Which concept describes development that has occurred on the land, proposed by a developer on the land, or use that is permitted or permissible on the land under an adopted comprehensive plan or element?

• A. Concurrency rules
• B. Concurrency elements
• C. Land use
• D. Capital improvement

Answer: (B)

Concurrency elements are the parts of Florida’s concurrency management system that describe all development activity on the land. They include development that has already occurred, what a developer proposes on the land, and uses that are permitted or permissible under the adopted comprehensive plan or its elements. This framing ensures that new growth can be served by public facilities at required levels of service, by considering existing demand, proposed development, and allowable future uses all within the plan’s framework. It’s more specific than general land use or capital improvements, and it’s distinct from merely outlining procedures or rules.
