§ 22-525. Application process.

(a)

Upon notification of a lack of capacity to satisfy transportation concurrency, the applicant shall also be notified in writing of the opportunity to satisfy transportation concurrency through the proportionate fair-share program.

(b)

Prior to submitting an application for a proportionate fair-share agreement, a pre-application meeting shall be held to discuss eligibility, application submittal requirements, potential mitigation options, and related issues. If the impacted facility is on the strategic intermodal system (SIS), then the FDOT will be notified and invited to participate in the pre-application meeting.

(c)

Eligible applicants shall submit an application to the city that includes an application fee of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) 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)

Project description, including type, intensity and amount of development;

(5)

Phasing schedule, if applicable;

(6)

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

(7)

Copy of concurrency application.

(d)

The town shall review the application and certify that the application is sufficient. 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. The applicant shall have thirty (30) days of receipt of the written notification to correct the deficiencies. The town may, in its discretion, grant an extension of time not to exceed sixty (60) 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. If the applicant does not provide the information within thirty (30) days or does not request an extension, the application shall be closed.

(e)

Pursuant to section 163.3180(16)(e), Florida Statutes, proposed proportionate fair-share mitigation for development impacts to facilities on the SIS requires the concurrency 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.

(f)

When an application is deemed sufficient, the applicant shall be advised in writing and a proposed proportionate fair-share obligation and binding agreement will be prepared by the town. The agreement shall be delivered to the appropriate parties for review, including a copy to the FDOT for any proposed proportionate fair-share mitigation on a SIS facility.

(g)

The town shall notify the applicant regarding the date of the town council meeting when the agreement will be considered for final approval. No proportionate fair-share agreement will be effective until approved by the town council.
