§ 74-105. Purpose.

It is the purpose of this chapter:

(1)

To plan for the necessary capacity expansion of the public facilities;

(2)

To provide for the health, safety, welfare and economic well-being of the residents of, and visitors to, the county consistent with the mandated responsibility of the county pursuant to F.S. § 163.3161 et seq., the Florida Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act, and F.S. § 125.01 et seq.;

(3)

To implement and be consistent with the county comprehensive plan and the Florida Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act, F.S. § 163.3161 et seq.;

(4)

To require all development that places additional demand on the public facilities to contribute its proportionate share of the funds, land or public facilities to accommodate any impacts having a rational nexus to the proposed development and for which the need is reasonably attributable to the proposed development; and

(5)

To ensure that no funds, land or public facilities are collected from new development in excess of the actual amount reasonably determined necessary to offset the demand on the public facilities generated by new development.

This chapter is intended to be consistent with the principles applied to allocate a fair share of the cost of new public facilities to new users and new development as established in Florida Statutes or applicable judicial decisions, or both.
