CG, General Commercial District. The CG, General Commercial, district is intended to provide areas for the development of general retail sales and selected service activities. The CG district is not intended to provide for heavy commercial activities, such as commercial service uses, heavy repair services or industrial uses ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the rezoning request will be presented. Specifically, this section will include: o an analysis of the request's impact on public facilities; o an analysis of the request's consistency with the county's comprehensive plan, o an analysis of the request's dompatibility with the surrounding area; and o 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 also requires 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 distnct. For commercial rezoning requests, the most intense use (according to the county's land development regulations) is retail commercial with 10,000 square feet of gross floor area per acre of land proposed for rezoning. The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows: 1. Size of Area to be Rezoned: 4.72 acres 2. Existing Zoning District: CH, Heavy Commercial OCR, Office, Commercial, Residential 3. Proposed Zoning District: CG, General Commercial 4.
