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 <br />development applications can be compared to the available capacity for the facility to determine if the <br />project can be approved. The purpose of the monitoring program is to maintain a current estimate of <br />available 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 database 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 database 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 6.17 depicts the general structure of the monitoring system database file for each public facility <br />category. That 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 6.17: Monitoring System <br />Design <br />Public Facility <br />Category <br />Specific <br />Facilities <br />Total Capacity <br />Existing Demand <br />Committed Demand <br />Available Capacity <br />Traffic <br />Roadways <br />Peak season/ peak <br />direction/ peak <br />hour (LOS D) <br />Annual count (average) <br />(peak season/peak <br />direction/peak hour) <br />Volume estimated from <br />approved Development <br />Orders (DO) <br />(Total Capacity) - (Existing <br />Demand) - (Committed Demand) <br />Sanitary Sewer <br />Treatment <br />Plants <br />Design flows <br />Existing flows <br />Volume estimated from <br />approved DO's <br />(Total Capacity) - (Existing <br />Demand) - (Committed Demand) <br />Potable Water <br />Treatment <br />Plants <br />Design flows <br />Existing flows <br />Volume estimated from <br />approved DO's <br />(Total Capacity) - (Existing <br />Demand) - (Committed Demand) <br />Solid Waste <br />Landfill <br />Active cell design <br />capacity <br />Active cell volume used <br />Volume estimated from <br />approved DO's <br />(Total Capacity) - (Existing <br />Demand) - (Committed Demand) <br />Recreation <br />Parks <br />Park Acreage <br />(Acres per thousand <br />population) X (existing <br />population) <br />(Acres per thousand <br />population) X (projected <br />population for approved <br />(Total Capacity) - (Existing <br />Demand) - (Committed Demand) <br />Community Development Department <br />Adopted , 2019, Ordinance 2019- El <br />Indian River County <br />47 <br />Appendix A - CIE Amendment <br />
