§ 23-148. Short title; authority; applicability; intent; purpose.

(a)

Short title . This division shall be known and may be cited as the "Impact Fee Surcharge and Planning Overlay Ordinance for the Greater I-75/SR50 Planned Development District Area."

(b)

Authority . The Board of County Commissioners of Hernando County has the authority to adopt this division pursuant to article VIII, section 1(f), of the Constitution of the State of Florida and Chapters 125 and 163 of the Florida Statutes.

(c)

Applicability . This division in its entirety shall apply to that area lying south of SR 50, north of Hernando/Pasco county line, east of Lockhart Road and west of the abandoned CSX railroad right-of-way (currently used as the Withlacoochcee Trail) and referred to as the I-75/SR 50 Planned Development District ("I-75/SR 50 PDD") as delineated on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the Comprehensive Plan existing as of the adoption date of this ordinance, together with any land that is thereafter added to the I-75/SR 50 PDD through the Comprehensive Plan and FLUM amendment process. In addition, this division shall apply to the additional benefitted properties (as defined below) only as to imposition of the roads impact fee surcharges and the payment, exemption and credit provisions related thereto.

(d)

Intent . This division is intended to assist in the implementation of the county comprehensive plan and provide a source of funding for anticipated public infrastructure and facilities needed to accommodate the density and intensity of new development that is planned to occur within the I-75/SR 50 PDD and along the SR 50 corridor as pertaining to the additional benefitted properties.

(e)

Purpose . The purpose of this division is to more specifically regulate the development and use of land within the I-75/SR 50 PDD, and the adjoining SR 50 corridor, so as to assure that new development, within this predominately undeveloped area at the time of this ordinance, bears its full share of the actual costs necessary to provide public infrastructure and facilities, i.e. roads, parks, schools and other public capital facilities needed for the anticipated resident population and development of this area and that these costs are fairly and proportionately shared among all property owners within the I-75/SR 50 PDD, and among the additional benefitted properties, at time of development.
