Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element <br />Monitoring System <br />To effectively implement the concurrency requirement, it is necessary to maintain an estimate of <br />available capacity for each public facility subject to level -of -service requirements. By maintaining an <br />accurate and current available capacity estimate for each facility, projected demand from development <br />applications can be compared to the available capacity for the facility to determine if the project can <br />be approved. The purpose of the monitoring program is to maintain a current estimate of available <br />capacity for each facility. <br />With the exception of public schools, the monitoring system portion of the concurrency management <br />plan is maintained by the county's planning division. Effective July 1, 2008, the School District <br />initiated and now maintains the monitoring system portion of the concurrency management plan for <br />public schools. Using a network computer system and data base management software, records were <br />developed and are maintained for each specific facility. <br />Based upon information in the specific comprehensive plan elements, total capacity figures for each <br />applicable facility are maintained in data base files established for each public facility category. <br />Capacity figures are modified as facilities are expanded or as criteria specified in the availability of <br />capacity section are met, thereby allowing a programmed expansion to be considered for capacity <br />determination purposes. Through contact with other county departments, planning staff are able to <br />modify capacity estimates as soon as facility characteristics are changed. <br />Table 6.19 depicts the general structure of the monitoring system data base file for each public facility <br />category. This table shows that available capacity for each specific facility is a function of total <br />capacity less existing demand and less committed demand. The demand section of this concurrency <br />management plan identifies the methodology for assessing demand. <br />Table 6.19: Monitoring System ;Design . <br />PublicFacility <br />Specific <br />Total Capacity <br />Existing Demand <br />Committed Demand <br />Available Capacity <br />Category <br />Facilities <br />_ <br />Peak season/ peak <br />Annual count (average) <br />Volume estimated from <br />(Total Capacity) - (Existing <br />Traffic <br />Roadways <br />direction/ peak hour <br />(peak season/peak <br />approved Development <br />Demand) - (Committed <br />(LOS D) <br />direction/peak hour) <br />Orders (DO) <br />Demand) <br />SanitaryTreatment <br />Sewer <br />Plants <br />Design flows <br />Existing flows <br />Volume estimated from <br />(Total Capacity) - (Existing <br />Demand) - (Committed <br />approved DO's <br />Demand) <br />Potable Water <br />Treatment <br />Plants <br />Design flows <br />Existing flows <br />Volume estimated from <br />(Total Capacity) - (Existing <br />Demand) - (Committed <br />approved DO's <br />Demand) <br />Solid Waste <br />Landfill <br />Active cell design <br />Active cell volume used <br />Volume estimated from <br />(Total Capacity) - (Existing <br />Demand) - (Committed <br />capacity <br />approved DO's <br />Demand) <br />Community Development Department Indian River County <br />Supplement #_; Adopted ]November _, 2009, Ordinance 2009-_ <br />50 <br />
