(b) Existing nonresidential buildings to be modified, altered, or repaired unless the
modification will increase square footage and or increase the intensity of use. Where
existing projects (residential or nonresidential) seek expansion which will increase the
number of dwelling units or square footage for nonresidential projects, only the net
increase or expansion shall be subject to concurrency review;
(c) Vested final subdivision plats to be modified unless modification creates additional
lots;
(d) Replacement of existing residential units unless there is an increase in number of units;
(e) Any development orders, including land use amendments and rezoning applications,
which do not increase density or intensity of use:; and
(1) Permits for single-family homes deemed as "de minimis" under Florida Statutes
163.3180(6). This exemption shall apply to the permitting of a single-family home on
a lawfully created lot or parcel of record that is not subject to a plat notice which states
that there is no guarantee of concurrency for development of the lot. This de minimis
exemption will not apply where the impacts of the proposed home will exceed the
adopted level -of -service standard for any affected designated hurricane evacuation
route. Designated hurricane evacuation routes are:
1. 17th Street from SR A -1-A to US Highway 1
2. SR60
3. Indian River Blvd from the Merrill Barber Bridge to SR60
4. CR510
5. CR512
6. US Highway 1
7. Interstate 95
Applications for exempted single-family homes will be processed through the
county's concurrency management system (CMS), and a concurrency certificate
shall be issued for exempted homes.
Exemption from concurrency review shall not affect any obligation to pay applicable
impact fees and utility capacity charges.
The designation of a single agency for coordinating each level of the concurrency review
process is necessary to ensure that every concurrency application is reviewed in accordance
with these regulations prior to the issuance of a development order. The community
development department shall be responsible for coordinating the review of the development
applications identified in section 910.07(1) and for approving or rejecting concurrency
determinations. The community development director shall initiate the review process by
review of an application for completeness and data sufficiency within three (3) days of
receipt of the application. A copy of the complete application will then be forwarded to the
evaluating agencies.

Upon submission, each concurrency application will be placed in a queue Each application
will then be evaluated in the order in which it was received. As each application is
evaluated, the demand reflected by that application will be compared to the available
capacity for each facility, as described in sections 910.08 910.09 and 910.11. As demand is
allocated by approving applications, available capacity will be reduced.
If any facility has insufficient capacity to accommodate a proposed application, the
following will occur:
(a) If the applicant has indicated on his application that he would accept less capacity than
requested if available capacity is inadequate to accommodate his demand, then he will
be allocated the remaining available capacity and the concurrency certificate will be
conditioned on a comparable reduction in project size.
(b) If the applicant has indicated on his application that he would not accept less capacity
than requested if available capacity is inadequate to accommodate his demand, then his
application request will be denied.
(4) The following departments shall be responsible for evaluating the adequacy of existing and
planned facilities with regard to concurrency applications:
(5)
(a) The utilities department shall evaluate solid waste levels of service;
(b) The public works department shall evaluate roadway levels of service;
(c) The public works department shall evaluate drainage levels of service;
(d) The utilities department shall evaluate potable water levels of service;
(e) The utilities department shall evaluate sanitary sewer levels of service; and
(f) The community development department shall evaluate park levels of service.
The evaluating agencies, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the application from the
community development department, shall provide the coordinating agency a letter or other
instrument for each concurrency application. The evaluating agencies shall assess the level
of service for all facilities which will be impacted by the proposed development, determine
the extent of the impact generated by the proposed development, and determine whether
those facilities have sufficient capacity to serve the development at, or above, adopted levels
of service.
The applicant shall meet all the requirements of the evaluating agencies in order to be
eligible for approval of the concurrency application. No concurrency certificate will be
approved until each evaluating agency is satisfied that sufficient capacity is available to
accommodate the demand represented by the application. The applicant through an
enforceable development agreement with the evaluating agency may mitigate deficiencies in
order to satisfy the concurrency review.

(6) The coordinating agency will be responsible for compiling the level of service reviews into a
concurrency report within five (5) days after receipt of the evaluating agencies' report for
each concurrency application identified in section 910.08(2), except for final concurrency
applications. Each concurrency report will document
(a) The current land use and zoning designation, type and intensity of proposed use, and
public facility availability upon which the reviews were based;
(b) The specific facilities impacted by the proposed development;
(c) The extent of the impact on those facilities by the proposed development; and
(d) Conditions or stipulations regarding the timing and phasing of the development or
provision of facility improvements necessary to ensure that adequate facilities will be
available concurrent with the impact of the development.
For each concurrency application review, the coordinating agency will be responsible for
monitoring and enforcing any conditions and/or stipulations contained in previous
concurrency determinations. This will be done in order to ensure that consistent concurrency
review procedures are maintained and that unnecessary duplication as a result of different
concurrency reviews is avoided.

SECTION #2:
Section 910.08. Determination of concurrency, generally.
(1) Consistent with comprehensive plan policies, the approval of development orders shall be
contingent upon a finding that adequate public facilities are available, consistent with their
adopted levels of service and concurrent with the impact of the proposed development. Such
determination of concurrency made during the review of a concurrency application which is
not an initial or final concurrency certificate does not guarantee that there will automatically
be a finding of concurrency at subsequent steps in the process for a given property or a
proposed development. However, a finding of concurrency made at the initial concurrency
stage may be used as a basis for a finding of concurrency during the review of a final
concurrency application provided that:
(a) The previously approved concurrency determination remains in effect, as determined
by the time limit imposed upon the concurrency certificate;
(b) The impact of the proposed development under consideration was fully taken into
account during the concurrency review and in the finding of concurrency associated
with the previously approved concurrency certificate;
(c) The conditions related to land uses and facility availability upon which the previous
finding was based have not changed due to an act of nature or other situation out of the
county's control; and

(d) All conditions or stipulations regarding the timing or phasing of the development or
the provision of facility improvement by either the developer or the county imposed on
the previously approved development order have been satisfied.
(2) In order to ensure that the capacity of various public facilities is available concurrent with
the impact of the proposed development, the review of all concurrency applications shall be
based upon the following criteria:
(a) Conditional concurrency determination. A conditional concurrency certificate is a
determination that sufficient capacity to accommodate a given development proposal
is available at the time of the determination. A conditional concurrency certificate
shall be issued prior to approval of the following types of development orders:
• Comprehensive plan land use amendments
• Rezonings
• Conceptual plans
• Preliminary plats and preliminary PD plans
• Site plans
A conditional concurrency certificate will indicate that the facilities and services are
available at the time of issuance of the conditional concurrency certificate but may
not be available at the time of any subsequent concurrency review. Issuance of a
conditional concurrency certificate shall not be construed to guarantee the
availability of adequate facilities at the time of building permit applications or land
development permit applications.
1. A conditional concurrency certificate issued in conjunction with the review of a
proposed development order type specified above shall be considered valid for
purposes of approving the associated development order.
2. A conditional concurrency certificate may be issued with a condition identifying
off-site improvements necessary to meet an adopted level of service and the cost -
feasible mechanism for implementing the necessary improvements.
3. Prior to issuance of a conditional concurrency certificate, the applicant shall sign
an agreement with the county indicating that the applicant understands that the
conditional concurrency certificate does not guarantee the availability of facilities
at the time of the final concurrency review. The county will not reserve capacity
and will not be liable if capacity is not available in the later stages of the review
process.
4. Where the proposed project is a non -PD (planned development) rezoning or
comprehensive plan amendment, the concurrency impact assessment will be
based on the following criteria:

upon the development parameters of the conceptual plan (includes PD
rezonings).
(b) Initial Concurrency Determination. An initial (or an initial/final) concurrency
certificate is a determination and guarantee of availability of adequate capacity for
an approved development project with an approved proportionate share agreement as
provided in section 910.12, or an approved development project with an approved
guaranteed developer s agreement for major roadway improvements as provided in
section 910.07(1)(e). Initial concurrency certificates for such projects shall be

expiration.
(c) Notice Required for New Single-family Platted Lots.
When a final plat application is filed to create single-family lots, the following
notice shall appear on the face of the final plat:
"No building permit will be issued for development of any lot or
tract unless and until an initial and final concurrency certificate
for development of the lot or tract is obtained. Indian River
County does not guarantee that adequate capacity will exist at
the time when an applicant or applicant's successor chooses to

In addition to the notice on the face of the final plat, a separate but similar off -
plat notice shall be prepared by the final plat applicant in a manner approved
by the county attorney's office. The applicant shall have the off -plat notice
recorded in the Indian River County public records at the time that the final
plat is recorded. A copy of the off -plat notice shall be attached to and recorded

• expansion of a use
• increase in the intensity of use.
No final concurrency application will be accepted unless and until the associated
building permit application is filed.
1. In order to obtain a building permit for a new building, expansion of a use, or
increase in the intensity of use, the applicant must have a valid final
concurrency certificate. If an application for a final concurrency
determination is submitted while the initial concurrency certificate is valid,
then the capacity will have been reserved and the issuance of the final
concurrency certificate is automatic. If the amount of the impact fees
associated with the improvements represented by the initial concurrency
certificate increases before the final concurrency certificate is issued, the
