Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element Concurrencv ManaLyement Plan To ensure that level -of -service standards are maintained, it is necessary to have a system in place that provides the criteria for measuring facility capacity, assessing development demand on applicable facilities, and monitoring service levels for applicable facilities. That 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, those 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 and identified below 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 multi --family projects. Within Indian River County, the impact from the construction of a single family home on an existing subdivision platted lot or legally created single-family parcel will constitute a de minimus impact on public facilities and thus be exempt from the concurrency requirement. Concurrency traffic impacts for single-family homes will be accounted for through tracking single' -family trips and an annual traffic count update of the County's Concurrency Management System. Single family trips tracked through this accounting system will be considered in development project traffic studies. 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. Those 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. Community Development Department Indian River County Adopted December 1" 2020, Ordinance 2020-018 39
