Use of the term "concurrency," in the context of growth management <br />stems from a Florida law that requires local governments to ensure there will be adequate potable <br />water, sanitary sewer, drainage, and solid waste disposal capacity to serve new development concurrent <br />with the impacts of the development on those facilities. Sunny Isles Beach also enforces concurrency on <br />parks, roads, and schools—the latter two of which are required county -wide. <br />The primary intent of the proposed amendments is to implement the concurrency provisions contained <br />in the adopted Comprehensive Plan. Such provisions include minimum level of service standards for <br />each facility that is subject to concurrency within the City. The proposed amendments provide <br />procedures and standards for ensuring that each proposed development satisfies concurrency <br />requirements. As a practical matter, the proposed amendments do not require that the City <br />substantially change the way it reviews development applications. The City already reviews <br />development applications for adequacy of drainage, solid waste collection and disposal, and City park <br />capacity. As well, the City requires traffic impact studies for most site plans. Concurrency evaluations for <br />potable water, sanitary sewer and schools are made by the governmental agencies responsible for those <br />Item Number: 8.6 <br />147 <br />
