6. The minimum level of service standard for arterial and collector roads outside the adopted Transportation Concurrency Exception Area ( TCEA) is " D ". There is no minimum level of service standard within the TCEA. However, proposed development within the TCEA shall provide facilities that improve mobility, based on the requirements set forth in Section 6. 01. 06. 7. The minimum level of service for public schools is 100 percent of the capacity established by the Department of Education for schools serving the City. B. The eoncurrency calculation and determination shall compare the available capacity of each required facility or service to the demand of the proposed development. 1. The required facilities to meet the level of service standard for stormwater runoff shall be determined by the calculation of stormwater impacts as set forth in the Engineering Standards Manual ofFort Walton Beach. 2. The available capacity for the transportation system shall be determined by the provision of a transportation or traffic study as set forth in Section 9. 02. 04.B. 3. The available capacity of all remaining facilities and services with an adopted level of service standard shall be calculated as follows: Adrninioratice l' rocedure, I' s ge4 - 21 Pa" P9_ 246  13. 1. c Fore V, aitun Beach I and a. Establishing the capacity of the facility or service; b. Subtracting the capacity used by existing development; c. Subtracting the capacity committed to approved developments through issuance of certificates of concurrency; and d. Yielding the amount of capacity remaining and available to serve proposed development. C. The available capacity may be adjusted based on planned expansions to capacity that guarantee an increase in capacity prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the proposed development. D. The required capacity may be established in an approved development agreement, in compliance with the requirements in Section 9. 08. 00. 9. 03. 04 De Minimis Projects A. Generally 1. A proposed development may be determined to have a de minimis impact on one l) or more facilities and services with an adopted level of service standard, as set forth in Section 9. 03. 02. 2. A proposed development with a de minimis impact shall be exempt from any further concurrency determination. B. The following situations are considered de minimis for all facilities and services with an adopted level of service standard. 1. A single- family dwelling. 2. A nonresidential structure with fewer than 1, 500 square feet of total floor area and generating fewer than fifty (50) trips per day. 3. A building addition with fewer than 1, 500 square feet of total floor area and generating fewer than fifty (50) trips per day. C. Any proposed development or redevelopment with an impact of not more than one 1) percent of the maximum volume at the adopted level of service of the affected transportation facilities as determined by the City, utilizing the most recent table of the generated two -way peak hour volumes in the Florida Department of Transportation ( FDOT) Level of Service Handbook, shall be considered de minimis regarding the transportation level of service. No impact shall be deemed to be de minimis if the sum of existing roadway volumes from approved projects on a transportation facility would exceed 110 percent of the maximum volume at the adopted level of service of the affected transportation facility, or if the impact would exceed the adopted level of service standard for any affected designated hurricane evacuation route. 9. 03. 05 Strategies to Rectify a Lack of Concurrency Where available capacity cannot be demonstrated and a certificate of concurrency has been denied, the following methods may be used to maintain adopted level of service: A. The applicant may provide the necessary improvements to maintain level of service. In such case the application shall include appropriate plans for improvements, documentation that such improvements are designed to provide the capacity necessary to achieve or maintain the level of service as required in Section 9. 03. 03, and recordable instruments guaranteeing the construction, consistent with dmhu, lrathe Procedures Page`) - 22 PacCtet PgR -,  13. 1.. ftnach 1 and 1) cu.too nent Code determination of eoncurrency as set forth in Section 9. 03. 03. B. The proposed project may be altered such that the projected level of service is no less than the adopted level of service. C. The construction of any development project may be phased or staged so as to coincide with the phased or staged construction of infrastructure facilities so that the levels of service for such facilities are maintained upon completion of each phase or stage of the development project. 9. 04. 00 NOTICE REQUIREMENTS 9. 04. 01 Generally A.
