explanation
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT REPORT
This ordinance is the state-required annual update of the City's 5-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements, which is found in the Capital Improvements Element of the Comprehensive Plan. This update will reflect the City�s capital improvements projects that are scheduled through FY 2019/2020. Capital improvements are defined as: land, non-structural improvements to land, and structures (including the costs for design, permitting, construction, furnishings and equipment) with a unit cost of $25,000 or more and that have an expected life of at least two years. The capital improvements in the 5-Year Schedule are primarily related to levels of service (LOS) adopted in the Comprehensive Plan and are needed to: correct existing deficiencies in LOS; maintain existing LOS; or deal with projected LOS deficiencies that will occur during the 5-year planning period of FYs 2015/2016 - 2019/2020. Planning staff finds that the proposed 5-Year Schedule is consistent with the various elements of the Comprehensive Plan.
The City Plan Board held a public hearing on April 28, 2016, where it voted to recommend approval of Petition PB-16-26 CPA.
