Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element Overall, the county will have enough revenue to cover costs associated with the five year capital improvements program. The total estimated cost of all projects contained within the County's Capital Improvements project list is $305,824,490 for the next five fiscal years. This is 19.44% of the overall general fund revenues for the same time period. Concurrency 1VMana2ement Plan To ensure that level -of -service standards are maintained, it is necessary to have a system in place which provides the criteria for measuring facility capacity, assessing development demand on applicable facilities, and monitoring service levels for applicable facilities. This system will set the parameters for issuing development orders consistent with level -of -service standards. While this concurrency management plan sets policies and establishes a process, the specific application of this system is through the county's land development regulations. As per state requirements, these regulations define the details of the concurrency management system and establish its administrative requirements. The major purpose of the concurrency management system is to detail the specifics of implementing the county's level -of -service standards. For that reason, the concurrency management system must apply to all development activity in the county. The system must then identify the applicable standards for each facility, the geographic scope of each facility, and the method of monitoring facility capacity changes. Most importantly, this system must specify when facilities are considered available. Project Applicability All development orders issued by the county must comply with the concurrency management plan and meet level -of -service standards. Development orders are county approvals for construction and/or land development activity. Specifically, development orders consist of the following: comprehensive plan amendments, rezonings, site plan approvals, preliminary plat approvals, development of regional impact (DRI) approvals, planned development preliminary approvals, and building permit approvals for single-family homes located in subdivisions which were approved after February 13, 1990, the original adoption date of the county's comprehensive plan. According to Section 163.3180(6), F.S., the impact from the construction of a single family home on an existing lot may constitute a de minimus impact on public facilities. State law allows such de minimus projects to be exempt from the concurrency requirement. Indian River County shall apply the single family de minimus allowance to single family building permits in subdivisions platted before February 13, 1990. Currently, all county maintained roads are operating below the adopted level of service and have additional capacity to accommodate future growth.
