• <br />• <br />5. Most Intense Use of Subject <br />Property under Proposed <br />Zoning District: 293 single-family units <br />- Transportation <br />As part of the concurrency review process, the applicant has submiaed a Traffic impact Anaiysis <br />(TIA). The county's Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed and approved that TIA. A TIA <br />reports the number of peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips that would be generated by the <br />most intense use of the subject property under the proposed zoning district, and assigns those trips <br />to impacted roads. Impacted roads are defined in section 910.09(4)(b)3 of the county's LDRs as <br />roadway segments which receive five percent (5%) or more of the project traffic or fifty (50) or more <br />project trips, whichever is less. <br />According to the approved TIA, the existing level of service on impacted roadways would not be <br />lowered by the traffic generated by development of 293 single-family units on the subject property. <br />- Water <br />Centralized potable water service is available to the subject property from the South County Reverse <br />Osmosis Plant. With the most intense use allowed under the proposed rezoning, the subject property <br />will have a water consumption rate of 293 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 73,250 <br />gallons/day. This is based upon a level of service standard of 250 gallons/ERU/day. Since the South <br />County Reverse Osmosis Plant currently has a remaining capacity of approximately 1,800,000 <br />gallons/day, the plant can accommodate the additional demand generated by the proposed zoning. <br />When the North County Reverse Osmosis Plant is operating, the subject property will be served <br />primarily by that plant. Since the North County Plant has capacity for approximately 2,000,000 <br />gallons/day, that plant also can accommodate the additional demand generated by the proposed <br />zoning. <br />- Wastewater <br />Centralized wastewater service is available to the subject property from the North County <br />Wastewater Treatment Plant. If a 293 unit residential project on the site connected to the regional <br />sewer system, that project would have a wastewater generation rate of 293 Equivalent Residential <br />Units (ERU), or 73,250 gallons/day. This is based upon a level of service standard of 250 <br />gallons/ERU/day. Since the North County Wastewater Treatment Plant currently has a remaining <br />capacity of approximately 816,000 gallons/day, the plant can accommodate the additional demand <br />generated by the proposed zoning. <br />- Solid Waste <br />Solid waste service includes pick-up by private operators and disposal at the county landfill. The <br />county's adopted level of service standard for landfill capacity is 1.97 cubic yards/person/year. With <br />the county's average of approximately 2.3 persons/unit, a 293 unit residential development would <br />be anticipated to house approximately 674 people (2.3 X 293). For the subject request to meet the <br />county's adopted level of service standard of 1.97 cubic yards/person/year, the landfill must have <br />enough capacity to accommodate approximately 1,328 (674 X 1.97) cubic yards/year. <br />A review of the solid waste capacity for the active segment of the county landfill indicates the <br />availability of more than 830,000 cubic yards. The active segment of the landfill has a 1 year <br />capacity, and the landfill has expansion capacity beyond 2010. Based on the analysis, staff <br />determined that the county landfill can accommodate the additional solid waste generated by the site <br />under the proposed zoning district. <br />August 25, 1998 <br />41 <br />BOOK '106 PAGE 63 <br />
