Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally important or environmentally sensitive by the comprehensive plan. No wetlands or native upland plant communities exist on site. According to Flood Insurance Rating Maps, the subject property does not contain any flood hazard areas. Utilities and Services The site is within the Urban Service Area of the county. Wastewater collection lines extend to the site from the West Region Wastewater Treatment Plant, while Mable water distribution lines extend to the site from the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant. Transportation System The site is bounded on the south by SR 60. Classified as an urban principal arterial roadway on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map, this segment of SR 60 is a four lane road with approximatey I 163 feet of public road right-of-way. By 2005, the Florida Department of Transportation plans to begin construction to expand the portion of SR 60 between 66`� Avenue and Interstate 95 from four lanes to six lanes. 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. Concurrency of Public Facilities 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: NOVEMBER 16, 1999 -93- BOOK FAGUE d
