                                       CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

 

 

SECTION 1:  PURPOSE AND INTENT

 

Concurrency is a finding that the public facilities and services necessary to support a proposed development are available, or will be made available, concurrent with the impacts of the development.  The provisions of this chapter are designed to provide a systematic process for the review and evaluation of all proposed development for its impact on basic public facilities and services, as required by the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulations Act, Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes, and Rule 9J-5.0055, Florida Administrative Code, and the Town of Lady Lake Comprehensive Plan.

 

No final development order shall be granted for a proposed development until there is a finding that all public facilities and services included in this chapter have sufficient capacity at or above their adopted level of service (LOS) to accommodate the impacts of the development, or that improvements necessary to bring facilities up to their adopted LOS will be in place concurrent with the impacts of the development, as defined herein.

 

 

SECTION 2:  GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

a)         Public Facilities and Services For Which Concurrency is Required

 

            The provisions and requirements of this chapter shall apply only to those public facilities and services listed below:

 

            1) Roads/Traffic Circulation.

 

            2) Sanitary Sewer.

 

            3) Solid Waste.

 

            4) Stormwater Drainage.

 

            5) Potable Water.

 

            6) Recreation Facilities.

 

 

b)         Development Subject to Concurrency Review

 

            Unless specifically exempted below, all applications for Site Development Plan  or subdivision Improvement Plan approval where the individual lots within the subdivision do not require Site Development Plan  approval, shall be subject to concurrency review.

 

            1)         Vested Projects.  Projects which have valid development orders or permits prior to the adoption date of this Code are considered vested and shall be exempt from concurrency assessment.  This shall include all vacant single family, duplex, and single family attached dwelling lots in subdivisions which were platted and recorded prior to the adoption date of this Code.  Residential lots of record shall also be considered vested for the purpose of this chapter. Vested projects must initiate development within the established time frames outlined below:

 

                                    Site plans                                 12 months

                                    Building permits                       12 months

                                    Preliminary plats                       24 months

                                    Improvement plans                   24 months

                                    Final Plat                                  24 months

 

            2)         Minimum Threshold. The following development shall be exempt from the transportation and other applicable components of concurrency review:

 

                        A)        Residential projects which would result in the creation of one (1) additional single family homesite.

 

                        B)        Commercial, institutional or industrial expansion of up to ten percent (10%) of the existing gross floor area, providing such expansion is estimated to generate less than one hundred (100) vehicle trips per day.

 

                        C)        Construction of accessory buildings and structures which do not create additional public facility demand.

 

                        In no case, however, shall a development order be issued for a minimum threshold project which would impact a public facility (water, sewer, solid waste) for which a moratorium or deferral on development has been placed.

 

            3)         Public Facilities.  Public facilities necessary to ensure the protection of the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of Lady Lake, including public schools (pre-kindergarten through 12th grade), shall be exempt from concurrency review.  This shall include all public facility construction projects included in the Capital Improvements Program required to meet any adopted level of service standard.

 

c)         Minimum Requirements for Concurrency

 

            To ensure that public facilities and services necessary to support development are available concurrent with the impacts of said development, the following standards must be met:

 

            1)         The necessary facilities and services are in place at the time a development permit is issued, or a development permit is issued subject to the condition that the necessary facilities and services will be in place by a specified date when the impacts of the development are anticipated to occur.

 

            2)         The necessary facilities are under construction at the time a development permit is issued.

 

            3)         The necessary facilities and services have been included in the Capital Improvements Program and are programmed for construction prior to or concurrent with the impacts of the proposed development.

 

            4)         The necessary facilities and services are the subject of a binding executed contract for the construction of the facilities or the provision of services at the time the development permit issued. 

 

            5)         The necessary facilities and services are guaranteed in an enforceable development agreement.  An enforceable development agreement may include, but is not limited to, development agreements pursuant to Section 163.3220, Florida Statutes, or as amended, or an agreement of development order issued pursuant to Chapter 380, Florida Statutes, or as amended, or any other development agreement entered into between the Town and a developer.  The agreement must guarantee that the necessary facilities and services will be in place prior to or concurrent with the impacts of development.

 

            6)         In the case of recreation facilities, the facilities will be deemed concurrent if the facilities will be in place within one (1) year of the issuance of the development order and are included in a binding executed contract pursuant to the paragraph above or an enforceable development agreement pursuant to the paragraph above.  In the case of roadway facilities, the facilities will be deemed concurrent if the necessary improvements are committed in the first three (3) years of the applicable adopted Florida Department of Transportation Five Year Work Program, the Lake County Five Year Road Capital Improvement Program or the Town of Lady Lake Five Year Capital Improvement Program.

 

d)         Concurrency Administration

 

            The Town shall be responsible for the following four primary tasks associated with the administration of this chapter:

 

            1)         Creating and maintaining an inventory of existing public facilities capacities or deficiencies.

 

            2)         Determining concurrency of minor development applications.

 

            3)         Providing advisory concurrency assessments and recommending conditions of approval to the Town Commission for major development applications.

 

            4)         Annually reporting the status of all public facilities capacities covered under this chapter to the Town Commission and the public.

 

 

SECTION 3:  ADOPTED LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS

 

The adopted level of service standards for those public facilities for which concurrency is required shall be as established in the Town's Comprehensive Plan and as follows:

 

a)         Roads/Traffic Circulation

 

            Functional Classification                                    Level of Service

 

            Principal Arterial                                                           C

            Minor Collector                                                            D

            Local                                                                            D        

 

b)         Sanitary Sewer (Town of Lady Lake municipal system)

 

            One hundred (100) gallons per day, per resident.*

 

c)         Solid Waste

 

            Three and thirty-nine one hundredths (3.39) pounds per capita, per day.* 

 

 

d)         Stormwater Drainage

 

            Compliance with Chapter 40C-42 and Chapter 40C-4, F.A.C. and Chapter 17-25, F.A.C.

            One hundred (100) gallons per day, per resident for residential land uses.*

            Eight hundred fifty (850) gallons per commercial acre for commercial land uses.*

 

     *     Adjustments to these estimates may be made based on special information supplied by the applicant.

 

f)          Recreation Facilities

 

            One and five-tenths (1.5) acres per one thousand (1,000) residents.

 

 

SECTION 4:  FACILITY SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

 

a)         Roads/Traffic Circulation

 

            1)         Traffic Analysis Required   All new development which is anticipated to generate two hundred fifty (250) or more trips during the peak hour of the use shall be required to submit a traffic analysis which identifies the development's impact on the Town's transportation system.  Lake County will provide a traffic analysis upon request of Town of Lady Lake if County or State roads are affected.  The Town may also require the submission of a traffic analysis for developments whose site location, anticipated total trip generation, circulation patterns or other such factors warrant a more extensive review of traffic impacts.  Such an analysis shall include the following:

 

                        A)        Total projected average daily trip ends for the proposed development.*

 

                        B)        Average projected peak-hour trip ends generated by the development.*

 

                        C)        Design capacity of the accessed road(s).

 

                        D)        Analysis of traffic distribution on the road network including all links impacted by more than ten percent (10%) of project traffic or two hundred fifty (250) trips per day, whichever is greater.**

 

                        E)         Projected percentage of truck and automobile traffic.

 

                        F)         Necessary operational improvements to the Town's transportation system in order to maintain the appropriate level of service for the roadway.

 

                        G)        Other related information as required by the Town.

 

                             *     The Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual shall be used to calculate these estimates.  Adjustments to these estimates may be made, based on special trip generation information supplied by the applicant.

 

                            **    The analysis of traffic distribution shall use the variable radii approach for traffic analysis, as outlined in this section.  Where appropriate, the study area radii may be expanded to include a nearby intersection, or otherwise modified to provide for a more accurate assessment of specific projects, including Developments of Regional Impact (DRIs).
