Land Use & Zoning
Kentucky's Adequate Facilities Ordinance (AFO) or concurrency requirement ensures that:
AAll new development must include affordable housing
BPublic infrastructure (roads, schools, utilities) is adequate before new development is approved✓ Correct
CBuilding permits are issued within 30 days of application
DEnvironmental studies are completed before zoning changes
Explanation
Concurrency or adequate facilities ordinances require that public infrastructure (roads, schools, water, sewer) have sufficient capacity to serve new development before approval is granted. This prevents growth from outpacing the ability of public facilities to serve new residents.
