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 2020/2021. 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.

Planning staff finds that the proposed 5-Year Schedule is consistent with the various elements of the Comprehensive Plan.
