§ 59.305. Concurrency Evaluation for Wastewater.  


Latest version.
  • Concurrency evaluations for Wastewater shall be conducted consistent with the LOS standards described in Section 59.204 of this Chapter. For each proposed development, the following information shall be used to determine the impact of development:

    (1)

    For each land use within the proposed development, the quantity of that land use shall be multiplied by the LOS standard for the relevant land use category as shown in Section 59.204.

    (2)

    For all land uses not identified in Section 59.204, the CMO shall assign the most relevant land use category based on typical demand for wastewater treatment.

    (3)

    The sum of the demand generated by each land use category within the proposed development shall determine the total quantity of demand for wastewater treatment.

    This impact, plus the impact of the demand for wastewater treatment from all existing, permitted, reserved, encumbered, vested and committed development, shall be compared to the existing wastewater treatment plant capacity, as identified in the Annual Capacity Availability Report. If the impacts exceed the capacity, then the proposed development shall be deemed not to be concurrent for Wastewater. Chapter 59, Part 8 addresses the process for property owners to enter a concurrency resolution process to address the deficiency. Alternatively, the property owner may postpone development until the City addresses the deficiency, as described in Chapter 59, Part 7.

    The applicant shall also coordinate with the wastewater service provider to ensure that adequate capacity is available from the wastewater line that will serve the project. This is defined as no more than 90% of line capacity is used. If adequate wastewater line capacity is not available, the applicant shall coordinate with the utility provider to determine how to address the deficiency.

    Official Source of Information. Line capacity and plant capacity shall be determined by the Wastewater Division Manager or designee and shall be reported to the City Planning Division Manager on an annual basis as set out in Part 7 of this Chapter.
