• Transportation System The subject property's southern boundary is 45`h Street, a two lane paved road with 35 feet of existing public road right-of-way. That portion of 45`h Street is programmed for expansion to 80 feet of public road right of way by 2020, and is classified as an urban collector roadway on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map. The site is bounded on the north and east by 47th Street and 28th Avenue, respectively. Those streets are paved local roads with 50 feet of existing public road right-of-way. ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the land use amendment request will be presented. Specifically, this analysis will address: • the proposed amendment's impact on public facilities; • the proposed amendment's consistency with the county's comprehensive plan; • the proposed amendment's compatibility with the surrounding area; and • the proposed amendment'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 minimum development standards for: Transportation, Potable Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Stoiinwater Management 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 (LDRs) 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 Comprehensive Plan amendment requests, conditional concurrency review is required. Conditional concurrency review examines the available capacity of each facility with respect to a proposed project. Since Comprehensive Nan amendment 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 land use designation. For PUB, Public Facilities, several land uses may be applicable. In this case, the most intense use is medical office with 15,250 square feet of gross floor area per acre of land proposed for redesignation. Due to site development constraints, the concurrency analysis for the subject request will be conducted for only the northern 3.5 acres of the site. The remainder of the site is either developed (the church/historic museum on the southern 2 acres) or unlikely to be developed due to the possibility of burials on the site. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: 1. Size of Area: 3.5 acres 2. Existing Land Use Designation: M-2, Medium -Density Residential -2 (up to 10 units/acre) January 15, 2002 • 47 6
