1. What is concurrency?

Concurrency means that the necessary public facilities and services are available when the impacts of development occur. Concurrency is a timing mechanism, to assure that the provision of development and facilities occur simultaneously. The public facilities subject to concurrency are roads, sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water and parks/recreation, as provided in Chapter 163.3180 (1) (a) of the Florida Statutes. Concurrency is measured based upon level-of-service standards as adopted in the Comprehensive Plan.

2. What is a constrained roadway?

A constrained roadway is a roadway that will not be expanded with additional through lanes because of physical, environmental or policy constraints. Physical constraints primarily occur when intensive land use development is immediately adjacent to roads, thus making expansion costs prohibitive. Environmental and policy constraints primarily occur when decisions are made not to expand a road based on environmental, historical, archaeological, aesthetic or social impact considerations.

3. What is a backlogged roadway?

A backlogged roadway is a roadway that is operating at a level-of-service below the minimum level of service (LOS) standards, is not programmed for construction improvements in the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) five year work program schedule, and is eligible for future improvements as designated in the Comprehensive Plan (as it would not yet be at its ultimate section pursuant to City Policy).
