Comprehensive Plan Intergovernmental Coordination Element <br />For transportation, the major impact from development projects is on county roadways, specifically the major roadways that connect various <br />jurisdictions. Upfront coordination is important to ensure that one jurisdiction does not increase traffic volumes in another jurisdiction to the <br />extent that the volume of traffic produces an unacceptable level of service and causes transportation concurrency problems. Consequently, it is <br />important that those governments affected by proposed projects and land use amendments in another jurisdiction be notified in advance of <br />pending land use decisions. As part of that process, the amount of traffic generated and its distribution/assignment must be identified. For that <br />reason, the county should work with municipalities and adjacent counties to develop a common methodology for measuring impacts on <br />transportation facilities for the purpose of implementing the county's concurrency management system in coordination with the municipalities <br />and adjacent counties. It is also important to develop measures to mitigate impacts and establish a process to resolve disputes. <br />In 2006, a new organization for establishing regional transportation project priorities and for resolving any disputes that may arise from <br />prioritization was created. That organization, known as the Treasure Coast Transportation Council (TCTC), is composed of elected officials <br />from the three treasure coast MPOs. It meets twice a year to develop regional transportation plans and to prioritize regional transportation <br />funding. In the future, the county, through the MPO, should continue to participate in the TCTC. <br />With respect to other state and federal agencies, the most important issue is funding availability for transportation improvements. Through their <br />funding decisions, these agencies can affect the county's transportation system. These transportation funding issues are addressed in the <br />Transportation Element of the comprehensive plan. In the future, the county should implement its transportation policies and coordinate with <br />other state and federal agencies as appropriate. <br />• Housing Element <br />APPLICABLE ENTITIES <br />MAY BE <br />IMPACTED <br />BY IRC <br />MAY <br />IMPACT <br />IRC <br />SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES <br />ACTIVITIES <br />PROCEDURAL ISSUES <br />EXISTING COORDINATION <br />MECHANISM <br />MUNICIPALITIES <br />X <br />X <br />-PROVISION OF AFFORDABLE <br />- PROVIDING AFFORDABLE <br />- PROVISION OF AFFORDABLE <br />- LIMITED INFORMAL <br />HOUSING <br />HOUSING UNITS <br />HOUSING IN EACH <br />COORDINATION <br />JURISDICTION <br />- PROVIDING LOANS TO VERY <br />LOW, LOW, AND MODERATE <br />- CONTRIBUTION TO COUNTY'S <br />INCOME HOUSEHOLDS <br />HOUSING TRUST FUND <br />ADJACENT COUNTIES <br />K <br />X <br />- PROVISION OF AFFORDABLE <br />- PROVIDING AFFORDABLE <br />- INTERCOUNTY AFFORDABLE <br />FORMAL COORDINATION WITH <br />HOUSING UNITS <br />HOUSING DEMAND AND <br />ST.
