Measurement of capacities and levels of service.
Coral Springs Land Development Code § 250193
in effectSec. 250193. - Measurement of capacities and levels of service.
The following level of service standards shall be used as the basis for determining the availability of service or facility capacities and the demand generated by a development;
(1) Transportation system. The standard for measuring transportation capacities is the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Table of Generalized Daily Level of Service Maximum Volumes as amended from time to time, excepting the measurement of capacity for local neighborhood roadways as defined by the city's comprehensive plan. The measurement of capacities may also be determined by a traffic study. This traffic study must be prepared in a technically sound and justifiable method that is accepted by the city.
Type of Facility | Peak Hour Level of Service
Arterial roadways | D
Collector roadways | D
Local collector roadways | D
Local neighborhood roadways | C
(2) Mass transit. Broward County is the provider of mass transit service for the city. The city has accepted Broward County's level of service standards where provided by the county:
Service within one-half (½) mile
Thirty (30) minutes headways
System-wide operating hours (6:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. weekdays)
(3) Water and wastewater. The measurement of adequate capacity for water and wastewater facilities will utilize design capacities and service flows. Design capacities will be based upon adopted level of service standards.
Land Use | Water and Wastewater Level of Service Standard
Residential
Estate | 350 gpd/du
Moderate | 300 gpd/du
Medium | 250 gpd/du
High | 165 gpd/du
Nonresidential
Commercial | 2000 gpd/ac
Industrial | 2000 gpd/ac
Community facilities | 2000 gpd/ac
(4) Solid waste. The measurement of adequate capacity for solid waste shall be based upon the solid waste generation rates and the design capacity of the solid waste disposal system.
Land Use | Level of Service Standard
Residential | 8.9 lbs/unit/day
Factory/warehouse | 2 lbs/100 sq. ft./day
Office building | 1 lb/100 sq. ft./day
Department store | 4 lbs/100 sq. ft./day
Supermarket | 9 lbs/100 sq. ft./day
Restaurant | 2 lbs/meal/day
Drug store | 5 lbs/100 sq. ft./day
School
Grade school | 10 lbs/room & ¼ lbs/pupil/day
High school | 8 lbs/room & ¼ lbs/pupil/day
Institution
Hospital | 8 lbs/bed/day
Nurse or interim home | 3 lbs/person/day
Home for aged | 3 lb/person/day
Rest home | 3 lbs/person/day
(5) Drainage. The measurement of adequate capacity for drainage will be based on the water management district basin design standards. Variations may exist for certain parcels but the overall effect of drainage system must meet established water management standards.
Facility/Service Area | Level of Service Standard
Drainage facilities | Design storm
Primary drainage system-25 year-3 day storm event. Cumulative rainfall total of 17.0 inches.
Secondary drainage system-3 year storm event with varying time of concentration duration. Cumulative rainfall derived from FDOT rainfall intensity-duration-frequency curves for zone 10, as provided in the comprehensive plan.
House pads-first floor building elevation at, or above, the 100 year flood stage; and
Roadways-roadways and parking lot elevations at, or above, the 10 year flood stage.
(6) Recreation. Measurement of adequate capacity for park and recreation facilities shall be based on the net acreage of land that qualifies as the public park and recreation land in the city's comprehensive plan.
Land use | Level of Service Standard
Residential | 4 acres of public park/1000 population
For the purpose of this section, parks are considered developed when there are parks which serve the population of the neighborhood and which are generally accessible by bicycle or pedestrian ways. The parks should be designated to provide opportunities for residents in the area to partake in recreational activities and may include, but not be limited to, facilities such as tennis courts, basketball courts, picnic areas, bike paths, shuffleboard courts, nature study areas, jog/walk trails, fishing docks, racquetball courts, open play areas, ballfields, and tot lots. Lighting may be included at the park. Additionally, environmentally sensitive lands owned by the city with approved resource management plans may be considered developed.
