       Senator Bennett moved the following:
       
    1         Senate Amendment (with title amendment)
    2  
    3         Between lines 779 and 780
    4  insert:
    5         Section 5. Paragraph (d) of subsection (1) and subsection
    6  (2) of section 163.3182, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
    7         163.3182 Transportation concurrency backlogs.—
    8         (1) DEFINITIONS.—For purposes of this section, the term:
    9         (d)“Transportation concurrency backlog” means an
   10  identified deficiency where the existing extent of traffic
   11  volume exceeds the level of service standard adopted in a local
   12  government comprehensive plan for a transportation facility.
   13         (2) CREATION OF TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY BACKLOG
   14  AUTHORITIES.—
   15         (a) A county or municipality may create a transportation
   16  concurrency backlog authority if it has an identified
   17  transportation concurrency backlog.
   18         (b)Landowners or developers within a large-scale
   19  development area of 500 cumulative acres or more may request the
   20  local government to create a transportation concurrency backlog
   21  area for the development area for roadways significantly
   22  affected by traffic from the development if those roadways are
   23  or will be backlogged as defined by s. 163.3164(35). If a
   24  development permit is issued or a comprehensive plan amendment
   25  is approved within the development area, the local government
   26  shall designate the transportation concurrency backlog area if
   27  the funding is sufficient to address one or more transportation
   28  capacity improvements necessary to satisfy the additional
   29  deficiencies coexisting or anticipated with the new development.
   30  The transportation concurrency backlog area shall be created by
   31  ordinance and shall be used to satisfy all proportionate share
   32  or proportionate fair-share transportation concurrency
   33  contributions of the development not otherwise satisfied by
   34  impact fees. The local government shall manage the area acting
   35  as a transportation concurrency backlog authority and all
   36  applicable provisions of this section apply, except that the tax
   37  increment shall be used to satisfy transportation concurrency
   38  requirements not otherwise satisfied by impact fees.
   39         (c)(b) Acting as the transportation concurrency backlog
   40  authority within the authority’s jurisdictional boundary, the
   41  governing body of a county or municipality shall adopt and
   42  implement a plan to eliminate all identified transportation
   43  concurrency backlogs within the authority’s jurisdiction using
   44  funds provided pursuant to subsection (5) and as otherwise
   45  provided pursuant to this section.
   46         (d)Notwithstanding any general law, special act, or
   47  ordinance to the contrary, a local government may not require
   48  any payments for transportation concurrency exceeding a
   49  development’s traffic impacts as identified pursuant to impact
   50  fees or s. 163.3180(12) or (16) and may not require such
   51  payments as a condition of a development order or permit. If
   52  such payments required to satisfy a development’s share of
   53  transportation concurrency costs do not mitigate all traffic
   54  impacts of the planned development area because of existing or
   55  future backlog conditions, the owner or developer may petition
   56  the local government for designation of a transportation
   57  concurrency backlog area pursuant to this section, which shall
   58  satisfy any remaining concurrency backlog requirements in the
   59  impacted area.
