Applicant, staff: proposed RPD avoids sewer-connection trigger; density and trip-generation calculations discussed
Aug 20, 2026
The applicant and county staff told the hearing the proposed configuration (with up to 30 duplex lots) keeps overall density at or below threshold levels so it does not trigger mandatory potable water and sanitary sewer hookups, and staff discussed how traffic comparisons were made to hypothetical higher-density scenarios.
The full story
The examiner questioned whether the proposed configuration would trigger the LE Plan’s potable water and sanitary sewer hookup policies. The applicant and staff said the project’s density would remain near 2.49 dwelling units per acre with the requested duplex-option configuration, which means the project would not automatically trigger a requirement to extend public water and sewer under current LE Plan thresholds.
