Per County Planning Bulletin No. 7-2019:
- Currently, the first nine months of 2019 data shows that Police Districts V and VII have priority/emergency times that exceed the 10-minute emergency benchmark in every month.
- Eight months in District V and five months in District VII have exceeded the 10-minute benchmark by more than 20 percent.
- . . . "if the actual response times for emergency calls and/or non-emergency calls are greater than 20 percent above the required emergency response time, the applicant may not mitigate. The police district will be in a subdivision moratorium for residential development" and
- . . . “The Planning Board may not approve a preliminary plan of subdivision if it finds that adequate public facilities do not exist or are not programmed for the area within which the proposed subdivision is located.”
