Although the current right-of-way width is 60 feet, this segment of 9`h SW Street is programmed to contain 130 feet of public road right-of-way by 2020. ANALYSIS 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 commercial or industrial rezoning requests, the most intense use (according to the County's LDRs) is 10,000 square feet of retail commercial space per acre, 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: 126 acres 2. Land Use Designation: C/I, Commercial/Industrial 3. Existing Zoning District: A-1, Agricultural District 4. Proposed Zoning District: IL, Light Industrial District 5. Most Intense Use Under Existing Zoning District: 1 Dwelling Unit 6. Most Intense Use Under Proposed Zoning District: 12,600 sq. ft. of Retail Commercial (Shopping Center in the 6th Edition ITE Manual) MARCH 12, 2002 -31- •
