ATTACHMENT "A" (D) The person preparing the groundwater availability certification shall utilize the estimated annual average recharge rates (developed under §715.3.06.C) to determine the total estimated annual recharge for the footprint area of the Subject Property. The estimated annual recharge for the Subj ect property shall be compared to the projected annual groundwater withdrawal, to assess whether the projected withdrawal exceeds the estimated recharge. For developments where the projected withdrawal exceeds estimated recharge, the Applicant shall take one or more of the following steps: (3) Comply with the minimum lot size requirement of 6.00 acres, as presented in Table 705.05.01; (4) Provide a supplemental demonstration of water availability based on an Other Water Supply System and prorate the minimum lot size requirement using 6.00 acres for the percentage provided by Local Groundwater and the otherwise applicable value from Table 705.05.01 for the Other Water Supply System; or, (5) Subject to the requirements of §715.3.06(F), secure the future development rights for currently undeveloped property in a quantity sufficient to balance the groundwater withdrawal for the Subject Property with overall recharge from the Subject Property and other property, and provide Written Notice, as outlined in Chapter 701, to the owners of all proximate property for which a groundwater well is documented or discovered during the walking receptor survey and the owners of any other documented well within one - quarter mile of the Subject Property, that the projected groundwater use for the proposed development is being offset through the acquisition of additional property. The Department shall make available to the public standardized notice language for this purpose. (E) For developments where the availability of groundwater is limited to less than the flow required to support fully developed conditions, the Applicant shall include in the Water and Wastewater Service Plan the procedures to be utilized to limit groundwater withdrawal to the certified available quantity. (F) Property outside the Subject Property that is used for the purpose of balancing the groundwater withdrawal for the Subject Property shall comply with the following conditions: (6) Eligible additional property must recharge to the same aquifer zone as the Subject Property and be within the same PGMA. (7) All such additional property shall be subject to a conservation easement or equivalent legal mechanism structured to prohibit in perpetuity its future subdivision or development. The easement or instrument shall be granted to the public and shall be held by the County or other non - profit legal entity recognized by the County as custodian for the County. Such easement or instrument shall be in such form and under such conditions as are acceptable to the County. (8) For properties located within the jurisdiction of public entities having zoning authority, the Applicant shall provide documentation that the zoning for the additional property is "agricultural ", "open space" or other equivalent zoning that allows little to no development of the additional property.
