§ 5.05.05. Proportionate fair-share application process for transportation.

A.

Prior to submitting an application for a proportionate fair-share agreement, a pre-application meeting shall be held to discuss eligibility (e.g., project status in CIE), application submittal requirements, potential mitigation options, and related issues. If the impacted facility is on the Strategic Intermodal System (SIS), or any state transportation facility, then the FDOT will be notified and invited to participate in the pre-application meeting.

B.

Eligible applicants shall submit an application to the county that includes an application fee of $5,000.00 (or a fee otherwise specified by resolution by the board of county commissioners) and the following:

1.

Name, address and phone number of owner(s), developer and agent;

2.

Property location, including parcel identification numbers;

3.

Legal description and survey of property;

4.

Development description, including development type and intensity;

5.

Phasing schedule, if applicable;

6.

Description of requested proportionate fair-share mitigation method(s);

7.

Copy of concurrency application;

8.

Copy of the transportation impact analysis for the development; and

9.

Location map depicting the site and affected road network.

C.

The county shall review the application and certify that the application is sufficient and complete within 30 working days. If an application is determined to be insufficient, incomplete or inconsistent with the general requirements of the proportionate fair-share program, then the applicant will be notified in writing of the reasons for such deficiencies. If such deficiencies are not remedied by the applicant within 60 calendar days of receipt of the written notification, then the application will be deemed abandoned. The county may, at its discretion, grant an extension of time not to exceed 90 calendar days to cure such deficiencies, provided that the applicant has shown good cause for the extension and has taken reasonable steps to affect a cure.

D.

Pursuant to F.S. § 163.3180(16)(e), proposed proportionate fair-share mitigation for development impacts to facilities on the SIS requires the consent of the FDOT. The applicant shall submit evidence of an agreement between the applicant and the FDOT for inclusion in the proportionate fair-share agreement.

E.

When an application is deemed sufficient, complete, and eligible, the applicant shall be advised in writing and a proposed proportionate fair-share obligation and binding agreement will be prepared by the county or the applicant with direction from the county and delivered to the appropriate parties for review, including a copy to the FDOT for any proposed proportionate fair-share mitigation on a SIS facility, or any state transportation facility, no fewer than 30 calendar days prior to the county commission meeting when the agreement will be considered.

F.

The county shall notify the applicant regarding the date of the county commission meeting when the agreement will be considered for final approval. No proportionate fair-share agreement will be effective until approved by the commission except as provided in the following paragraph.

G.

The board of county commissioners may, by resolution, establish criteria by which (or a threshold below which) the planning and development director or designee may execute a binding agreement for a proportionate fair-share obligation that is consistent with the provisions and procedures of this ordinance.
