Prior to the issuance of any development permit, the applicant shall demonstrate that all necessary public facilities and services are or will be available and adequate, as measured by the level of service standard herein:

e. The county manager determines that there are significant overriding public policy considerations or public health, safety and welfare concerns which warrant the approval of the application in the absence of evidence that all public facilities and services are adequate and available.
3. Adequacy Of Public Facilities: The available capacity for public facilities and services shall be determined in accordance with the following calculation methodology:
a. Adding together the total capacity of existing and planned capital improvements for a public facility;

(1) The demand for each public facility created by existing development; and
(2) The demand for each public facility created by the anticipated completion of committed development; and
(3) The demand for each public facility created by the anticipated completion of the proposed development under consideration for concurrency determination. (Ord. 708, 12-10-2008)
