State of Monterey County Report 1998
3.3
Development--Approved and Pending
Projects
The project list (Tables 5 and 6) includes two major categories of projects over 25 dwelling units or 40,000 square feet: (1) projects that have been approved and are unconstructed, and (2) projects with applications filed and legal lots of record where this information is available (pending projects). It includes development at California State University of Monterey Bay (CSUMB) through 2005, since the facility is a project planned and developed by the University alone, without the need for local jurisdiction approval. It excludes buildout of general plans and the reuse of Fort Ord, since these are long term blueprints for growth and development with full implementation occurring over an indefinite period of time, unlike the projects described in this report.
In the Approved/Unconstructed category, local jurisdictions have approved 7,520 dwelling units and 685 hotel/motel rooms. These uses will add 73,934 daily vehicle trips to our roads and highways. (Since residential trips account for working, shopping, and other trips, commercial/industrial trips have been excluded in order to avoid double counting; therefore, future trips are underestimated.) Construction at CSUMB through 2005 will add another 15,650 daily trips. Approved but unconstructed commercial/industrial projects total 1,450,210 square feet. These projects would require 124 acre feet per year from California American Water Company (Cal-Am) and 743 acre feet from water supplies other than the Salinas Valley Ground Water Basin or Cal-Am. CSUMB will require 850 acre feet per year from the Salinas Ground Water Basin by 2005. Water demand was not quantified for projects in the Salinas Valley where project demand would represent a decline over agricultural uses.
In the pending projects category, there are 7,880 dwelling units and 460 hotel/motel rooms in the planning process. These would add 77,437 daily trips to roads and highways. Pending commercial/ industrial projects total 3,607,072 square feet. These projects would require 1,388 acre feet per year from Cal-Am and 74 acre feet from water sources other than the Salinas Valley Ground Water Basin or Cal-Am.
Combining projects in both categories adds up to 15,400 dwelling units, 1,145 hotel/motel rooms, facilities for 6,800 CSUMB students, about 5 million square feet of commercial/ industrial uses for a total of 167,021 new trips, a 16% increase over 1997 levels. They would require 1,500 acre feet per year from Cal-Am and about 700 acre feet per year from other water sources. Aside from 850 acre feet per year for CSUMB, most of the projects requiring water from the Salinas Valley Ground Water Basin would consume less water than the agricultural uses they are replacing; however, once water is committed to urban growth, a long-term entitlement is created, and dry-year demand is increased.
