9.6.3.1. Methodology.
No determination as to compliance with this section shall be recommended by the County unless adequate public facilities and services are available at the adopted level of service set forth in
Table 3-1.
9.6.3.2. Level of Service Standards.
Compliance with LOS standards shall be measured for each public facility and service set forth in Column (A) of
Table 3-1 in accordance with the corresponding standards set forth in Column (B) of
Table 3-1.
9.6.3.3. Adequacy of Public Facilities.
Public facilities and services shall be adequate if it is demonstrated that they have available capacity at the adopted LOS to accommodate the demand generated by the proposed Oil or Gas Facility as well as committed pipeline Oil or Gas Facilities and other residential and nonresidential development approvals in accordance with the following calculation methodology:
(a) Calculate total capacity by adding together the total capacity of each public facility and service.
(b) Calculate available capacity by subtracting from the total capacity the sum of:
(1) The demand for each public facility and service created by existing oil and gas project;
(2) The demand for each public facility created by the anticipated completion of committed oil and gas project pipeline projects; and
(3) The demand for each public facility created by the anticipated completion of the proposed oil and gas project under consideration for determination.
9.6.3.4. Mitigation. The APFA shall consider mitigation measures for alleviating public facility and service inadequacy:
(a) Phasing, timing and sequencing the subsequent SUDP so that no SUDP development order is issued before roads, fire, police, emergency service or stormwater drainage facilities needed to achieve the LOS standard are constructed; and
(b) Measures that allow the road network to function more efficiently by adding sufficient capacity to the off-site road system. Such mitigation measures may include, but are not limited to, pavement widening, turn lanes, median islands, access controls, or traffic signalization. All private roads must meet the same standards as provided for public roads in the Santa Fe County Oil and Gas and Growth Management Elements. Private roads will only be permitted if the Applicant enters into a development agreement for which construction, operation, maintenance standards and financial terms will be provided in the development agreement.
9.6.3.5. Fire, Police, and Emergency Services.
Needed fire flow shall be determined in accordance with the Insurance Services Office, “Fire Suppression Rating Schedule” (June 1980 edition). In determining the effect and impact of the proposed development on fire, police, and emergency service LOS, the County shall primarily take into consideration response times, and the number and location of available apparatus and fire, police, and emergency service stations that are manned by full-time professional service personnel. Calculation of response time shall include the time it takes volunteer emergency personnel to get to the station.
9.6.3.6. Water.
(a) Oil and Gas Overlay Zoning District Classification applications shall be analyzed with respect to the availability of adequate potable water, and shall be determined pursuant to the following information obtained from the required Water Availability Assessment to determine:
(1) System capacity;
(2) Capacity of wellfield, or other source of raw water supply;
(3) Historical average flow of potable water;
(4) Historical peak flow of potable water;
(5) Number of hook-ups and the estimated potable water demand per hook-up; and
(6) Number of hook-ups for which contractual commitments have been made.
(b) The development order of the County shall provide findings based on substantial evidence that the project is within its service area and that it has the capacity to serve the project as proposed. If the ability of a provider to serve a proposed development is contingent upon planned facility expansion in accordance with a CIP, details regarding such planned improvements shall be submitted.
(c) The determinations in this Section shall be made a part of the Water Availability Assessment.
