§ 75-105. Findings.

The county, adopting the findings of the Model Ordinance for Proportionate Fair-Share Mitigation on Development Impacts On Transportation Corridors (Final Edition—February 14, 2006), finds as follows:

(1)

The county finds and determines that transportation capacity has a value to both the public and private sectors and that the county proportionate fair-share program:

a.

Provides a method by which the impacts of development on transportation facilities can be mitigated by the cooperative efforts of the public and private sectors;

b.

Allows developers to proceed under certain conditions, notwithstanding the failure of transportation concurrency, by contributing their proportionate fair-share of the cost of a transportation facility;

c.

Contributes to the provision of adequate public facilities for future growth and promotes a commitment to comprehensive facilities planning, thereby reducing the potential for moratoria or unacceptable levels of traffic congestion;

d.

Maximizes the use of public funds for adequate transportation facilities to serve future growth, and may, in certain circumstances, allow the county to expedite transportation improvements by supplementing the funds currently allocated for transportation improvements in the CIE; and

e.

Is consistent with F.S. § 163.3180(16), and supports the policies of the Collier County Growth Management Plan and Land Development Code.
