What does concurrency in land use control require developers to do?

Concurrency in land use control is a principle that ensures infrastructure and public services are available at the same time that new development occurs. This means that developers must not only focus on constructing buildings but also consider how their development will affect existing services and infrastructure. The requirement to identify and mitigate negative impacts means that developers need to assess how their projects might strain local resources, such as roads, water supply, and public services. By addressing these potential issues early in the planning process, they can implement measures to lessen any adverse effects, ensuring that development is sustainable and beneficial for both the community and the developers. This proactive approach is essential for balancing growth with the needs of existing residents and infrastructure.
