13.040 Level of Service Standards

(Amended 02/14/17) The level of service (LOS) standards by which the adequate public facilities requirement shall be measured are as follows: A. Culinary Water System. Source, treatment, storage, transmission, distribution capacity and sizing, and looping to accommodate peak instantaneous flows with a minimum of 20 pounds per square inch (psi) pressure existing in the system at all points in order to comply with Utah Administrative Code R309-105-9. B. Secondary Water (Pressurized Irrigation). Source, storage, transmission, and distribution capacity and sizing to accommodate peak instantaneous flows with a minimum of 40 psi dynamic pressure. This requirement shall be subject to review by the Reviewing Departments, Planning Commission, and City Council to determine if it is reasonably attainable by the applicant based on the specific facts and circumstances posed by the proposed development. C. Sanitary Sewer System. The applicant shall submit information demonstrating that no surcharge would result in the lines servicing the proposed development by the increased flows anticipated to be generated by the proposed new development. D. Storm Drainage, including surface and subsurface, and flood control facilities. The applicant shall submit information demonstrating compliance with the design standards for storm drainage, including surface and subsurface, and flood control facilities as required by the Lehi City Design Standards and Public Improvement Specifications as amended. E. Power. Connection to Lehi City’s municipal power system is required for all new development. Sufficient source, transmission and distribution capacity, sizing, and redundancy is required. F. Transportation Facilities, including streets, roads, highways and intersections. The applicant shall submit information demonstrating that all existing roads adjacent to, or impacted by the proposed development are capable of accommodating the anticipated traffic loads generated by the proposed development for a 20-year design period. The City has adopted a Level of Service “C” for all city roads and streets. G. Parks and Related Recreational Facilities. The applicant shall submit information demonstrating that parks and related recreational facilities will be available at the adopted levels of service as determined by the inventory completed by the Lehi City. Section 13.050. Compliance with Adequate Public Facilities Required. If it is determined that adequate public facilities will not be available at the specified levels of service (LOS) within a reasonable period of time following the issuance of final development approval so as to assure that such services will be available at the time of occupancy of the new development being proposed, the Reviewing Departments, Planning Commission and City Council, in the exercise of their discretion, may: A. deny development approval; B. defer final development approval and the issuance of building permits until all necessary public facilities are adequate and available; C. require timing, sequencing, and phasing of the proposed development consistent with the available capacity of public facilities; or D. allow the applicant to voluntarily advance the costs necessary to provide those public facilities which are necessary to service the proposed development and meet the applicable level of service standards by entering into an appropriate form of agreement, which may include, as appropriate, provisions for credits or reimbursement of any expenses incurred above and beyond those reasonably necessary for or related to the need created by or benefit conferred upon the proposed development.
