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 sr,rviccs 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 he 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 April 23, 2002 45
