(1)

Minimum design flow:

a.

Residential; 150 gpcd.

b.

Retail, service, 150 gpcd.

(2)

Water shall be delivered to users at a pressure no less than 20 pounds per square inch (psi) and no greater than 100 psi.

(b)

Wastewater. New development shall not be approved unless there is sufficient available capacity to sustain the following levels of service for wastewater treatment as established in the sanitary sewer subelement of the comprehensive plan:

Type of service	Peak flow

(1)

Peak hour level of service:

a.

Arterials, "D."

b.

Collectors, "D."

(2)

The impact of proposed development activity on available capacity shall be determined as follows:

a.

The area of impact of the development (a traffic shed) shall be determined. The traffic shed shall be that area where the primary impact of traffic to and from the site occurs. The city has designed planning districts (north, central, south) for determining impacts and planning capital improvements; such districts or planning sectors shall be used. If the application is for a building permit for a single-family or duplex development, the impact shall be presumed to be limited to the collector or arterial serving the local street giving access to the lot, or to the collector or arterial giving direct access to the lot.

b.

The projected level of service for arterials and collectors within the traffic shed shall be calculated based upon estimated trips to be generated by the project, or where applicable, the first phase of the project, and taking into consideration the impact of other approved but not completed developments within the traffic shed. Information on committed development within the traffic shed shall be provided by the city.

(d)

Drainage. New development shall not be approved unless there is sufficient available capacity to sustain the following levels of service for the drainage system as established in the drainage subelement of the comprehensive plan:

(1)

On-site retention of the first inch of stormwater runoff.

(2)

Protection from the degree of flooding that would result during a five-year return frequency of 24 hours' duration.

(e)

Solid waste. New development shall not be approved unless there is sufficient available capacity to sustain the following level of service for solid waste as established in the solid waste subelement of the comprehensive plan: Collection services to be provided in all areas of the city shall be based on population and shall be sufficient to maintain a level of service of seven pounds per person per day.

(f)

Open space and recreation. New development shall not be approved unless there is sufficient available capacity to sustain the following levels of service for the recreational facilities as established in the open space and recreation element of the comprehensive plan: Recreational open space shall be provided at the minimum rate of 2.75 acres of parks per 1,000 permanent resident population.
