The Manual outlines the requirements and procedures that must be followed by Applicants for new Developments in order to satisfy Transportation Concurrency. Finally, the Manual outlines the procedures to be followed by staff in maintaining the Concurrency Management System (CMS). 1.3.0 Definitions 1.3.1 Applicant (for Development Approval) – Any person, firm, corporation or other entity that submits plans or other required information to the City of Temple Terrace to obtain approval of a proposed, planned or contemplated Development activity. 1.3.2 Capacity – The potential or suitability for holding, storing or accommodating, at a defined Level of Service (LOS). (a) Existing Capacity – The Capacity of the facility at the present time. (b) Programmed Capacity – The Capacity of a facility at some future time after improvements. (c) Reserved Capacity – Facility Capacity that has been reserved for a specific Development project. (d) Available Capacity – The Capacity of a facility available for use by the Demand from new Development. Available Capacity is equal to the existing (or programmed) Capacity minus the existing Demand minus the committed Demand. 1 1.3.3 Certificate of Concurrency – A statement, related to a specified Development project, that Concurrency is satisfied and that a specified amount of facility Capacity is reserved for a specified period of time. 1.3.4 Comprehensive Plan – The City of Temple Terrace Comprehensive Plan adopted pursuant to the requirements of Section 163, Fla. Stat. 1.3.5 Concurrency – That the necessary public facilities and services to maintain the adopted Level of Service standards are available when the impacts of Development occur. 1.3.6 Concurrency Management System (CMS) – The procedures and/or process the City utilizes to assure that Development Orders and permits are not issued unless the necessary facilities and services are available concurrent with the impacts of Development. 1.3.7 Concurrency Review – The process to determine if there is adequate available Capacity to accommodate the impact of a new Development project at or above the adopted LOS. 1.3.8 Concurrency Roadway Network – All streets and roads classified as Limited Access, Principal Arterial, Minor Arterial, Major Collector or Minor Collector on the "Functional Classification Maps" of the City of Temple Terrace Comprehensive Plan. (a) Limited Access Facility – A roadway especially designed for through traffic that provides uninterrupted flow at relatively high speeds. Freeways and expressways usually control access through grade-separated interchanges. (b) Arterial Road – A roadway carrying relatively continuous and relatively high traffic volume. Trip length is long and operating speed is high. Arterials serve major through movements between important centers of activity in a metropolitan area and serve a substantial portion of trips entering or leaving the area. Every U.S. numbered highway (e.g., U.S. 301) is an arterial road. (c) Collector Road – A roadway carrying relatively moderate traffic volume. Trip length and operating speed are moderate. Collector roads are facilities that connect and augment the arterial system. Collector roads distribute traffic to geographic areas smaller than those served by arterials and place more emphasis on land access. 1.3.9 Consistency – The Development project is compatible with and furthers the goals, objectives and policies of the City of Temple Terrace Comprehensive Plan and the City of Temple Terrace Land Development Code. 2 1.3.10 Demand – The requirements or burden placed on public facilities at the present time or projected into the future. (a) Existing Demand – The Demand on a public facility that is attributable to existing Development and to the current population. (b) Committed Demand – The Demand on a public facility that is expected to occur due to unbuilt, approved Development projects. (c) Proposed Project Demand – The Demand on a public facility that is expected to occur due to a Development project that is under consideration. (d) Total Demand – The Demand on a public facility that is expected to occur due to existing, committed and proposed projects. 1.3.11 De Minimis Development – A de minimis impact is an impact that would not affect more than 1 percent of the maximum volume at the adopted level of service of the affected transportation facility. No impact will be de minimis if the sum of existing roadway volumes and the projected volumes from approved projects on a transportation facility would exceed 110 percent of the maximum volume at the adopted level of service of the affected transportation facility; provided however, that an impact of a single family home on an existing lot will constitute a de minimis impact on all roadways regardless of the level of the deficiency of the roadway. Further, no impact will be de minimis if it would exceed the adopted level-of-service standard of any affected designated hurricane evacuation routes. The City shall maintain sufficient records to ensure that the 110- percent criterion is not exceeded. If the 110-percent criterion has been exceeded, no further de minimis exceptions for the applicable roadway may be granted until such time as the volume is reduced below the 110 percent. 1.3.12 Development –As defined pursuant to Section 163.3221, Fla. Stat. 1.3.13 Development Order – An order issued by the City Council authorizing a specific use and Development and further authorizing the subsequent issuance of necessary permits under the provisions of Section 380, Fla. Stat. 1.3.14 Development Agreement – A Local Government Development Agreement, as defined in Section 163.3220 through 163.3243, Fla. Stat., or other enforceable agreement between the City and a Developer for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of the Concurrency Management Ordinance. 1.3.15 Exempt – The requirement for Concurrency Review shall not be applicable to Developments located within the TCEA portion of the City of Temple Terrace identified in Policy 3.2.9 of the Future Land Use Element, so long as impacts are mitigated using the procedures set forth in the City of Temple Terrace Comprehensive Plan. 3 1.3.16 Level of Service (LOS) – An indicator of the extent or degree of service provided by, or proposed to be provided by a facility based on and related to the operational characteristics of the facility as established in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Level of Service shall indicate the Capacity per unit of Demand for each public facility. (a) MTD LOS Standard – The adopted LOS standard for state, county, and
