§ 59.1001. Findings.

(1)

The Orlando City Council finds and determines that transportation capacity is a commodity that has a value to both the public and private sectors. The City also finds and determines that the City 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 or inability to meet transportation concurrency requirements, by contributing their proportionate fair-share of the cost of a transportation facility that will mitigate the impacts of a proposed development;

(c)

Contributes to the provision of adequate public transportation facilities for future growth and promotes a strong 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 City to expedite transportation improvements by supplementing funds currently allocated for transportation improvements in the Capital Improvement Element (CIE).
