(a) The Town Commission finds that the safe, convenient and orderly flow of vehicular traffic; the availability of adequate, convenient and accessible park and recreational facilities; and the availability of safe and adequate supplies of potable water, capacities of wastewater treatment facilities and solid waste disposal facilities and stormwater management systems and retention facilities is necessary for the health, safety, welfare, economic order, aesthetics and convenience of the public. It is the intent of this chapter to ensure that roadways, parks and recreation facilities, stormwater management systems and retention facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, solid waste disposal facilities and potable water supplies are in place and adequate to meet the levels of service set in the Comprehensive Plan so as to provide safe, convenient and orderly services. It is the intent of this Chapter to implement the goals, policies, objectives and standards of the Comprehensive Plan, which provides specific standards and providing guidelines and procedures for the implementation and enforcement of the standards. The Town Commission finds that the safe, convenient and orderly furnishing of public facilities and services will be achieved by the standards set forth herein. The Town Commission intends that, by adopting the standards contained in this Chapter, the Town is committing to adhere to and implement the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan. Nothing in this Ordinance shall preclude the Town Commission or other authority with the responsibility of issuing Development Orders from considering traffic, roadway, recreational, open space, wastewater, potable water, solid waste disposal, stormwater management system/retention or project conditions not specifically addressed in this chapter or which are peculiar to the location, size, configuration, use or relationship to the area of the proposed project or the proposed project itself.
(b) The concurrency evaluation system shall measure the potential impact of any proposed project or expansion to an existing project for which a Development Order is required, upon the established minimum acceptable level of service for a roadway, solid waste, potable water, drainage, wastewater treatment or park/recreation public facility or service. The most current available information and data regarding the above public facilities and services operating levels of service shall, when reasonably possible, and appropriate be utilized for concurrency evaluations. No Final Development Order shall be approved unless adequate public facilities and services are available as determined by the concurrency evaluation.
