t. 1 Planning staff understands that as programs are changed or modified there is an impact on the needs for space and their proximity to existing development on a given parcel of property. That being said any proposed modification to the location and/or size of structures on the property will require a site plan modification processed through the Orange County Planning Department in accordance with the provisions of the Ordinance. Staff recommends that the University complete a new site plan application form (please see attached) and submit a revised site plan, for review and approval by staff, showing the revised building locations and their size. Once this revised site plan is reviewed and approved the University can begin development activities consistent with the requirements of the Ordinance. Please note that staff will require certification that existing septic systems can support the proposed new facilities prior to. any approval issued by this Department. It should be noted that Section 6.20 of the Ordinance prohibits the location of `ground absorption systems with a design capacity of 3, 000 .gallons per day or more and package treatment plants for sanitary sewage disposal' without the submittal, review, and issuance of a Class A Special Use Permit in accordance with the provisions of Article Eight (8) or a the submittal, review, and issuance of a Planned Development (PD) rezoning and Class A Special Use Permit in accordance with Article Seven (7) of the Ordinance. As of the writing of this letter, staff has not been provided any documentation from the University relating to the design capacity of the current sanitary disposal system operating on the property. With the submittal of the revised site plan, as discussed herein, we will be requiring more detail on the existing sanitary sewage disposal system currently permitted to operate on the property, specifically focusing on its design capacity. If the system exceeds established limitations, as referenced herein, fiuther permit review will be required before additional land disturbing activities are authorized. Further, while we realize that the septic facility on the property is reviewed, permitted, and inspected by the State, as are all of the buildings constructed on site, we request that our local Health Department and Building Inspections -division, if necessary, be involved to the greatest extent possible with the review, permitting, and inspection of development proposals for the property in an effort to provide comment on proposed development activities as well as to offer guidance on addressing various developmental issues. In terms of coordinating future zoning inspections to ensure compliance with approved site plan(s), the Department requests that University staff provide notice when development activities are initiated so necessary zoning compliance inspections can be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Ordinance. As the facility is gated and access restricted, staff will need your assistance to ensure that we are able to verify the conforming status of all development projects consistent with all approved site plans. _62_
