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 zoning district, 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 (50/6) 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 211 single-family units on the subject property. Water With the proposed zoning, the subject property could accommodate 211 residential units, resulting in water consumption at a rate of 211 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 52,750 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 approximately 3,900,000 gallons/day and can accommodate the additional demand generated by the proposed rezoning. Wastewater Based upon the most intense use allowed under the proposed zoning, development of the property will have a wastewater generation rate of approximately 211 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 52,750 gallons/day. This is based upon the level of service standard 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 875,000 gallons/day and can accommodate the additional wastewater generated by the subject request. 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 211 unit residential development would be anticipated to house approximately 485 people (2.3 X 211). 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 955 (485 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 over 800,000 cubic yards. The active segment of the landfill has a four 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 zoning district. October 3, 2000 61 BK 5 PG 299
