§ 4.01.06. Quantitative methods for sanitary sewer, solid waste, stormwater, potable water, and recreation.  


Latest version.
  • For purposes of these regulations, ensuring that minimum standards are maintained requires calculation of existing capacity and planned new capacity of facilities less demand imposed by the planned development.

    1.

    Adding capacity:

    a.

    Add total capacity of existing facilities (sanitary sewer, solid waste, stormwater, potable water, and recreation).

    b.

    Add to the above, total capacity of new facility expansion that will result from planned activity. Capacity of new facility shall be counted only when construction is underway. In no event will the capacity of new facilities be reserved longer than one year after a development and building permits have been issued unless construction has commenced within one year time frame.

    2.

    Subtracting capacity: From the sum calculated above, subtract the following:

    a.

    The demand for the service or facility created by existing development as documented in the data and analysis of the comprehensive plan plus the demand upon any new facility, expansions, or improvements anticipated as a result of the planned activity.

    b.

    Demand shall be calculated using the adopted LOS shown in section 4.02.

    3.

    Deficient capacity: Where capacity is shown to be deficient, the following methods may be used to maintain adopted levels of service.

    a.

    The developer may agree to provide necessary capacity improvements to maintain levels of service. In such case, the planned activity shall be modified guarantee no degradation of existing capacity.

    b.

    The planned activity may be reduced in scope so that demand does not exceed capacity.
