Land Use & Zoning

Mississippi's 'Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance' (APFO), adopted by some municipalities, requires that:

AAll new developments must provide public restrooms
BDevelopment approvals be conditioned on adequate roads, schools, utilities, and other infrastructure existing or being provided concurrently✓ Correct
CNew developments must fund existing infrastructure improvements
DAll developments must provide affordable housing

Explanation

An APFO (or concurrency requirement) ensures that new development is only approved when adequate public facilities (roads, schools, water, sewer) exist or will be provided concurrently, preventing development from overwhelming public services.
