If that capacity is not available, the project cannot be approved. The principal function of the concurrency management system then is to provide a mechanism whereby demand and capacity measures can be compared on a project by project basis. Table 6.16 provides the criteria for establishing a demand to capacity comparison for a proposed project. While most of the characteristics are self-explanatory, one needs clarification; this is the geographic scope for the traffic public facility category. For concurrency purposes, affected roadways will be those roadways impacted by a project's traffic. All projects, regardless of size, impact the roadway on which the project fronts. In addition, other roadways further removed from the project are impacted. For concurrency purposes, roadways that gain 5% or more of the project's traffic or 50 or more of the project's generated trips, whichever is less are included. Level -of -service standards for concurrency related facilities are to apply to all requests for development orders and permits. Level - of -service standards are measurements based on peak -hour trips and based on volume ranges or average travel speed for the peak hour. Demand Demand is an important component of the concurrency management system. Essentially, demand is a measure of facility use. When compared to facility capacity, demand can indicate the level -of -service for the facility. Community Development Department Indian River County 43
