(1) For each school district, fire district, community planning area, incorporated municipality, and other designated geographical boundary, the number of projects, lots, and residential units subject to this chapter and the number of projects, lots, and residential units not subject to this chapter;
(2) For each school district, community planning area, and other designated geographical boundary, a calculation of the ATC, for both residential and commercial/industrial land uses, for the facilities and services covered by this chapter, including the additional capacity of future public facilities in the CIP for which funds may be committed within the next six years; and
(3) The current population and projected population growth.
(B) The Department shall prepare an annual concurrency management report for use by the Commission and the county in reviewing the CIP and in administering this chapter.

(3) An examination of growth trends and projections in the county, including building permits issued during the preceding six fiscal years;
(4) Facility capacity information for each public facility and service listed in this chapter, including projections of capacity for each of the six years in the CIP;
(5) For each school, functional capacity, state-rated capacity, and any other relevant information;
(6) Student population projections by the Carroll County Board of Education and by the county;
(7) An evaluation of fire and emergency medical services with respect to late and no responses, response time, and adequacy of roads and bridges for each volunteer fire department;
(8) For each threshold adopted by the county, a calculation of remaining capacity;
(9) An inventory of timing of relief facilities in the CIP to mitigate current and future inadequacies and a staff recommendation for future capital improvements and building permit caps to achieve concurrency;
(10) A cumulative total of all approvals and denials under this chapter, including a list of projects placed in a queue for an inadequate or approaching inadequate facility or service;
(11) Proposed changes to the boundaries of impact areas for any public facility;
(12) Proposed changes to existing or adopted threshold standards;
(13) Proposed changes in concurrency analysis methodologies; and
