5. Location and Maps. a. The county map is not needed for an AUAR. b. The USGS map should be included. c. Instead of a site plan, include: (1) a map clearly depicting the boundaries of the AUAR and any subdistricts used in the AUAR analysis; (2) land use and planning and zoning maps as required in conjunction with items 9 and 27; and (3) a cover type map as required for item 10. Additional maps may be included throughout the document wherever maps are useful for displaying relevant information. 6. Description. Instead of the information called for on the form, the description section of an AUAR should include the following elements for each maj or development scenario included: -anticipated types and intensity (density) of residential and commerciallware�ouselligh� industrialdevelopment throughout the AUAR area; infrastructureplanned to serve development (roads, sewers, water, stormwater system, etc.) Roadways intended primarily to serve as adj oining land uses within an AUAR area are normally expected to be reviewed as part of an AUAR. More "arterial" types of roadways that would cross an AUAR area are an optional inclusion in the AUAR analysis; if they are included, a more intensive level of review, generally including an analysis of alternative routes, is necessary; -information about the anticipated staging of various developments, to the extent known, and of the infrastructure, and how the infrastructure staging will influence the development schedule. Important Note: Every AUAR document MUST review one or more development scenarios based on and consistent with the RGU's Comprehensive Plan in effect when the AUAR is officially ordered. (This is equivalent to reviewing the "no-build" alternative in an EIS.) If an RGU expects to amend its existing Comprehensive Plan, it has the options of deferring the start of the AUAR until after adopting the amendedplan or reviewing developments based on both the existing and amended comprehensiveplans; however, it cannot review only a development based on an expected amendment to the existing plan. Also, the rules require that one or more development scenarios analyzed must be consistentwith known development plans of properiy owners within the AUAR area. 7. Project Magnitude Data. No changes from the EAW form, except that the information should be given for each major development scenario. 8. Permits and Approvals Required. Listing of major approvals (including any comprehensive plan amendments and zoning amendments) and public financial assistance and infrastructure likely to be required by the anticipated types of development projects should be given for each major development scenario. This list will help orient reviewers to framework that will protect environmental resources. The list can also serve as a starting point for the development of the implementation aspects of the mitigation plan to be developed as part of the AUAR. 9. Land Use. No changes from the EAW form. �
