rezoned: f136 acres 2. Existing Zoning District: 118 acres of RM -6 & RS -6 (up to 6 units/acre), & 18 acres of RM -8 (up to 8 units/acre) 3. Proposed Zoning District: 4. Most Intense Use of Subject Property under Current Zoning District: 5. Most Intense Use of Subject Property under Proposed Zoning District: - Transportation MED, Medical District 852 Single -Family Units 1,360,000 sq. ft. of Retail Commercial (Shopping Center in the 6th Edition ITE Manual). The most intense use of the site allowed under the proposed rezoning is calculated to be 10,000 square feet of retail shopping center per acre of land proposed for rezoning.
