Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element construction on single-family unplatted lots and acreage. Since this type of construction will impact facilities, the demand anticipated from this type of activity must be considered in facility expansion plans. For this reason, it is necessary to maintain an accurate inventory of unbuilt, platted lots and consider the impacts of construction on these lots. The second type of projected demand is new project demand. For each new project, demand estimates must be made on a facility by facility basis. Only if sufficient available capacity exists for each facility to be impacted can the project be approved and a development order issued. Upon issuance of a development order, the estimated impacts on each facility would be considered as committed demand. Availability of Capacity Facility capacity can be assessed two different ways. First, facility capacity can be determined by facilities that are existing and available; examples would be existing treatment plants and existing roadways with a set number of lanes. The second manner for assessing facility capacity is to consider both existing, in -the -ground facilities as well as facility expansions or new facilities which are programmed but not yet existing. According to Chapter 9J-5.0055(3), Minimum Requirements For Concurrency, Florida Administrative Code, the capacity of existing, in -the -ground facilities will be considered in all cases. Programmed facilities will be considered in assessing capacity for each public facility category when the following conditions are met: ➢ For sanitary sewer, potable water, solid waste and drainage facilities: 1. A development order or permit is issued subject to the condition that, at the time of the issuance of a certificate of occupancy or its functional equivalent, the necessary facilities and services are in place and available to serve the new development; or 2. At the time the development order or permit is issued, the necessary facilities and services are guaranteed in an enforceable development agreement, pursuant to Section 163.3220, F.S., or an agreement or development order issued pursuant to Chapter 380, F.S., to be in place and available to serve new development at the time of the issuance of a certificate of occupancy or its functional equivalent. [Section 163.3180(2)(a), F.S.] For parks and recreation facilities: 1. At the time the development order or permit is issued, the necessary facilities and services are in place or under actual construction; or Community Development Department Indian River County Supplement #_; Ordinance 2005- 44
