explanation
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT STAFF 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 2018/2019. 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 2014/2015 - 2018/2019. Planning staff finds that the proposed 5-Year Schedule is consistent with the various elements of the Comprehensive Plan.
After public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on January 6, 2015, the City Plan Board held a public hearing on January 22, 2015, where it voted to recommend adoption of this ordinance.
CITY ATTORNEY MEMORANDUM
This ordinance requires two hearings and shall become effective immediately upon adoption at second reading.
