states that the developer agrees to connect to the county water <br />system at the time of development. <br />A retail commercial use of 150,000 square feet on the subject <br />property will have a water consumption rate of 45 Equivalent <br />Residential units (ERU), or 111250 gallons/day. This is based upon <br />a level of service standard of 250 gallons/ERU/day. When the <br />subject property connects to county lines, it will be serviced by <br />the North County Water Plant. The proposed plant will have a <br />capacity of 21000,000 gallons/day and will be able to accommodate <br />the additional demand generated by the proposed amendment. <br />- Wastewater <br />The subject property is serviced by the North County Wastewater <br />Plant. Based upon the most intense use allowed under the proposed <br />amendment, development of the property will have a wastewater <br />generation rate of approximately 45 Equivalent Residential Units <br />(ERU), or 11,250 gallons/day. This is based upon the level of <br />service standard of 250 galloho/ERU/day. The North County <br />Wastewater Plant currently has a remaining capacity of <br />approximately 867,000 gallons/day and can accommodate the <br />additional wastewater generated by the proposed amendment. <br />- Solid Waste <br />Solid waste service includes pick-up by private operators and <br />disposal at the county landfill. For a 150,000 square foot <br />commercial development on the subject site, solid waste generation <br />will be approximately 750 waste generation units (WGU) or 2,222 <br />cubic yards of solid waste/year. A WGU is a Waste Generation Unit <br />measurement equivalent to 2.9625 cubic yards of waste/year. <br />While WGU's are units of measurement which can be applied to either <br />commercial or residential uses, WGU's must be considered in terms <br />of residential units in order to correspond to the county's solid <br />waste level of service standards. According to the county's solid <br />waste regulations, each residential unit generates 1.6 WGU/unit. <br />With the county's adopted level of service standard of 2.37 cubic <br />yards/person/year and the county's average of two persons/unit, <br />each WGU is equivalent to 1.25 people (2/1.6 = 1.25) and 2.9625 <br />cubic yards of solid waste/year (1.25 X 2.37). To calculate the <br />total cubic yards of solid waste for the most intense use allowed <br />on the subject property under the proposed land use amendment, <br />staff utilized the following formula: Total number of WGUs X 1.25 <br />X 2.37 (750 X 1.25 X 2.37 = 2222 cubic yards/year). <br />A review of the solid waste capacity for the active segment of the <br />county landfill indicates the availability of more than 900,000 <br />cubic yards. The active segment of the landfill has a 3 year <br />capacity, and the landfill has expansion capacity beyond 2010. <br />Based on staff analysis, it was determined that the county landfill <br />can accommodate the additional solid waste generated by the <br />proposed amendment. <br />- Drainage <br />All developments are reviewed for compliance with county stormwater <br />regulations which require on-site retention, preservation of <br />floodplain storage and minimum finished floor elevations. In <br />addition, development proposals must meet the discharge <br />requirements of the county Stormwater Management Ordinance. Any <br />development on the subject property will be prohibited from <br />discharging any runoff in excess of the pre -development rate. <br />Both the on-site retention and discharge standards apply. With the <br />most intense use of this site, the maximum area of impervious <br />surface for the proposed request will be approximately 468,270 <br />square feet. In order to maintain the county's adopted level of <br />service, the applicant will be required to retain approximately <br />31 <br />Nov 17199L BOOK G`q C <br />
