Which rules are required by F.S. 163 on all comprehensive plans - sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water?

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

Answer: (C)

Concurrency rules are what F.S. 163 requires to ensure that public facilities—such as sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, and potable water—have enough capacity to serve new development at the adopted level of service. In practice, this means the comprehensive plan must include a defined process and standards for proving there will be available capacity when development occurs, often supported by a Capital Improvements Element and a concurrency management system. The other concepts are parts of planning or funding, but they aren’t the rules that guarantee facility capacity. Concurrency elements describe which facilities are subject to concurrency, not the rules themselves.
