• 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. 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. For residential rezoning requests, the most intense use (according to the County's LDRs) is the maximum number of units that could be built on the site, given the size of the property and the maximum density under the proposed zoning. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: 1. Size of Area to be Rezoned: f19 acres 2. Existing Zoning District: RM4, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 4 units/acre) 3. Proposed Zoning District: RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre) 4. Most Intense Use of Subject Property Under Existing Zoning District: 76 Single -Family Units 5. Most Intense Use of Subject Property Under Proposed Zoning District: 114 Single -Family Units Transportation As part of the concurrency review process, the applicant has submitted a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). The county's Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed and approved that TIA. A TIA reports the number of peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips that would be generated by the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed zoning district, and assigns those trips to impacted roads. Impacted roads are defined in the county's LDRs as roadway segments which receive five percent (5%) or more of the project traffic or fifty (50) or more project trips, whichever is less. According to the approved TIA, the existing level of service on impacted roads would not be lowered by the traffic generated by development of 114 single-family units on the subject property. Water With the proposed zoning, the subject property could accommodate 114 residential units, resulting in water consumption at a rate of 114 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 28,500 gallons/day.
