Director Keating explained the Proportionate Fair Share concept, which he described as “really simple”. If there is a development project that affects a deficient link, that project cannot go forward. Proportionate fair share allows that project to go forward if an applicant pays his fair share of an improvement project that will correct the deficiency. He also explained that Indian River County Ordinance is consistent with SB 360, it includes all the mandatory provisions of SB 360, but it does not include some of the optional provisions of SB 360. Further, it is based on the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) model ordinance and structured as part of Chapter 910 of the Land Development Regulations (LDRs). He also discussed concurrency vesting, impact fee credit and credit formula, and presented proportionate share examples. He concluded, stating that the County has proportionate share in place and we are getting a good premium for those applicants that entered into a proportionate share agreement. He also provided a link to the website hosting the County’s Proportionate Share Ordinance. (www.irccdd.com/Planning_Division/Concurrency_Management.htm). John Denninghoff of Brevard County stated that Brevard has a draft version of the Ordinance. He remarked that one aspect of the proportionate share can only happen if there is a good budget, and the other aspect is that most of the proportionate share is going to be impact fee credit eligible. Also, for projects that are not fully funded, proportionate share payment is not an option. The project or improvement has to be approved, funded and ready to be built within the 3-year time period or they do not have the option to pay their money then build the project, he declared. Brevard’s County Attorney John Scott responded to a question from Commissioner Voltz as to where would that leave them legally as far as someone trying to build on their property.
