Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element 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 applies the single family de minimus allowance to single family building permits in subdivisions platted before February 13, 1990. Service Standards Level -of -service standards for concurrency related facilities are established in this plan for the following facilities: sanitary sewer, potable water, solid waste, stormwater management, recreation, public schools, and transportation. These are explained in detail in the applicable comprehensive plan elements. For each facility, level -of -service is a measure of the relationship between demand for the service and the capacity of the facility. Capacity, however, is measured differently for each type of facility. Table 6.18 identifies both the capacity and demand measures for each public facility. These measures are addressed in detail, and existing capacities are identified in the applicable Comprehensive Plan Elements.
