Transportation As part of the concurrency review process, the applicant submitted a Traffic Impact study. A Traffic Impact Study reports the number of peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips that would be generated by the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed zoning district, and it assigns peak trip data to the County's thoroughfare roadway network within the project's area of influence. That area of influence is defined in section 910.09(4)(b)3 of the County's LDRs as roadway segments that receive eight (8) or more peak season/peak hour/peak direction project trips for two-lane roadways or fifteen (15) or more peak season/peak hour/peak direction project trips for four -lane (or wider) roadways. For this rezoning request, the county's Traffic Engineering Division reviewed and approved the applicant's traffic impact study. According to the approved traffic impact study, the existing level of service on impacted roadways would not be lowered by the traffic generated by development of 154 multiple -family units on the subject property. Water With the proposed rezoning, the subject property could accommodate up to 154 residential units. Presently, County Water and Wastewater service is available to the subject parcels. Development on the subject property will be served by the North & South County Reverse Osmosis Plants (interlinked), which currently has sufficient existing and planned capacity to accommodate the additional demand generated by the 154 unit theoretical maximum associated with the proposed rezoning. Wastewater County wastewater service is available to the site from the West Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, which currently has sufficient existing and planned capacity to accommodate the additional wastewater generated by the 154 unit theoretical maximum associated with the subject request. Solid Waste Solid waste service includes pick-up by private operators and disposal at the county landfill. A review of the solid waste capacity for the active segment of the county landfill as well as planned expansions of the landfill indicates that the county landfill can accommodate the additional solid waste generated by the site under the proposed rezoning. Stormwater Manaaement All developments are reviewed for compliance with county stormwater regulations, which require on-site retention, and preservation of floodplain storage and minimum finished floor elevations when located within a floodplain. In addition, development proposals must meet the discharge requirements of the county Stormwater Management Ordinance. Since the site is located within the Indian River Farms Water Control District (IRFWCD), development on the property will be prohibited from discharging any runoff in excess of two inches in a twenty-four hour period, which is the approved IRFWCD discharge rate. 23
