Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element Service Standards Level -of -service standards for concurrency related facilities are established in this plan for the following facilities: sanitary sewer, potable water, solid waste, stormwater management, recreation, public schools, and transportation. These are explained in detail in the applicable comprehensive plan elements. For each facility, level -of -service is a measure of the relationship between demand for the service and the capacity of the facility. Capacity, however, is measured differently for each type of facility. Table 6.18 identifies both the capacity and demand measures for each public facility. These measures are addressed in detail, and existing capacities are identified in the applicable Comprehensive Plan Elements. . Table 6.18: Service.

If that capacity is not available, the proj ect cannot be approved. The principal function of the concurrency management system then is to provide a mechanism whereby demand and capacity measures can be compared on a project by project basis. Table 6.18 provides the criteria for establishing a demand to capacity comparison for a proposed project. While most of the characteristics are self-explanatory, one needs clarification; this is the geographic scope for the traffic public facility category. For concurrency purposes, affected roadways will be those roadways impacted by a project's traffic. All projects, regardless of size, impact the roadway on which the project fronts.
