context_page_description: An Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance, APFO, or Concurrency Regulation is an American legislative method to tie public infrastructure to growth for a region.
  APFOs take into account the availability of infrastructure. They can affect growth, but are considered separate from growth controls such as building moratoria.
  Ramapo, New York; Petaluma, California; and Boulder, Colorado were some of the early adopters of this tool in America. The state of Florida uses the term "concurrency" in its growth management act.
  APFO regulations take into account some or all of a jurisdiction's infrastructure requirements, including:
  Transportation
  School facilities
  Water supply
  Water treatment
  Roads
  Other elements include:
  CIP – Capitol Improvement Programs
  Service Level Standards
