• • 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 100,000 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 100.000 square feet on the subject property will have a water consumption rate of 30 Equivalvent Residential Units (ERU). or 7.500 gallons/day. This is based upon a level-ot-service standard of 250 gallons/ERU/day. Water lines extend to the site from the North Count} 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 under the proposed amendment. development of the subject property will have a wastewater generation rate of approximately 30 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 7 500 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 Central 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 100.000 square foot commercial development on the subject site. solid waste generation will be approximately 500 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 100.000 square feet of commercial development would be expected to generate 833 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 820.000 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. 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 addition. development proposals must meet the discharge requirements of the county Stormwater Management Ordinance. Since the site is located within the M-1 Drainage Basin and the Indian River Farms Water Control District (IRFWCD). development on the property will be prohibited from discharging any runoff in excess of 2 inches in a 24 hour period. which is the approved IRFWCD discharge rate.
