Saint Leo City Zoning Code

ARTICLE VI

CONCURRENCY

Sec. 6.1.- Purpose and intent.

A.

It is the purpose of this article to describe the requirements and procedures for determination of consistency of proposed development projects with the Town of St. Leo Comprehensive Plan, including meeting the concurrency requirements of the plan as mandated by F.S. ch. 163, Part II.

B.

Concurrency is defined as a condition where specified facilities and services have or will have the necessary capacity to meet the adopted level of service standard at the time of impact of the development project.

C.

No development activity or final local development order may be approved unless it is found that the development is consistent with the Town of St. Leo Comprehensive Plan and that the provision of required public facilities will be available at the prescribed levels of service concurrent with the impact of the development on those facilities.

(Ord. No. 11-01, § 2, 1-10-2011)

Sec. 6.2. - Determining consistency with the Town of St. Leo Comprehensive Plan.

A.

If a development proposal is found to meet all the applicable requirements of this chapter and the Town of St. Leo Comprehensive Plan, it shall be presumed to be consistent with the comprehensive plan in all respects except for compliance with the concurrency requirement. Any aggrieved or adversely affected person may appeal a consistency determination made by the town's staff to the town commission within 30 days of the decision in accordance with the appeal procedures set forth in this chapter.

(Ord. No. 11-01, § 2, 1-10-2011)

Sec. 6.3. - Exemptions to concurrency.

A.

Any single-family home developed on a lot of record or a single-family home not part of an approved subdivision.

(Ord. No. 11-01, § 2, 1-10-2011)

Sec. 6.4. - Concurrency management system.

A.

The purpose of this section is to ensure that public facilities and services needed to support development are available concurrent with the impacts of such development as required by the comprehensive plan. It is further recognized that the Town of St. Leo does not provide certain public services and that such services are provided by other governmental entities. Therefore, all building permit applications shall be reviewed prior to issuance in order to ensure that the adopted level of service standards as set forth in the Town of St. Leo Comprehensive Plan, Pasco County and any other governmental entity that provides public services to the Town of St. Leo for roads, potable water, sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, and parks and recreation will be maintained.

B.

Building permits for any structure, except exempt structures, may be issued only when the structure has, either as a freestanding project or part thereof, been the subject of approval of a concurrency certificate issued by the Town of St. Leo or a letter or certificate from the governmental entity providing service to the subject site stating that the project meets concurrency level of service, unless such structure is part of an approved project which is vested under the provisions of the Town of St. Leo Comprehensive Plan.

C.

The applicant for the building permit is responsible for securing the appropriate concurrency approvals and such approvals shall include an expiration date not to exceed three years.

(Ord. No. 11-01, § 2, 1-10-2011)
