r- BOOK Ut--,-J," The subject property and all surrounding properties are designated L-2, Low -Density Residential -2, on the county future land use map. The L-2 designation permits residential uses with densities up to 6 units/acre. A commercial/industrial node exists on both sides of 27th Avenue, between 91h Street, SW, and 5h Street, SW. On the west side of 27' Avenue, that node extends nearly a quarter mile north of 5h Street, SW, and nearly a quarter mile south of 90' Street, SW. Land within commercial/ industrial nodes is designated C/I, Commercial/Industrial, on the county fdture land use map. The C/I designation permits various commercial and industrial zoning districts. The subject property is heavily wooded and may contain both native upland plant communities and wetlands. Adjacent land east of the subject property consists of scrub habitat that may contain gopher tortoises, a listed species. For that reason, it is possible that gopher tortoises may range on to or live on the subject property. According to Flood Insurance Rating Maps, the subject property does not contain any flood hazard areas. The site is within the Urban Service Area of the county. Wastewater service is available to the site from the South Region Wastewater Treatment Plant, while potable water service is available to the site from the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant. The site can be accessed by both 27h Avenue and 13" Street, SW. Classified as an urban collector road on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map, the segment of 27" Avenue that abuts the subject property is a two lane road with approximately 80 feet of public road right-of-way. Although the comprehensive plan indicates a need for an additional 50 feet of public road right-of-way, no improvements to this portion of 27' Avenue are currently programmed. The site is also bounded by 13'' Street, SW, an urban collector road on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map. An unpaved two lane road, 13`h Street, SW, has approximately 30 feet of public road right-of-way. No improvements to this portion of 13* Street, SW, are 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.
