Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element ➢ Transportation supply (capacity). Transportation supply shall be determined on a segment by segment basis. For concurrency purposes, all segments on the county's thoroughfare plan shall be considered. Capacity for segments will be based either on FDOT's generalized capacity tables or individual segment capacity studies approved by the public works director pursuant to the criteria specified in Chapter 952, Traffic. Transportation supply for each segment is: 1. The segment's existing peak hour, peak season, peak direction capacity; or 2. The segment's new roadway capacity if facility expansion for the segment is proposed and if: a. At the time a development order or permit is issued, the necessary facilities and services are in place or under construction; or b. A development order or permit is issued subject to a condition that the facility expansion needed to serve the new development is included in the county's adopted five-year schedule of capital improvements and is scheduled to be in place or under actual construction not more than three years after issuance of the project's first building permit or its functional equivalent. The schedule of capital improvements may recognize and include transportation projects included in the first three years of the adopted Florida Department of Transportation five year work program. In order to apply this provision to a facility expansion project, the Capital Improvements Element must include the following policies: i. The estimated date of commencement of actual construction and the estimated date of project completion (for Indian River County, this is included in policy 5.11 of this element and within Appendix B of this element). ii. A provision that a plan amendment is required to eliminate, defer, or delay construction of any road or mass transit facility or service which is needed to maintain the adopted level of service standard and which is listed in the five-year schedule of capital improvements (for Indian River County, this is included in Policy 1.2 of this Element); or 3. At the time a development order or permit is issued, the facility is the subject of a binding executed agreement which requires the facility to be in place or under actual construction no more than three years after the issuance of the project's first building permit or its functional equivalent; or Community Development Department Indian River County 47
