• 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 land use amendment and rezoning requests, conditional concurrency review is required. Conditional concurrency review examines the available capacity of each facility with respect to a proposed project. Since land use amendment and 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 land use designation. For residential land use designation requests, the most intense use (according to the County's Comprehensive Plan and 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 land use designation. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: 1. Size of Area to be Redesignated: ±142 acres 2. Existing Land Use Designation: R, Rural Residential (up to 1 unit/acre) 3. Proposed Land Lse Designation: L-1, Low -Density Residential -1 (up to 3 units/acre) 4. Most Intense Use of Subject Property Under Current Land Use Designation: 5. Most Intense Use of Subject Property Under Proposed Land Use Designation: 142 Single -Family Units 426 Single -Family Units Transportation As part 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 land use designation, and assigns those trips to impacted roads. Impacted roads are defined in section 910.09(4)(b)3 of 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 roadways would not be lowered by the traffic generated by development of 426 single-family units on the subject property. Attachment 4 of this staff report contains a more detailed transportation concurrency analysis. Water With the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment, the subject property could accommodate 426 single-family residential units, resulting in water consumption at a rate of 426 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 106,500 gallons/day. This is based upon a level of service of250 gallons/ERU/day Development on the subject property would be served by the North County Reverse Osmosis Plant which currently has a remaining capacity of more than 1,500,000 gallons/day and can accommodate the additional demand generated by the proposed land use amendment.
