Objective 5.2.3. - Concurrency.


Latest version.
  • To guarantee that transportation facilities are available concurrent with the impacts of development approved by Manatee County and requiring the issuance of a Certificate of Level of Service Compliance, in a manner consistent with adopted level of service standards.

    Policy 5.2.3.1. Prohibit the issuance of certain development orders unless compliance of the particular project is established, at time of review of development orders listed under Policy 2.4.1.1.(1)—(4), with regard to adopted infrastructure and performance (level of service) standards. Compliance shall be established only when the development order is issued at the same time, or following, the issuance of a Certificate of Level of Service Compliance for that project, as described in policies under Objective 2.4.1. Adopted level of service standards are listed in policies under Objective 5.1.2 above.

    Implementation Mechanism:

    (a)

    Level of Service Compliance review, and issuance of a Certificate of Level of Service Compliance, where appropriate.

    Policy 5.2.3.2. Permit consideration of local development agreements that define and schedule specific roadway facilities to be improved by the developer of a project approved as a Development of Regional Impact (DRI), FQD, or General Development Plan meeting large project standards of the Land Development Code. Where traffic impacts analyzed during review of the Development of Regional Impact, FQD or General Development Plan meeting large project standards of the Land Development Code, also:

    • Cause the violation of adopted Level of Service Standards on certain roadways not to be improved under a local development agreement; or

    • Cause increased traffic volumes on roadways not to be improved under a local development agreement, and already in violation of adopted Level of Service Standards.

    Then any local development agreement providing for improvements funded by a developer shall also contain best possible guarantees that necessary improvements are scheduled to all other roadways on which the DRs, FQDs or GDP's meeting large project standards of the Land Development Code impacts are analyzed, and that are projected to exhibit a violation of adopted Level of Service Standards. Best possible guarantees for funding these other scheduled improvements shall also be identified in the local development agreement.

    Best possible scheduling and funding guarantees may include Florida Department of Transportation commitments to the improvements within the first three years of the adopted five-year work program, other local government programming of construction of the improvements within the first three years of the adopted five-year capital improvements program, Manatee County's inclusion of construction of the improvements in the first three years of the adopted five-year capital improvements program, or completion of improvements pursuant to another local development agreement.

    The sole intent of this policy is to facilitate and provide incentives for appropriate development to occur as a Development of Regional Impact, Florida Quality Development or General Development Plan meeting large project standards of the Land Development Code where such development has paid for a fair share of needed infrastructure within Manatee County.

    Implementation Mechanism:

    (a)

    Local development agreements negotiated to provide mitigation required pursuant to a development order issued for a Development of Regional Impact, a Florida Quality Development or a General Development Plan meeting large project standards of the Land Development Code.

    Policy 5.2.3.3. Establish a proportional fair share mitigation ordinance.

    Implementation Mechanism:

    (a)

    Internal coordination between departments to develop ordinance.

    Policy 5.2.3.4. Consider the establishment of multi-modal concurrency and/or long term concurrency management strategies for specific areas within the county, consistent with state regulations.
