Transportation As part of the concurrency review process, the applicant has submitted a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). The county's Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed and approved that TIA. A TIA 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 land use designation, and assigns those trips to impacted roads. Impacted roads are defined in section 910.09(4)(b)3 of the county's LDRs as roadway segments which receive five percent (5%) or more of the project traffic or fifty (50) or more project trips, whichever is less. According to the approved TIA, the existing level of service on impacted roadways would not be lowered by the traffic generated by development of a 178,000 square foot shopping center on the subject property. Attachment 4 of this staff report contains a more detailed transportation concurrency analysis. Water A retail commercial use of 178,000 square feet on the subject property will have a water consumption rate of 53 Equivalent Residential units (ERU), or 13,333.5 gallons/day. This is based upon a level of service standard of 250 gallons/ERU/day. Water lines extend to the site from the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant which currently has a remaining capacity of approximately 4,500,000 gallons/day and therefore can accommodate the potable water demand associated with the proposed amendment. Wastewater The subject property is serviced by the West Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. Based upon the most intense use allowed under the proposed amendment, development of the property will have a wastewater generation rate of approximately 53 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 13,333.5 gallons/day. This is based upon the level of service standard of 250 gallons/ERU/day. The West Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant currently has a remaining capacity of approximately 1,000,000 gallons/day and can accommodate the additional wastewater generated by the proposed amendment. Solid Waste Solid waste service includes pick-up by private operators and disposal at the county landfill. For a 178,000 square foot commercial development on the subject site, solid waste generation will be approximately 889 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 178,000 square feet of commercial development would be expected to generate 1,482 cubic yards of wastelyear. A review of the solid waste capacity for the active segment of the county landfill indicates the availability of more than 822,000 cubic yards. The active segment of the landfill has a 2 year capacity, and the landfill has expansion capacity beyond 2010. Based on staff analysis, it was determined that the county landfill can accommodate the additional solid waste generated by the proposed amendment. JULY 119 2000 -109- 6K 114 PG 125
