Authority: Intent. A. Chapter 163.3202, Florida Statutes, The Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act (LGCPLDRA) of 1985, requires each local government to adopt or amend and enforce Land Development Regulations (LDR's) that are consistent with and implement its adopted Comprehensive Plan. It also specifies that these regulations shall be combined and compiled into a single Land Development Code. The Statute requires that the Land Development Regulations contain specific and detailed provisions necessary or desirable to implement the adopted Comprehensive Plan and that they encompass at a minimum the following subject matter: (1) Regulating the subdivision of land; (2) Regulating the use of land and water for those land use categories included in the land use element; ensuring the compatibility of adjacent land uses; and providing for open space; (3) Providing for the protection of potable water wellfields; (4) Regulating areas subject to seasonal and periodic flooding and providing for drainage and stormwater management; (5) Ensuring the protection of environmentally sensitive lands designated in the Comprehensive Plan; (6) Regulating signage; (7) Providing that public facilities and services meet or exceed the standards established in the capital improvements element and are available when needed for development, or that development orders and ORDINANCE NO. 2 -90 PAGE 1 OF 3 permits are conditioned on the availability of these public facilities and services necessary to serve proposed development; (8) Ensuring safe and convenient on -site traffic flow, considering needed vehicle parking. B. The City of Cape Canaveral intends, through the adoption of this Chapter 660, to combine and compile the necessary Land Development Regulations (Code) as required by the LGCPLDRA and described herein. This effort includes some changes in and additions to existing LDR's which are based upon Policies contained in the City's Comprehensive Plan as adopted in October, 1988 and as amended. Although some elements of existing applicable Land Development Regulations are located in other chapters of the City Code, all such elements are cited here and are by reference, adopted herein and made a part of the single Land Development Code. No regulations have been included for the protection of potable water wellfields since no such wellfields exist either within the City Limits or nearby. Potable water is obtained from the City of Cocoa. Since Chapter 163.3202 (g) F.S. requires that public facilities and services be available when needed (concurrently with project impact) for proposed development, the City's Land Development Regulations have been revised to include a mechanism, the Concurrency Management System (CMS), which is intended and designed to ensure compliance with the stated "concurrency" requirement.
