3. Proposed Land Use Designation: PUB, Public Facilities 4. Most Intense Use of Subject Property under Current Land Use Designation: 35 Single -Family Units 5. Most Intense Use of Subject Property under Proposed Land Use Designation: 53,375 sq. ft. of Medical Office Transportation The county's Traffic Engineering Division has determined 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 assigned those trips to impacted roads. Impacted roads are defined in section 910.09(4)(b)3 of the county's Land Development Regulations 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 above analysis, the existing level of service on impacted roadways would not be lowered by the traffic generated by development of 53,375 square feet medical offices on the subject property Water A medical office use of 53,375 square feet on the subject property will have a water consumption rate of 16 Equivalvent Residential Units (ERU), or 4,000 gallons/day. This is based upon a level -of - service standard of 250 gallons/HRU/day. Water lines extend to the site from the North County Reverse Osmosis Plant which currently has a remaining capacity of approximately 1,500,000 gallons/day and therefore can accommodate the potable water demand associated with the proposed amendment. Wastewater Based upon the most intense use allowed underthe proposed amendment, development of the subject property will have a wastewater generation rate of approximately 16 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 4,000 gallons/day. The subject property is served by the Central Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant which has a remaining capacity of approximately 1 100,000 gallons/day Therefore, the Centra] Regional Wastewater Treatment Plan 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 53,375 square foot medical office development on the subject site, solid waste generation will be approximately 267 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 53,375 square feet of commercial development would be expected to generate 445 cubic yards of waste/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 three 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. January 15, 2002 48 I00
