Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element <br />Project Applicability <br />All development orders issued by the county must comply with the concurrency management plan and <br />meet level -of -service standards. Development orders are county approvals for construction and/or <br />land development activity. Specifically, development orders consist of the following: comprehensive <br />plan amendments, rezonings, site plan approvals, preliminary plat approvals, development of regional <br />impact (DRI) approvals, planned development preliminary approvals, and building permit approvals <br />for single-family homes located in subdivisions which were approved after February 13, 1990, the <br />original adoption date of the county's comprehensive plan. <br />According to Section 163.3180(6), F.S., the impact from the construction of a single family home on <br />an existing lot may constitute a de minimus impact on public facilities. State law allows such de <br />minimus projects to be exempt from the concurrency requirement. Prior to 2005, however, Indian <br />River County allowed single-family subdivision projects to postpone final concurrency determinations <br />until building permit applications for individual lots. For that reason, the County could not use the de <br />minimus allowance in the past. With the County now requiring final concurrency at the project <br />approval phase, Indian River County shall apply the single family de minimus allowance to single <br />family building permits in subdivisions platted before February 13, 1990, <br />Service Standards <br />Level -of -service standards for concurrency related facilities are established in this plan for the <br />following facilities: sanitary sewer, potable water, solid waste, stormwater management, recreation, <br />public schools, and transportation. These are explained in detail in the applicable comprehensive plan <br />elements. <br />For each facility, level -of -service is a measure of the relationship between demand for the service and <br />the capacity of the facility. Capacity, however, is measured differently for each type of facility. Table <br />6.17 identifies both the capacity and demand measures for each public facility. These measures are <br />addressed in detail, and existing capacities are identified in the applicable Comprehensive Plan <br />Elements. <br />Community Development Department Indian River County <br />42 <br />
