Sec. 655.102. - Purpose and declaration of public policy.

The purpose of this Chapter is to ensure the availability of public facilities, except Motorized and Non-motorized public transportation facilities, and the adequacy of those facilities at adopted levels of service concurrent with the impacts of development; and to provide Motorized and Non-motorized public transportation facilities at the adopted performance measures and consistent with the Mobility System as established in the Comprehensive Plan. This purpose is implemented by means of a Concurrency and Mobility Management System (CMMS) which measures the potential impact of a proposed development on the adopted minimum levels of service for all public facilities, except Motorized and Non-motorized public transportation facilities, and manages the collection of Mobility fees pertaining to Motorized and Non-motorized public transportation facilities consistent with the Mobility System, as established in the Comprehensive Plan, when an application for a final development order or final development permit is submitted. The CMMS shall ensure that the adopted level of service standards and performance measures shall not be degraded by the issuance of a final development order or final development permit. The Council declares as a matter of public policy that the concurrency requirements of the Community Planning Act, F.S. Ch. 163, Pt. II, are a public necessity and are important in the protection and enhancement of the quality of life in the City of Jacksonville, as well as Duval County and the State of Florida. The Council further declares that in order to adequately and efficiently address the City's mobility needs the City has replaced transportation concurrency with the Mobility System and hereby implements the adopted performance measures for Motorized and Non-motorized public transportation facilities of the Mobility System through the regulations set forth in this Chapter.
