The Infrastructure Element consists of policies related to sanitary sewer, solid waste,
drainage, potable water, and natural groundwater aquifer recharge. The element addresses
coordinating the extension of, or increase in the capacity of, facilities to meet
future needs while maximizing the use of existing facilities and discouraging urban
sprawl; conserving potable water resources; and protecting the functions of natural
groundwater recharge areas and natural drainage features. This section of the Support
Documentation contains the data and analyses required—including a description of problems
and needs and the general facilities that will be required for solution of the problems
and needs.
Planning Area Framework
In order to provide an analysis of the County's Future Land Use and Existing Land
Use Maps as well as the policies contained within the Comprehensive Plan, the County
has been divided into six separate and distinct planning areas (Reference
Map 2-1
of the Future Land Use Element Supporting Documentation).
These planning areas have been developed considering the availability of centralized
water and sewer services, particularly the franchise areas for the existing water
and sewer providers within the County. Along these lines, this planning area framework
is depicted on all of the maps included in this section for analysis purposes.
