BOOK JJJ FAGE 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 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. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: 1. Size of Area to be Rezoned: 2. Land Use Designation: 3. Existing Zoning District: 4. Proposed Zoning District: *037 acres L-2, Low -Density Residential -2 (up to 6 units/acre) CG, General Commercial RS -6, Single -Family Residential 5. Most Intense Use Under Existing Zoning District: *3,700 sq. ft. of Retail Commercial (Shopping Center in the 6t° Edition ITE Manual). 6. Most Intense Use Under Proposed Zoning District: 2 single-family units As per section 910.07(2) of the Concurrency Management Chapter of the County's Land Development Regulations, projects which do not increase density or intensity of use are exempt from concurrency requirements. This rezoning request is exempt from concurrency review because the requested zoning would not increase the use intensity of the site. In this case, a detailed concurrency analysis will be done in conjunction with any new development or changes of use on site. That concurrency analysis will address facility service levels and demand Staff feels that the proposed rezoning will increase the compatibility of development on the subject property with nearby uses. Surrounded by land zoned for single-family residential uses, the current commercial zoning of the site is essentially a "spot" zoning that would allow a wide range of retail commercial uses within a single-family subdivision. In addition, the relatively small size of the site would make buffering difficult. The proposed rezoning, however, would ensure that only single- family residential development could occur on the site. For these reasons, development of the subject property under the requested RS -6 district would be compatible with surrounding areas. April 11, 2000 K 0
