Nater With the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment, the subject property could accommodate 492 single -family residential units , resulting in water consumption at a rate of 492 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU) , or 123 , 000 gallons/day . This is based upon a level of service of 250 gallons/ERU/day . Development on the subject property would be served by the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant , which currently has a remaining capacity of more than 4 , 500 , 000 gallons/day and can accommodate the additional demand generated by the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment. Although plant capacity is sufficient, county utilities staff has indicated that the long- term capacity of the distribution system ( i . e . , pumping capacity) could be impacted by the proposed amendment. Staff will need to closely monitor and plan for growth in this area. i Wastewater Based upon the most intense use allowed under the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment, development of the property will have a wastewater generation rate of approximately 492 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU ) , or 123 , 000 gallons/day . This is based upon a level of service of 250 gallons/ERU/day . County wastewater service is available to the site from the West Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, which currently has a remaining capacity of over 1 , 000 , 000 gallons/day and can accommodate the additional wastewater generated by the subject request . Although plant capacity is sufficient , county utilities staff has indicated that the long- term capacity of the collection system ( i . e . , pumping capacity) could be impacted by the proposed amendment . Staff will need to closely monitor and plan for growth in this area . Solid Waste Solid waste service includes pick- up by private operators and disposal at the county landfill . The county ' s adopted level of service standard for landfill capacity is 1 . 97 cubic yards/person/year. With the county ' s average of approximately 2 . 3 persons/unit, a residential development of 492 units would be anticipated to house approximately 1 , 132 people (2 . 3 X 492) . For the subject request to meet the county ' s adopted level of service standard of 1 . 97 cubic yards/person/year , the landfill must have enough capacity to accommodate approximately 2 , 230 ( 1 , 132 X 1 . 97) cubic yards/year. A review of the solid waste capacity for the active segment of the county landfill indicates the availability of more than 800 , 000 cubic yards . The active segment of the landfill has a threeyear capacity , and the landfill has expansion capacity beyond 2010 . Based on the analysis , staff determined that the county landfill can accommodate the additional solid waste generated by the site under the proposed land use designation . Stormwater Management During the development approval process , all developments are reviewed for compliance with county stormwater regulations which require on-site retention , preservation of floodplain storage and minimum finished floor elevations . In addition , development proposals must meet the discharge requirements of the county Stormwater Management Ordinance . Any development on the subject property will be prohibited from discharging any runoff in excess of the pre - development rate . For these reasons , drainage Level of Service will not be lowered by the proposed amendment .
