Wellington City Zoning Code

ARTICLE 2

CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT

Sec. 2.1.1. - Purpose and intent.

The purpose and intent of this article is to implement the Comprehensive Plan, pursuant to F.S. chs. 163 and 166, related to the level of service (LOS) for public facilities, utilities, traffic, infrastructure, open space and recreation, which shall be reviewed regularly, and may be amended from time to time, by the village engineer. This article shall apply to all development and redevelopment village-wide.

Sec. 2.1.2 - Concurrency review and approval.

Concurrency management shall be implemented as follows:

A.

LOS standards for review shall be in accordance with the adopted LOS in the Comprehensive Plan and as further provided for in Articles 8 and 9 of the LDR.

B.

Wellington shall ensure the issuance of development orders include a determination that the development/redevelopment has met the LOS standards for potable water, sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, transportation, parks and recreation. If the LOS is impacted by the proposed development/redevelopment, the development order shall be conditioned to mitigate and/or monitor the LOS to ensure adequate public facilities are available concurrent with the development. If the applicant believes that a modification to a development order does not impact the LOS, then the applicant may request an equivalency determination, which shall be reviewed in the same manner as a concurrency determination.

C.

The following development applications shall require concurrency review, and a determination shall be provided with those development applications in accordance with Article 5 of the LDR and the Development Review Manual, based on the type of application:

1.

Master plans and master plan amendments;

2.

Conditional use;

3.

Development order amendments;

4.

Site plan or subdivision plans and site plan/subdivision plan amendments;

5.

Special use permits and equestrian permits that require council approval; or

6.

Development order time extension with conditions of approval related to LOS.

D.

Table 2.1.2-1 provides the department or agency that shall provide a concurrency determination to the applicant:

E.

Concurrency determinations shall expire based on the expiration or build-out date provided by the department or agency. If no specific date is provided, then the concurrency determination shall be subject to the time limitations for development orders, as established in Article 5.

Sec. 2.1.3. - Concurrency exemption.

A concurrency determination for a development application is exempt as follows:

A.

A modification or amendment to a project with an approved development order shall be exempt if the applicant demonstrates that the modification does not create additional impacts on public facilities/services.

B.

The addition of a permitted accessory use or structure that does not create additional impacts on public facilities/services.
