• an analysis of the request ' s impact on public facilities ; • an analysis of the request ' s consistency with the county ' s comprehensive plan ; 0 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 ' s Urban Service Area, an area deemed suited for urban scale development . The Comprehensive Plan establishes standards for : Transportation, Potable Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Stormwater Management 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 concurrencv analysis is as follows : 1 . Size of Area to be Rezoned : ±32 .36 acres 2 . Existing Zoning District : A- 1 , Agricultural District (up to l unit/5 acres ) 3 . Proposed Zoning District : RM-8, Multiple-Family Residential District ( up to 8 units/acre) 4 . Most Intense Use of Subject Property Under Existing Zoning District : 6 Single-Family Units 5 . Most Intense Use of Subject Property Under Proposed Zoning District : 258 Single-Family Units Tr nspaaation As pan 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 258 single-family units on the subject property .
