  § 23-261. Concurrency certificate validity.  

Latest version.

  • (a)

    An application for a certificate of concurrency shall be applied for at the time an application is made for any development order or approval referenced in the preceding section.

    (b)

    A certificate of concurrency shall expire simultaneously with the development order or approval it accompanied including any extensions or renewals thereof unless a different expiration period is provided in a valid and unexpired development agreement between the property owner and the county or in a valid and unexpired DRI development order issued by the county pursuant to section 380.06(15). Florida Statutes. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything in this article to the contrary, no person may claim any vested or grandfather rights to concurrency absent either: i) a valid and unexpired written certificate of concurrency; ii) a valid and unexpired development agreement between the property owner and the county as approved by the board of county commissioners and signed by its chairperson; or iii) a valid and unexpired DRI development order issued by the county pursuant to section 380.06(15), Florida Statutes.

    (c)

    The certificate of concurrency shall apply to the land and is therefore transferable from owner to owner of the subject parcel for the specific project upon which the certificate of concurrency was issued for; however, in no event may the certificate of concurrency be transferred off-site or to any other parcel.

    (d)

    Any alteration in scope, intensity, density, magnitude, location, project traffic circulation and/or distribution for the subject property must be reported to and approved by the county, and school district (if the project involves residential development), for certificate re-evaluation. If such alterations are not reported, the certificate of concurrency will be subject to revocation by the county.

    (e)

    Public facilities must serve land development in accordance with the adopted level of service standards contained within the county comprehensive plan. This certificate of concurrency when issued by the county verifies adequate capacity until its stated expiration date as provided in sub-paragraph (b) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, a certificate of concurrency offers no other assurance, does not approve any development order, and does not grant any development rights.
