Transportation Access to the site will be from 43`d Avenue, a paved public road with 50 feet of right of way. As part of the concurrency review process, the applicant has submitted a Traffic Impact Statement (TIS). The county's Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed and approved that TIS. A TIS 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 (5%) or more of the project traffic or fifty (50) or more project trips, whichever is less. According to the approved TIS, the existing level of service on impacted roads would not be lowered by the traffic generated by development of 60 single-family units on the subject property. Water With the proposed zoning, the subject property could accommodate 60 residential units, resulting in water consumption at a rate of 60 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU) or 15,000 gallons/day. This is based upon a Ievel 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 sufficient capacity to 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 60 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 15,000 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 South Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, which currently has sufficient capacity to 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 60 unit residential development would be anticipated to house approximately 138 people (2.3 X 60). 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 272 (138 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 more than 820,000 cubic yards The active segment of the landfill has a 2 year capacity, and the landfill has expansion capacity beyond 2010. Based on the analysis, staff has determined that the county landfill can accommodate the additional solid waste generated by the site under the proposed zoning district. Stormwater Management 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 November 19, 2002 40
