15. South County Initiative (SCI): At the May 4, 2004 BCC meeting, Planning staff presented the SCI, <br />which consisted of a total of seven development projects located in the south County area, including <br />the subject project site (Tripson Trail). The BCC expressed support for the SCI, and the associated <br />planning principals, as follows: <br />• Mixing building types and uses; <br />• Clustering development in compact areas; <br />• Providing pedestrian connections between uses and projects; <br />• Establishing a grid or modified grid street network; <br />• Siting school and community park areas; <br />• Siting a neighborhood commercial site within the SCI area. <br />Based on the project's previous conceptual PD plan and special exception approval, the project is <br />required to participate in the SCI, and those participation requirements are included in staff's <br />recommendation. <br />16. Concurrency: As required under the County's concurrency regulations, the applicant has applied for <br />and obtained a conditional concurrency certificate for the project, which is sufficient for preliminary <br />PD plan/plat approval. The concurrency certificate was issued based upon a concurrency analysis and a <br />determination that adequate capacity was available to serve the subject project at the time of the <br />determination. The applicant will, in accordance with County concurrency regulations, be required to <br />obtain a final concurrency approval prior to issuance of a building permit for each residential unit. <br />It should be noted that the previous applicant pre -paid the project's required traffic impact fees, and <br />obtained a 5 -year concurrency certificate. That 5 -year concurrency certificate ultimately expired. <br />However, the pre -paid traffic impact fee credits run with the land, and do not expire. Therefore, the <br />traffic impact fee credits will be applied to the traffic impact fee obligation for each new unit, on a unit <br />by unit basis. <br />17.
