Determination of available capacity.
Coral Springs Land Development Code § 250195
in effectSec. 250195. - Determination of available capacity.
For the purpose of the Land Development Code the available capacity of a facility shall be determined by the city or by the reviewing service provided using the following capacity formula and provisions:
Combine:
The total design capacity of existing facilities at the required level of service.
With:
The total design capacity of new facilities that will be available concurrent with the impact of the development. The capacity of new facilities may be counted only if one (1) or more of the following conditions are shown:
(1) The necessary facilities are in place at the time a development permit is issued, or a development permit is issued subject to the condition that the necessary facilities will be in place when the impacts of development occur.
(2) The construction of the new facilities is under way at the time of application and the completion of such facilities is guaranteed by a form of security acceptable to the city commission.
(3) The new facilities are the subject of a binding executed contract with a completion date specified in the contract which indicates that construction can be reasonably anticipated to be completed when the impacts of the development occur.
(4) The new facilities have been included in a capital improvement program annual budget which has been certified by the applicable governmental entity.
(5) The new facilities are guaranteed at a specified time in an enforceable development agreement as approved by the city commission. Such facilities must be consistent with any applicable capital improvements element of the appropriate governmental entity.
(6) Planned roadway improvements included in an adopted five-year improvement plan meeting the following criteria:
1. A capital improvements element and a five-year schedule of capital improvements which, in addition to meeting all of the other statutory or rule requirements, must be financially feasible. The capital improvements element and schedule of capital improvements may recognize and include transportation projects included in the first three (3) year of the applicable, adopted Florida Department of Transportation five-year work program.
2. The five-year schedule of capital improvements which includes both necessary facilities to maintain the adopted level of services standards to serve the new development proposed to be permitted and the necessary facilities required to eliminate that portion of existing deficiencies which are a priority to be eliminated during the five-year period under the city's plan schedule of capital improvements.
3. A realistic, financially feasible funding system based on currently available revenue sources which is adequate to fund the public facilities required to serve the development authorized by the development permit and which public facilities are included in the five-year schedule of capital improvements.
4. The five-year schedule of capital improvements must include the estimated date of commencement of actual construction and the estimated date of project completion.
5. Actual construction of the road facilities and the provision of services must be scheduled to commence in or before the third year of the five-year schedule of capital improvements.
Subtract from the above the sum of:
(1) The demand for the services created by existing development;
(2) The demand for the service (by phase or otherwise) that will be created concurrent with the impacts of committed developments; and
(3) The demand for the service created by the proposed development.
