Solid Waste Solid waste service includes pick-up by private operators and disposal at the county landfill. For a 70,700 square foot commercial development on the subject site, solid waste generation will be approximately 354 waste generation units (WGU) annually. A WGU is a Waste Generation Unit Measurement equivalent to one ton (2,000 pounds) of solid waste. Using the accepted conversion rate of one cubic yard for every 1,200 pounds of compacted solid waste generated, the 70,700 square feet of commercial development would be expected to generate 590 cubic yards of waste/year. A review of the solid waste capacity for the active segment of the county landfill indicates the availability of 840,214 cubic yards. The active segment of the landfill has a two year 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. Drainage 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. The site is located within the R-5 Drainage Basin. In this case, the minimum floor elevation level -of -service standards do not apply, since the properties do not lie within a floodplain. However, both the on-site retention and discharge standards apply. With the most intense use of this site under the proposed amendment, the maximum area of impervious surface would be approximately 123,188 square feet, or 2.83 acres. The maximum runoff volume, based on that amount of impervious surface and the 25 year/24 hour design storm would be approximately 190,571 cubic feet. In order to maintain the county's adopted level -of - service, the applicant would be required to retain approximately 43,855 cubic feet of runoff on-site. With the soil characteristics of the subject properties, the estimated pre -development runoff rate is 2,302 cubic feet/second. Based upon staffs analysis, the drainage level -of -service standards will be met by requiring retention of the 43,855 cubic feet of runoff for the most intense use of the property. As with all development, a more detailed review will be conducted during the development approval process. Recreation Recreation concurrency requirements apply only to residential development. Therefore, this Comprehensive Plan amendment/rezoning request would not be required to satisfy recreation concurrency requirements. Based upon the analysis conducted, staff has determined that all concurrency -mandated facilities, including drainage, roads, solid waste, wastewater, and water, have adequate capacity to accommodate the most intense use of the subject properties under the proposed land use designation. Therefore, the concurrency test has been satisfied for the subject request. Comprehensive Plan amendment requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of the Comprehensive Plan. As per section 800.07(1) of the County Code, the "Comprehensive Plan may only be amended in such a way as to preserve the internal consistency of the plan pursuant to Section 163.3177(2)F.S.." Amendments must also show consistency with the overall designation of land uses as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, which includes agricultural, residential, recreational, conservation, and commercial and industrial land uses and their densities.
