Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element project. Sanitary sewer and potable water both have rates of 250 gallons per day per equivalent residential unit. Other public facility rates are discussed fully in their applicable Comprehensive Plan Element. Like existing demand, committed demand must be determined on a facility by facility basis. For example, both existing demand and committed demand must be determined for each major roadway, each school, each treatment plant, each major drainage conveyance, and the active cell in the landfill. Also, like existing demand, committed demand estimates must be modified as projects are completed; committed demand estimates must also be modified as new development orders are approved and old development orders are terminated. Proiected Demand The third type of demand is projected demand. This consists of two types. One is non- committed/non-reserved, single-family lot demand for all subdivisions platted after February 13, 1990, while the other is new project demand. Non-committed/non-reserved single-family lot projected demand relates to the facility impacts associated with construction on single-family lots in subdivisions platted after February 13, 1990 and construction on single-family unplatted lots and acreage. Since this type of construction will impact facilities, the demand anticipated from this type of activity must be considered in facility expansion plans. For this reason, it is necessary to maintain an accurate inventory of unbuilt, platted lots and consider the impacts of construction on these lots. The second type of projected demand is new project demand. For each new project, demand estimates must be made on a facility by facility basis. Only if sufficient available capacity exists for each facility to be impacted can the project be approved and a development order issued. Upon issuance of a development order, the estimated impacts on each facility would be considered as committed demand. Availability of Capacity Facility capacity can be assessed two different ways. First, facility capacity can be determined by facilities that are existing and available; examples would be existing treatment plants and existing roadways with a set number of lanes. The second manner for assessing facility capacity is to consider both existing, in -the -ground facilities as well as facility expansions or new facilities which are programmed but not yet existing. According to Chapter 9J-5.0055(3), Minimum Requirements For Concurrency, Florida Administrative Code, the capacity of existing, in -the -ground facilities will be considered in all cases.
