MAY 01 5 1992 -Water BOOK ( J FA{ The site is located within the North County Water Service Area. Since the North County Water Plant has not been built yet, this area is served by the South County Water Plant. A review of the water capacity in that plant indicates a remaining capacity of approximately 4 million gallons per day. With the most intense use under the proposed land use designation, the subject property will have a consumption rate of 116.96 Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs), or 29,240 gallons per day. This is based upon the level of service standard of 250 gallons per ERU per day. Since no ERUs have been reserved as of the present time, the applicant has entered into a developer's agreement with the county which states that the developer agrees to pay his impact fees and connect to the county system at the time of development or to expand county water facilities or pay for the expansion if capacity is not available at the time of site development. This is consistent with Future Land Use Policy 2.7 which requires development projects to maintain -established levels of service. -Wastewater A retail commercial use of 290,000 square feet on the subject property will have a wastewater generation rate of 116.96 Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs), or 29,240 gallons per day. This is based on the county's adopted level of service standard of 250 gallons per ERU per day. County wastewater service is available to the site from the Central Wastewater Plant (Gifford). The Central Wastewater Plant has an available capacity of 565,000 gallons per day. Since no ERUs have been reserved as ,of :the present time, the applicant has entered into a developer's agreement with the county which states that the developer agrees to pay his impact fees and connect to the county system if capacity is available at the time of development or to expand county wastewater facilities or pay for the expansion if capacity is not available at the time of site development. With these conditions, the utility concurrency test has been met for the subject request. -Solid Waste Solid waste service includes pickup by private operators and disposal at the county landfill. Solid waste generation by a 290,000 square foot commercial development on the subject site will be approximately 731 waste generation units (WGUs), or 2,165 cubic yards of solid waste per year. This is based upon the level of service standard of 2.37 cubic yard per capita per year. A review of the solid waste capacity for the active segment of the county landfill indicates the availability of more than 900,000 cubic yards. The active segment of the landfill has a 4 -year capacity, and the landfill has expansion capacity beyond 2010. Based upon staff analysis, it was determined that the county landfill can accommodate the additional solid waste. -Drainage All developments are reviewed for compliance with county stormwater regulations which require on-site retention and minimum finished floor elevations. In addition, development proposals will have to meet the discharge requirements of the county Stormwater Management Ordinance. Since the subject property is located within the R-4 Drainage Basin and no discharge rate has been set for this basin, any development on the property will be prohibited from discharging any run-off in excess of the pre -development rate. In this case, the minimum floor elevation level of service standards also apply, since a portion of the property is within a floodplain. Consistent with Drainage Policy 1.2, "all new buildings shall have the lowest habitable floor elevation no lower 46
