INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Capital Improvements Element is to evaluate the need for public facilities as identified in other Elements of this Plan. In addition, the Capital Improvements Element will present an analysis of the fiscal capability of the City to fund needed public facilities, recommend financial policies to guide the funding of those identified improvements, and to schedule the funding and construction of improvements in a manner necessary to ensure that capital improvements are provided when required. 'All capital projects shall be reviewed as to their compatibility and timing in relation to capital projects being implemented or planned by Indian River County, the Florida Department of Transportation, the St. Johns River Water Management District, the Indian River County School Board, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and/or any other applicable government agency. Needed capital improvements are those that are necessary to meet the adopted level of service standards identified in other Elements of this Plan. The City of Sebastian public facilities that require identification and funding are: • Transportation - Roadways that are under the jurisdiction of the City and County, and those roadways which need funded improvements. • Sanitary Sewer - Sanitary sewer treatment and effluent disposal facilities necessary to serve the existing and future population of the City. This includes coordination with Indian River County to ensure those facilities are available when needed, and recommendations for adequate sanitary sewer facilities. • Solid Waste - Solid waste disposal facilities to service the City's existing and future population. This includes coordination with Indian River. County. to .ensure those facilities are available when needed, and recommendations for adequate solid waste collection methods. • Drainage - Drainage systems necessary to meet recommended level of service standards for stormwater quality and conveyance. Provision of said services and facilities shall include coordination with Indian River County and the Saint Johns River Water Management District (SRWMD), for improvements to systems and basins which serve the City but are outside its jurisdiction. • Potable Water - Potable water treatment. facilities necessary to serve the existing and future population of the City. This includes coordination with Indian River County to ensure those facilities are available when needed, and recommendations for adequate potable water facilities. • Recreation/Open Space - Land area necessary to meet the recommended level of service standards. IX-1 CITY OF SEBASTIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT The Capital Improvements Element will also present methods to implement and monitor Concurrency Management as defined and required in Chapter 9J-5.003, 9J-5.016 & 9J-5.0055, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). B. INVENTORY OF NEEDS AND FUNDING SOURCES 1. Public Facility Needs The applicable elements have identified various capital improvements necessary to meet the recommended level of service standards. In addition, Chapter 9J-5.016, F.A.C. requires the City to assure adequate public facilities are available to service public health, safety and education needs. An assessment of the required public facilities is presented below. a. Public Health Facilities The Sebastian River Medical Center is a 129-bed private facility operated by Health Management Associates of Naples, Florida. Located outside the City limits, the medical center is not part of the City's budgetary process. The Indian River County Health Department provides medical care to all Indian River County residents at its main clinic (the Vero Beach Center), and the Gifford Health Center satellite clinic, which are both located in Vero Beach approximately fourteen miles from Sebastian. b. Public Education Facilities The Indian River County School District operates the public education facilities for residents of Sebastian. There are three educational facilities located within the City of Sebastian, Pelican Island Elementary School, Sebastian Elementary School, and the Sebastian Charter Junior High School. The City is also served by the Sebastian River. High School and Sebastian River Middle School that are located immediately outside the City limits. These education facilities have been included in the assessment of applicable public facilities. An inventory of these public education facilities, including enrollment, capacity information, and locations are presented in the Public Schools Facilities Element (PSFE). All counties and municipalities are required to adopt a Public School Facilities Element (PSFE) as a part of the Comprehensive Plan by March 1, 2008. Indian River County adopted its PSFE in November 2007. The City is a party to the Indian River County Interlocal Agreement for Public School Planning, along with Indian River County, Indian River County School Board and the cities of Fellsmere and Vero Beach. The interlocal agreement was approved by all entities in February 2008. A general summary of existing and future public education deficiencies is as follows. Please note, this summary does not include charter schools. t►j CITY OF SEBASTIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT (1) Existing Public Education Deficiencies: As described in more detail in the PSFE, only two schools are over FISH lcapacity. These schools, Sebastian River Middle School (127%) and Sebastian River High School (105%) are over 100% capacity for the 2007/08 school year. Programmed improvements are identified in the District's budget to address the deficiency in the middle school. The high school has capacity projects scheduled in the current Five -Year Capital Facilities Plan for Indian River County School District. (2) Future Public Education Deficiencies: Based on student population projections from school years 2006/07 through 2011/12, Sebastian Elementary School, Sebastian River Middle School and Sebastian River High School are expected to be over capacity by 2013 if no capital improvement additions or facilities are constructed. (3) Upgrades & Maintenance of Public Education Facilities: The Indian River County School District maintains a Five -Year Capital Improvement Program to address capacity requirements of the District. As the School District works through the development of its FY 2008-2012 Five -Year Plan, the utilization of any school above 100% will be redistributed to meet the requirements of concurrency. Current and future projected middle school overcrowding is anticipated to be resolved with the opening of an additional middle school. C. Public Safetv — Fire Services The Fire Rescue Division of the Indian River County Emergency Services Department services the City of Sebastian as well as providing service throughout the County. The Indian River County Emergency Services Department does not serve Indian River Shores, which has its own fire department. The services provided include firefighting, basic life support and advanced life support medical response, special operations (marine firefighting, dive rescue, airport firefighting and rescue, high angle rescue, hazardous materials response and confined space rescue), fire prevention, arson investigation, pre -hospital emergency care and public education. 1 Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH) Permanent Capacity is a product of the number of classrooms at a school and the permanent student stations assigned to each room type including an adjustment utilization percentage for middle and high schools. Temporary capacity from portables is not included in this calculation. CITY OF SEBASTIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT Fire/EMS Stations 8 and 9 are presently located within the City limits of Sebastian. However, Fire Station 9, which was damaged by the hurricanes in 2004, is going to be abandoned in 2009 and the personnel and equipment moved to another station located just north of Sebastian outside the City limits. The new Station 9 will provide services to the same geographic location as the existing station. In addition, depending on the circumstances, equipment or resources from any of the other nine fire stations in the County can be diverted to the City. Fire Station 8 is staffed by five (5) full time Fire/EMS personnel and its equipment includes a Quin?, an ambulance, a brush truck and a tank truck. Fire Station 9 is also staffed by five (5) full time Fire/EMS personnel and its equipment includes an ambulance, an engine and a brush truck. A general summary of any existing and anticipated future public safety deficiencies is as follows: (1) Existing Fire Safety Deficiencies: Based on the County's Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating, there are no existing fire safety deficiencies for services provided within the City of Sebastian. The ISO ratings are given to fire departments throughout the country based on the effectiveness of -their fire protection services and equipment to protect the community. (2) Future Fire Safety Deficiencies: Continued residential and non- residential development may increase the demand for Fire/EMS services. As part of the County's long-range planning efforts, the County has identified the future development of a new fire/rescue facility at the western boundary of the City that will also service unincorporated County. (3) Upgrades & Maintenance of Fire Safety Facilities: The Indian River County Fire Rescue Division has two primary sources for capital expenditures: emergency services district and optional sales tax. No general fund money has been spent on fire rescue capital improvements in recent years. The County assesses impact fees for new development based on land use. The City of Sebastian collects the County impact fees and forwards them to the County. As stated previously, the County has identified the fixture development of two (2) new fire/rescue stations located at 49a' Street adjacent to Gifford and 4`h Street and 43rd Avenue to accommodate the future demand for fire/rescue service associated with new development. The estimated cost for these facilities is approximately $5,444,705. The new stations will be funded with impact fee revenue. z Quint is a term assigned to a piece of firefighting apparatus (vehicle) that is comprised of a combined ladder and engine/pumper truck. IX-4 CITY OF SEBASTIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN d. Police Services CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT The Sebastian Police Department provides law enforcement services to the residents of Sebastian. Currently, there are forty (40) sworn officers, including the Chief of Police, and a support staff of fourteen (14) civilians. In 2004, the existing Sebastian Police Station was expanded from 8,700 square feet to 18,700 square feet to address needs identified in the City's 1999 Comprehensive Plan. A general summary of existing and future police service deficiencies is as follows: (1) Existing Police Deficiencies: The State average for swom officers per population is three (3) for every thousand persons. With an estimated 2008 population of 22,400 the City of Sebastian would need a total of sixty seven (67) officers to meet the State average. Based on these population estimates, and the City's current roster of 40 sworn officers, the City is currently deficient based on the number of sworn officers relative to the overall City population. The deficiency can be attributed, in large part, to the passage of Florida Amendment 1 in January 2008 that reduced property taxes and associated ad valorem tax revenues (2) Future Police Deficiencies: Residential and non-residential development through 2030 will increase the demand for law enforcement sworn officers in order, to reach the State standard requiring three officers per thousand persons. Construction of a new police station, sub -station or public safety facility to accommodate the anticipated development may also be warranted. (3) Upgrades & Maintenance of Police Facilities: The 2004 police station expansion was designed to accommodate needs through 2015. The City has identified additional capital outlay funds to address law enforcement services through 2013. The City's 2007/08 Annual Budget includes funds for personnel, vehicles, uniforms, laptops and equipment estimated at—$2,310,000. Specific capital purchases including vehicles, special vehicle equipment and personnel equipment are identified in Table XII-2. e.

(3) Upgrades and Maintenance of Transportation System: The Indian River County Transportation Improvement Program does not identify any roadway improvements in Sebastian between the fiscal years 2007/08 and 2011/12, because no deficiencies are expected to occur until after 2012. The City has- programmed and coordinated several improvements on State, County and local roads to improve operations and pedestrian safety, including: raising the elevation and widening Easy Street (including stormwater improvements and sidewalk/bicycle paths); constructing pedestrian bridges over waterways alongside parallel roadways for safety reasons; improvements to CR 512 corridor through landscaping and enhanced pedestrian crosswalks; intersection improvements at Barber Street and Schumann Drive; ongoing sidewalk construction program; and design and construction of a paved road extending Powerline North Road to CR 512. Planned maintenance includes street resurfacing throughout the City. 3 Indian River County Transportation Improvement Program FY 2007/08-2011/12, IR IP0, July 11, 2007 mm CITY OF SEBASTIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN £ Sanitary Sewer CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT The central sanitary sewer system for the City of Sebastian is operated and maintained by Indian River County Utilities. The system is not available throughout the majority of the City of Sebastian, only along arterial roadways and in newer subdivisions. The City is served through the North Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, which is linked to the Central Regional Plant, providing a combined current permitted capacity of 4.85 MGD. A general summary of existing and future Sanitary Sewer System is as follows: (1) Existing Sanitary Sewer Deficiencies: The County installed and maintains the collection system that exists along the arterial roadways within the City of Sebastian. There are no existing collection system deficiencies, with the exception of any failing private septic tanks. (2) Future Sanitary Sewer Deficiencies: There are no anticipated future sanitary sewer deficiencies. It is anticipated that as the population of Sebastian and the surrounding unincorporated County grows, the demand for sanitary sewer services will increase. The County's Five -Year Capital Improvement Program identifies funds to complete the construction of the Spoonbill Marsh Site natural treatment facility that serves the North Regional Waste Water Treatment Plant service area, which is expected to accommodate future demand for sanitary sewer services associated with the anticipated population increases in the Sebastian area. . (3) Upgrades and Maintenance of the Sanitary Sewer System: Indian River County maintains a Five -Year Capital Improvement Program, which addresses the necessary upgrades and maintenance of its sanitary sewer. system. The City of Sebastian and Indian River County coordinate regarding the anticipated future demand for Sanitary Sewer Services and the installation of system upgrades and enhancements. g. Solid Waste Indian River County provides solid waste disposal services to all residents and businesses in the County through a dependent special assessment district, the Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD). The physical assets of the SWDD include the Indian River County Solid Waste landfill site and five Customer Convenience Centers (CCCs). The landfill site presently includes a total area of 595 acres that contains two (2) separate landfills. These are a Class I landfill (which contains two segments) and a Construction and Demolition (C&D) landfill. Additionally the landfill site contains a 5-acre parcel dedicated for grinding all vegetative debris received. IX-8 CITY OF SEBASTIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT The SWDD does not provide solid waste collection services directly to homes and businesses. The City authorizes private franchise operations that provide such services on a voluntary basis for a monthly fee. The franchise operators also provide recycling service to all residential improved properties. The franchise operators bring the solid waste and recycling materials to the landfill site, and are not charged a tipping fee. Residents who do not contract with the franchise operators for solid waste collection are responsible for bringing their solid waste to one of the five Customer Convenience Centers. Hazardous solid waste is prohibited at the CCCs, although some is probably dropped off there. The SWDD transports solid waste from the CCCs to the landfill. Residential and commercial recycling materials may be dropped off directly by residents and business owners at the landfill. A general summary of existing and future Solid Waste deficiencies is as follows: (1) Existing Solid Waste Deficiencies: There are currently no deficiencies in the solid waste program. Indian River County currently has adequate landfill capacity to meet the City's needs through the year 2030. (2) Future Solid Waste Deficiencies: There are no solid waste deficiencies anticipated through the planning period 2030. With the current cells and proposed additional cell 3, which includes an expansion of the existing C&D landfill, the landfill's design capacity will be 13.5 million cubic yards by 2030. It is estimated that to accommodate the anticipated future demand for solid waste services after the planning horizon year 2030, the landfill facility will require additional capacity for Class I solid waste and additional capacity for construction and demolition waste. (3) Upgrades and Maintenance of Solid Waste Program: The County has no plans to upgrade its overall solid waste program. The County's Five -Year Capital Improvements Plan includes general improvements, and expansions in some cases, to the transfer stations (Citizens Convenience Centers). h. Drainaize The City of Sebastian adopted a Master Stormwater Management Plan in 20044 that identified drainage projects to address drainage issues and problems within the City. The drainage issues were generally related to lack of culverts and problems with existing control structures, open channels and wet detention ponds. The Master Stormwater Management Plan projects were ranked using the following criteria: flood severity; public benefit; priority; permitting requirements; and water quality enhancement potential. A general summary of 4 City of Sebastian, Master Stormwater Management Plan, CDM, 2004 IX-9 CITY OF SEBASTIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT existing and future drainage deficiencies within the City are identified as follows with generalized recommendations for improvements. (1) Existing Drainage Deficiencies: City staff and the Stormwater Master Plan identified existing problem areas in the City in 2004. A recommended capital improvements schedule was included in the Stormwater Master Plan for the fiscal years 2003/04 to 2008/09. (2) Future Drainage Deficiencies: New development has to be designed to meet stormwater level of service standards. The Stormwater Master Plan has identified capital improvements designed to address the anticipated future conditions through 2018/2019. (3) Upgrades and Maintenance of the Drainage System: Stormwater system improvements identified in the Sebastian Stormwater Master Plan for the years after FY 2009/10 are included in the City's five-year Capital Improvements Program. The City has identified $250,000 per year in FY 2009/10 and FY 2010/11 to upgrade the existing swale system with quarter -round pipe. Improvements are scheduled for Collier Creek and the Twin Ditches. Scheduled maintenance now includes a program for mowing rotation of ditches. i. Potable Water The central potable water system for the City of Sebastian is operated and maintained by Indian River County Utilities through its North County Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Plant, which began operations in 1998. The current capacity of the North County Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Plant is 3.5 MGD. A general summary of existing and future Potable Water System deficiencies is as follows: (1) Existing Potable Water Deficiencies: There are no existing deficiencies related to potable water consumption. The Indian River County Water Utility system has the capacity to serve existing residential and non-residential units that do not have private wells. (2) Future Potable Water Deficiencies: In order to address anticipated deficiencies based upon the projected potable water demand in 2030, Indian River County will establish six (6) additional wells. These wells are currently undergoing permitting. The County is also working with a consultant to design an alternative water IX-10 CITY OF SEBASTIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT supply project to coordinate design capacity with demand projected to 2030 for the North County WTP. (3) Upgrades and Maintenance of the Potable Water System: Indian River County maintains a Five -Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which addresses the necessary upgrades and maintenance of its utility system. In the event the County is required to convert to alternative water supply sources, the existing treatment plant technology and facilities will continue to be utilized. In 2007, Indian River County prepared an Alternative Water Supply Master Plan. According to that plan, surface water may serve as an alternative to, or a supplement to, the Floridan Aquifer as the County's future potable water supply source. For surface water to be a practical alternative supply source, however, there needs to be a viable surface water storage system. Any such surface water storage system would need to be designed in coordination with the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD). In addition to identifying and planning for future alternative water supply sources, the County Utilities Department is also analyzing implementation of various water conservation and reuse programs. j. Recreation/Oven Svace The City of Sebastian Parks and Recreation Division is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of its City parks as well as the maintenance and upkeep of rights -of -way and medians within the City. These responsibilities include maintenance of restroom facilities at nine (9) parks, regular maintenance of seven (7) baseball/softball fields and football/soccer fields, repairs to playground and picnic facilities, and the associated landscape planting and maintenance at these facilities. The City's park inventory includes over 1,097 acres of parkland. This parkland is comprised of twenty-five (25) neighborhood parks, nine (9) community parks, including the Municipal Golf Course, and the Stormwater Park. The City also owns and operates two (2) boat ramps. A general summary of existing and future Parks and Recreation facilities is as follows: (1) Existing Parks and Recreation Deficiencies: The City has no existing Parks and Recreation deficiencies. The City's LOS standard is two (2) acres of neighborhood parks per 1,000 residents and two .(2) acres of community parks per 1,000 residents. Based on population projections through 2015 (28,069 residents) the IX-11 CITY OF SEBASTIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT City's 297 acres of neighborhood parks and 800 acres of community parks exceed the adopted level of service for park land. (2) Future Parks and Recreation Deficiencies: Based on population projections through 2030 (38,384) there are no deficiencies anticipated throughout the long-term planning period. (3) Upgrades and Maintenance of the Parks and Recreation System: There are no existing or future recreation and open space deficiencies identified. However, the City has included several capital projects aimed at enhancing the City's parks and recreation infrastructure through 2013. These projects include: development of five (5) existing unimproved parks located at Azine Terrace, Keen Terrace, the intersection of Barber Street and Acorn Terrace, the intersection of Carnival Terrace and Periwinkle Drive, and the park at the intersection of Celtic Avenue and Crown Street. Additional programmed improvements include the replacement of field lights on the City's four ball fields; and upgrades throughout all City parks consisting of painting, fountains, irrigations systems and new turf. 2. Funding Source Definitions The City of Sebastian utilizes numerous sources to fund operation and capital expenses in the City. Since the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, the City has employed methods described in the Capital Improvements Element in addition to its standard annual budgeting procedures to allocate funds for specific purposes. An overview of various funding sources utilized for capital project funding is presented below. a. General Fund Revenue Sources (1) Ad Valorem Taxes (Property Taxes). Ad valorem taxes include revenue from non-exempt property taxation. The current millage rate is 2.99175. (2) Local Half -Cent Sales Tax. Sales taxes are collected by businesses and remitted to the State of Florida pursuant to the "Local Government Half -Cents Sales Tax Fund" program, created by the Florida Legislature in 1982. Monies in this trust fund are distributed monthly to eligible counties and municipalities. (3) Franchise Fees. Franchise fees are paid by utility providers (electricity, solid waste) for their use of City streets and property in 5 City of Sebastian Annual Budget, Fiscal Year 2007/08. IX-12 CITY OF SEBASTIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT providing their services. The City assesses a franchise fee for the electric utility and the solid waste collection services. (4) Licenses, Permits and Fines. All businesses operating in the City are required to pay a local business tax. Fees for driveway permits, zoning, site plan review, plat review and alarm permits, provide income from this revenue source. Fines for parking tickets, court fines, code enforcement fines, and the like provide additional income. (5) Intergovernmental Revenue. Intergovernmental revenues are funds collected by the State or County and shared with other local government units. Major sources of shared revenue include the cigarette tax, State revenue sharing, beverage licenses, mobile home licenses, motor fuels tax, half -cent sales tax and occupational licenses. (6) Interest Income. Interest income is revenue earned on funds that have been invested by the City. (7) Other Charges for Services/User Fees. Service and user fees are charges for services provided by the City that are paid by the users to fully or partially cover the costs to provide services. (8) Utility Services Taxes. Utility taxes are assessed at a rate of 10% of the monthly purchase price on purchases of electricity, water, and LP gas services on customers within the City limits. (9) Communication Services Taxes. The Communication Service Tax -replaced the franchise fee for dealers of communications services (including, but not limited to, phone and cable TV services). The City assesses a tax of 5.22% of the sales price on all taxable sales of communication services provided within the municipality. b. Other Funds Revenue Sources (1) Impact Fees. These fees are charged concurrent with new development and contribute toward payment for infrastructure needs, but not operational costs, which directly result from new development. The only impact fee revenue included in the City's budget is currently assessed for parks and recreation. The City collects impact fees for Indian River County for transportation, emergency services, sanitary sewer, solid waste and potable water. (2) Special Assessments. Special assessments are levied against residents, agencies or districts that directly benefit from the service or facility. IX-13 CITY OF SEBASTIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT (3) Special Fees. The City established the Sebastian Stormwater Utility in 2001, which levies an annual fee on a per unit/property basis throughout the community. (4) Enterprise Funds. Enterprise funds are used to account for City services that are operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises where the intent is that the costs (expenses including depreciation) of providing goods and services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges. Examples of these are the Building Department Fund, Golf Courses and the Airport. (5) Local Option Gas Tax (LOGT). The LOGT is a six -cent per gallon tax levied by Indian River County. The tax funds are distributed to participating cities within the county on a percentage basis determined by the cities' populations and amount of annual transportation -related expenditures. (6) Discretionary Sales Taxes. The discretionary sales tax is the additional one -cent sales tax levied by Indian River County. In November 2002, an extension of the original Optional One -cent Sales Tax was approved by voter referendum through December 31, 2019. The tax funds are distributed to participating cities within the County on a percentage basis determined by the cities' populations. (7) Tax Increment Fund (TIF) Revenue TIF revenue is tax revenue that is attributable to the increase in property values due to the improvements within the City's Riverfront Redevelopment Area. The additional tax revenue that is received from the affected properties is referred to as the tax increment. This TIF revenue may be used for capital projects located within the City's Riverfront Redevelopment Area. (8) Law Enforcement Forfeiture Fund This fund is used to account for the receipt of forfeited cash and equipment associated with police activities. The use of these funds is restricted to police related equipment purchases and community education initiatives. (9) General Obligation Bonds. These bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the local government and must be approved by voter referendum. They offer low interest for carrying less risk since they are secured by government taxing power. Capital improvements financed through general obligation bonds should be used only for projects benefiting the whole City. Currently, the City has no General Obligation Bonds. IX-14 CITY OF SEBASTIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT (10) Revenue Bonds. Funds raised from revenue bonds may be used for projects benefiting a specific group since charges collected from users of the improvement are applied directly to the debt service on. these bonds. In this respect, the projects are self-supporting. Revenue bonds pay higher interest and their issuance may be approved by the City Council without voter approval. (11) Industrial Revenue Bonds. Though the local government issues these bonds, the debt is assumed by the companies or industries that use the revenues for construction of utility plants or facilities. Because they are tax-exempt and low interest, industries are attracted to this type of bond. Local government can transfer the actual liability to provide interest while garnering employment and economic benefits for the community. (12) Federal and State Grants and Loans. Federal funds are allocated to state agencies that administer block grants or are disbursed as block grants directly to state and local agencies or other eligible organizations. The purpose of the block grant program is to enable greater latitude by recipients in the actual use of the funds. These funds are generally a non -recurring source and cannot be accurately projected for budgeting purposes. Several federal agencies offer direct loan programs that allow limited ability for the City to finance capital improvements. State loans, however, can be used to finance capital projects such as land acquisition for low- income housing. C. PUBLIC. FACILITY ANALYSIS 1. Current Practices for Funding Capital Improvements Capital improvements in the City of Sebastian are funded primarily by the Discretionary Sales Tax Fund and the Community Redevelopment Agency. The Discretionary Sales Tax provided 40.08% of the total funding for capital projects in Fiscal Year, (FY), 2007/08. The Community Redevelopment Agency provided 27.82% of the total funding for capital projects in FY 2007/08. Other significant revenue sources for capital improvements for FY 2007/08 were grants and recreation impact fees. These two sources provided 15.13% and 9.46% respectively of the total funding for capital projects in Fiscal Year, (FY), 2007/08. In FY 2007/08 the primary expenditures of capital improvement funds were for transportation and stormwater improvements. These two expenditure categories utilized 65.36% and 24.45% respectively, of the total capital funds expended in FY 2007/08. The various elements of this plan discuss and analyze capital improvements necessary to address existing deficiencies and provide facility expansion to meet projected growth. The methods of project prioritization of the identified capital improvements are explained below. IX-15 CITY OF SEBASTIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT To provide a means to determine the relative priority of each capital project, the City will use the following criteria to prioritize projects: • Whether the project increases the efficiency of existing facilities or infrastructure. • Whether the project represents a logical extension of facilities within the urban service area. • Whether the project is financially feasible. • Whether the project is coordinated with major projects of other agencies. • Whether the project is necessary to meet established levels of service. • Whether the project implements the policies of the Comprehensive Plan as they pertain to concurrency requirements. • Whether the project eliminates a public hazard. Based on the criteria noted above, capital projects identified in the various plan elements were rated and the estimated costs for .each project were determined. Table IX-2 displays a prioritized list of each capital project by element, including the corresponding cost estimate for the period 2008/09 through 2012/13. 2. Impacts of Future School Needs on Infrastructure Impacts placed on public facilities and infrastructure serving school sites will be addressed on a case -by -case basis and are not anticipated to have any significant effects on current or proposed levels of service for short- and long-range planning periods. As additional student stations are added to existing schools or new schools are built, demand for and consumption of public services can be expected to increase proportional with the increase in student stations. The City has included future school -demands when analyzing the City's transportation, water and sewer infrastructure needs. In addition, school demands on the City's water and sewer infrastructure have been included in the level of service calculations for those services. 3. Timing and Location of Capital Projects Capital projects planned through 2012 will occur in various locations throughout the City. The timing of new infrastructure is accomplished by setting guidelines within the various Elements of this Plan, to assess the relative strength of the City's infrastructure to service both existing and future growth. The numerous Elements of this Plan require City departments to provide an assessment of the City's infrastructure annually at budget time. As the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is updated annually if there are any changes or deletions of previously funded projects shown in the CIP, the City will need to adopt an ordinance and transmit the changes to the Department of Community Affairs. I01 CITY OF SEBASTIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT 4. Financial Assessment For purposes of assessing the City's financial capability to fund the capital projects identified in this Element, projected revenue sources and expenditures through the year 2013 have been identified in Tables IX-4 and IX-5, respectively. Specific local practices to help provide a more detailed level of analysis that will guide the provision of funding for needed improvements for each public facility are described below. Transportation The timing of new roads and streets, intersection improvements, and the placing of traffic signalization is driven by new development, availability of funds and public input. The location of signaling devices is determined by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) on US 1 and by Indian River County on collector streets feeding into arterial streets. Placing of traffic signs and other internal controls on local streets are determined by the City of Sebastian. The City of Sebastian is a member of the Indian River Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The Indian River MPO facilitates and coordinates regional transportation planning and roadway planning activities for Indian River County and its municipalities. Transportation related operations and maintenance are funded through the General Fund in the City Public Works and Engineering Departments. Capital improvement projects are funded from special revenues. The Indian River County Local Option Gasoline Tax and State Motor Fuels Tax, which are a part of general fund revenues, are reserved exclusively (pursuant to State Statute) for streets and drainage operations and capital projects. The County charges a transportation impact fee on new development throughout the county that is used to fund certain transportation improvements. The City collects the fee for development within its limits and forwards the funds to the County. b. Sanitary Sewer The City's central sanitary sewer system is provided by the Indian River County Utilities Department through its North and Central County Regional Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP). The goals, objectives and policies of the Sanitary Sewer Element address the need for the City to coordinate with Indian River County to ensure the County provides adequate wastewater disposal capacity for City residents and commercial establishments in a way that does not damage natural systems. Indian River County maintains a Five -Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which addresses the necessary upgrades and maintenance of its utility system. Along with user fees, the County charges a sanitary sewer impact fee on new development throughout the county that is used to fund certain sanitary waste IX-17 CITY OF SEBASTIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT capital improvements. The City collects the fee for development within its limits and forwards the funds to the County. C. Water The City's central potable water system is provided by the Indian River County Utilities Department through its North County Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Plant (WTP). The goals, objectives and policies of the Potable Water Element address the need for the City to coordinate with Indian River County to ensure the County provides a high quality, adequate water capacity for City residents and commercial establishments. Indian River County maintains a Five -Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which addresses the necessary upgrades and maintenance of its utility system. Along with user fees, the County charges a potable water impact fee on new development throughout the county that is used to fund certain potable water capital improvements. The City collects the fee for development within its limits and forwards the funds to the County. d. Solid Waste Pursuant to Chapter 403, F.S., Indian River County is responsible for providing adequate solid waste disposal capacity throughout the planning horizon. The goals, objectives and policies of the Solid Waste Element address the need for the City to coordinate with Indian River County to ensure the County provides adequate solid waste disposal capacity for City residents and commercial establishments. The Indian River County Solid Waste Disposal District is a self-supporting operation. Its revenues consist primarily of an annual -non -ad -valorem assessment on improved property throughout the county and tipping fees charged at the landfill for construction and demolition (C&D) and land clearing debris and tires. The County charges a solid waste impact fee on new development throughout the county that is used to fund certain solid waste capital improvements. The City collects the fee for development within its limits and forwards the funds to the County. e. Draina?e The City of Sebastian's 2004 Master Stormwater Management Plan identified potential flooding problem areas within the City and other structural and non- structural drainage improvement needs. In response to the need to comprehensively address and implement long-term solutions to community drainage and other stormwater related problems, the City established the Sebastian Stormwater Utility in 2001, which levies an annual fee on a per unit/property basis throughout the community. IX-18 CITY OF SEBASTIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN f. Recreation and Open Space CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT The City's parks and recreation budget is funded from general fund revenue, the Parks and Recreation Impact Fee applied to new residential development, and grants, such as the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program and the Florida Inland Navigation District Waterways Assistance Program. 5. Forecasting of Revenues and Expenditures To determine the amount of funds available for capital projects, both expenses and revenues were projected for the planning period. Almost forty (40) percent of the City's total revenue is derived from the City's ad valorem tax base. Projected millage rates and future ad valorem revenues through 2013 are displayed in Table IX-3. As indicated in Table XII-3, ad valorem tax revenues projected for fiscal years 2008/09 to 2012/13 are expected to be considerably lower than revenue collected in fiscal year 2007/08. The reason for the lower projections for ad valorem tax revenue is the passage of Florida's Amendment 1, approved January 29, 2008. The City calculated its projected revenues for the 2008/09 year and years beyond, based on the amendment's doubling of the homestead exemption, from the current $25,000 to a maximum $50,000 for homes valued at $75,000 or more. Ad valorem revenue is generally used for general fund purposes, while special revenue funds are primarily used for capital improvement projects. Additional projected revenues for funds other than general revenue that can be used for capital projects are provided in Table IX4. Other financial considerations for capital improvements are described below: a. Debt Capacitv The City currently has no bonded general obligation debt. The City does utilize debt service financing to pay for capital projects including roadway improvements, general infrastructure improvements, stormwater improvements and improvements to the Municipal Golf Course. The City utilizes General Fund revenues, Stormwater Utility revenues, Parks and Recreation Impact Fee revenues and other special fund revenues to fund their respective debt service payments. Schedules of existing debt commitments are displayed in Table IX-5. The maximum amount of total City debt will not exceed 5% of the City's property tax base assessed valuation, as reported annually by the Indian River County Property Appraiser 6. Table IX-6 displays the City's debt capacity based on the maximum 5% ratio to the City's tax base valuation. b. Operating Expenses A schedule of the City's projected operating expenses extracted from funds that provide revenue for each of the City's capital facilities is provided in Table IX- 7. 6 Rule 9J-5.016, Florida Administrative Code (FAC) IX-19 CITY OF SEBASTIAN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT 6. Financial Feasibility Section 163.3180(15)(c), Florida Statutes, states: "A determination of financial feasibility shall be based upon currently available funding or funding sources that could reasonably be expected to become available over the planning period." The Five -Year Capital Improvement Schedule (Table IX-2) provides the foundation of an annual planning process that allows the City to meet its capital improvement needs and maintain its adopted level of service standards based on projected growth and available existing capacity. The revenue sources described herein are projected to be adequate to fund the projects identified in the Five -Year Capital Improvements Schedule. These revenue sources include City, County, State and Federal taxes, grants, fees and assessments. 7. Concurrency Management The intent of the Concurrency Management System (CMS) established in Chapter 3, Article IX of the Land Development Code is to ensure that public facilities and services needed to support development are available concurrent with the impacts of such development. This Article sets forth criteria for assessment of development impact and guidelines to ensure that the adopted level of service standards established by the City's Growth Management Policies required for roads, sanitary sewer, potable water, drainage, solid waste, and parks and recreation are maintained. The concurrency evaluation system shall measure the potential impact of any proposal for a development permit or order upon the established minimum acceptable levels of service for sanitary sewer, solid waste, potable water, parks and recreation, and transportation facilities, unless the development permit or order is exempt from the review requirements of this section. No development permit or order which contains a specific plan of development, including densities and intensities of development, shall be issued unless adequate public facilities are available to serve the proposed development as determined by the concurrency evaluation set forth in this section.

OLD BUSINESS: NONE NEW BUSINESS: A. PUBLIC HEARING — REVIEW AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING PROPOSED REVISIONS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Future Land Use Element Housing Element Transportation Element Public School Facilities Element Capital Improvements Element Intergovernmental Coordination Element Us. Grohall introduced Tracy Crowe- and Christopher Dougherty of Land Design Innovations, the city's consultant on this project. Ms. Grohall asked if the commission LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF OCTOBER 16, 2008 would hear the entire presentation portion, open the public hearing on all items, take questions, and then make individual motions. Chmn. Paul opened the public hearing and Mr. Dougherty explained how they prepared the documents and asked that all questions be held to the end of their presentation. He beganwith reviewing the State_ Statute Chapter 163, which requires all local governments to review and update their Comprehensive Plan every ten years. .Mr. Dougherty began with the Future Land Use Element. He explained the purpose to designate future land use patterns, strategically manage growth and development while maintaining the quality of life. This element includes existing conditions and land use map, future land use plan and map, the addition of agriculture and very low residential designations, and the goals, objectives and policies to be followed. Utilizing a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Dougherty showed the added elements of coastal high hazard area and community redevelopment area which is required by the state. The Transportation Element plans for a system that emphasizes accessibility to goods and services and supports the Future Land Use Element. It is based on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM), Future land Use Element (FLUE) and are you setting up a road system that coordinates with those. The purpose behind the Housing Element is to identify the present condition and type of housing. It analyzes housing trends and determines deficiencies and causes. It recommends appropriate plans, programs, and policies to provide adequate and safe housing. The predominant housing type in Sebastian is 85% single family with the 60% of the housing stock being built since 1.990. The newly required Public School Facilities Elementidentifies school capacity based on district' wide boundaries., ensures coordination between local governments and school boards and looks at co -locations of schools and parks. This element used the .Florida Inventory of Schoot Houses (FISH) Capacity data which is developed by the Department of Education. With this element the city must set up a concurrency management system with the school board, whom they manage, but it requires that the cities and counties coordinate with the school board with regards to new residential development. The Capital Improvements Element is where you identify your needs and deficiencies and you've developed a plan for improvements to' help those deficiencies. The state requires that it be financially feasible, which means if you have an improvement scheduled for a -certain year it has to be tied to a funding source..' Also, the state now requires that the Capital Improvement Schedule, not the element, be updated annually. Mr. Cardinale inquired about having something* in place to prevent similar businesses from opening in close proximity to one another and possibly causing one. of them to go out of business. - Ms. Crowe explained that would be possible within the Land Development Code and not the, Comprehensive Plan. There was. discussion regarding what changes are covered in the Comprehensive Plan and which are done through the Land Development Code. LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF OCTOBER 16, 2008 Ms. Quimby asked the presenters if the school superintendent and district staff had reviewed and approved the public school facilities portion for accuracy and content. Ms. Grohall explained that the city entered into a two-year process in conjunction with the county government staff as well as the county school board staff. The city had the opportunity to participate in drafting Indian River Public School Facilities Element, which was approved not only by the school board and worked in conjunction with the school board. but.also by the .state. This is literally a carbon copy of that element. Ms. Quimby noted areas that had information not current,. particularly the Imagine School. Ms. Grohall had that school was under review at the time this document was written. Ms. Crowe added what they normally do is have a source date, or cutoff date for `receiving data. There is policy within the element to have coordination between city staff and school board staff. Mr. Srinivasan asked Mr. Ginsburg if anyone could sit on this board and make comment. Mr. Ginsburg explained that he could go to any board and speak on his own behalf as a resident but not be a representative of the commission. Mr. Srinivasan then asked the reason for Ms. Quimby's presence on the board. Ms. Grohall explained that the city does have a school element within its Comprehensive Plan and part of that is our agreement through an interlocal agreement to participate with the school board jointly for planning. Ms. Quimby is the school board representative designated to the City of Sebastian Planning and Zoning Commission. Ms. Crowe then explained what was meant by out- dated data to Mr. Srinivasan. Ch.mn. Paul asked Mr.' Ginsburg if the commission were overlooking anything or if he had any comments for the -commission. Mr. Ginsburg said'he read through the material and basically we're kind of late in the cycle. That is why it was important for the staff to bring the material to you so they can get it to City Council and theri on to the state and be current on their legal requirements to have their plan updated. Chmn. opened the hearing to public comments. No one came forward to speak. Chmn. Paul closed the public hearing.

The City shall consider the use of all Iegal and suitable fiscal management techniques to achieve delivery of public services and facilities needed by existing and anticipated future populations. The capital improvement program presented herein identifies capital improvements needed by the existing population to satisfy levels of service standards incorporated within this Comprehensive Plan. The City shall consider performance standards as well as legal and equitable impact fees, where appropriate, to ensure that new developments provide in advance of development a sufficient level of public facilities and services (or fees in lieu thereof) in order to cover the costs of needed facilities and services, the demands for which are specifically attributable to _ such new development. This element shall provide a basis for estimating fiscal impacts required by capital improvements included in the Comprehensive Plan. The capital improvements program and budgeting process provide an ongoing process for continuing planning and review of the City's capital outlays, including their location, timing, estimated cost, relative priority, and potential funding sources. The capital improvement program and budget process is an advisory planning function. Capital outlays are fixed only by the City Council. Policy 9-1.1.2: Capital Improvement Program. A capital improvement project is defined as a project that is self-contained and that will usually be constructed or purchased as a unit. A capital improvement generally includes only those items constructed or purchased that have a useful life extending beyond a ten- year period following their acquisition, and usually involve a cost in excess of $10,000 or involve the acquisition or disposal of land regardless, of cost. Minor recurring annual expense items, including routine maintenance and repairs, are excluded. All projects that are to be financed from bond funds are included. Similarly, preliminary engineering studies for public facilities such as the design of improvements to the transportation water, wastewater, and drainage systems are generally itemized as capital, expenditure items due to their significant cost and their impact on the capital improvement program. The capital improvement program and budget is concerned with the assessment of need, assignment of priorities, and efficient allocation of the City's existing and potential fiscal resources for major community Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives and Policies 9-5 nn� 12/0312002 CITY OF SEBASTUNI CHAPTER 9-. CAPITAL E IPROV 2dENTS ELEMENT Planning and Zoning Board with or without modifications in the proposed five-year schedule of improvements. Policy 9-1.1.8: Capital Improvement Project Evaluation Criteria. Proposed capital improvement projects shall be evaluated and ranked according to the following priority level guidelines: a. "Level 1": whether the project is financially feasible and is needed to: • Protect public health and safety. • Fulfill the City's legal commitment to provide facilities and services. • Preserve or achieve full use of existing facilities: • Maintain compliance with plans of State agencies or the St. Johns River Water Management District that provide public facilities within the City of Sebastian. b. "Level 2": whether the project accomplishes the following: • Increases efficiency of existing facilities. • Prevents or reduces future improvement costs. • Provides service to developed areas lacking full service or promotes in -fill development or redevelopment. c. "Level 3": whether the project • Represents a logical extension of facilities and services for new development in a manner consistent with Future Land Use Element goals, objectives, and policies, including the Future Land Use Map. OBJECTIVE 9-1.2: LIMITATION ON PUBLIC IlW ESTMENTS IN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA. The Public expenditures that subsidize development in the Coastal High Hazard Area shall be limited to improvements included in the Coastal Management Element and Public Facilities Element. Policy 9-1.2.1: Public Improvements in the Coastal Preservation Zone. The City of Sebastian shall not use public funds to subsidize development -within _the. coastal -high hazard area. However, this provision -shall not preclude planned water wastewater infrastructure investments for purposes of improving water quality and sanitary conditions along major floodways and the Indian River Lagoon where current septic tank usage constitutes potential health and water quality hazards, including possibly effluent leaching into the Indian River Lagoon and floodway within residential areas. Similarly, drainage improvements may be recommended as part of a proposed citywide drainage improvement plan for purposes of managing stormwater runoff and improving water quality controls. No other infrastructure improvements shall be undertaken excepting facilities required to enhance shoreline access, resource restoration, or traffic improvements designed to promote and further public safety within developed high hazard areas. OBJECTIVE 9-1.3: FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS TO BEAR COSTS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPACTS. All development after January 1, 1998, shall be required to fund a pro rata share of all needed improvements which are directly attributed to the impact generated by the proposed development. A concurrency management system (CMS) shall be adopted before December 31, 1997, by the City of Sebastian (refer to Objective 9-1.5). The CMS shall mandate that applicants for development or redevelopment be required to provide a pro rate share of all capital improvements necessitated by the impact generated by the proposed development. The applicant/developer shall meet their pro rata share of the capital improvements either by constructing the necessary component or by providing funds in lieu of construction. This objective shall be measured through the implementation of the following policies. Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives and Policies 9-7 094I99 12/03/2007, CITY OF SEBASTIAN CHAPTER 9: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT include review of the public facilities and infrastructure improvement needs identified in the Comprehensive Plan together with any new engineered assessment of infrastructure components in order to identify needed replacement or renewal of capital facilities. The City shall annually prepare a local management strategy which is directed toward ensuring that needed replacement or renewal of capital facilities are identified, prioritized, and scheduled in a manner consistent with the existing and proposed fiscal resources of the City. OBJECTIVE 9-1.5: CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT. Pursuant to Ch. 163, F.S., and §9J-5.0055, F.A.C., the City shall ensure that facilities and services needed to support development are available concurrent with the impacts of such development. Beginning in January 1, 1998, no final development order shall be issued which would result in a reduction of adopted levels of service. In order to prevent a reduction in level of service, the City shall issue no final development order unless the applicant provides narrative and graphic information demonstrating to the satisfaction of the City that adopted level of service standards for public facilities including roads, water and wastewater services, drainage, solid waste, and recreation will be maintained and that improvement needs shall be in place concurrent with the impacts of development. This objective shall be implemented through the following policy: Policy 9-1.5.1: Resolving Concurrency Issues. In order to implement §9J-5.0055 and Objective 8-1.5, the above measure, the City shall require that all developments requiring a development order as part of the review process (as defined in §163.3164 F.S., including comprehensive, plan amendments, rezoning amendments, subdivision approvals, site plan approvals, or building permit approvals) shall, at the time the subject application is filed, submit narrative and graphic information which demonstrates that all urban services needed by the proposed development can. and will be provided concurrent with the new .development. In order to establish- an orderly review process, the City. shall refine --the- Land. Development Code by stipulating specific narrative and/or graphic data and information required at the time an application for comprehensive plan amendment or zoning code amendment, subdivision or replat approval, site plan approval, or building permit approval is field with the City. As a minimum, the information shall include the following: • The specific land use(s) and the proposed density and/or intensity of the use(s); • Estimated trips for the peak hour operated by the proposed land use(s) together with anticipated on and off -site improvements necessitated to accommodate the traffic impacts generated by the development including, additional R/W, roadway improvements, additional paved laneage, traffic sipalization, proposed methods for controlling access and egress, and other similar improvements; • Planned improvements in potable water and/or wastewater systems required to establish and/or maintain adopted water and wastewater levels of service. System improvements and proposed funding resources required for implementing any improvements required to establish and/or maintain adopted potable water and wastewater system level of service standards; • Conceptual plan for accommodating stormwater run-off and demonstrated evidence that the proposed drainage improvements shall accommodate stormwater run-off without adversely impacting natural systems or the City adopted level of service for storm drainage; • In cases where residential development is proposed, information shall be submitted describing plans for accommodating recreational demands generated by the development, including demonstrated evidence that the City's adopted level of service for recreation shall not be adversely impacted; • Projected demand generated by the development on the solid waste disposal system and assurances that the City adopted level of service for solid waste disposal shall not be adversely impacted; Comprehensive Plan Goals, objectives and Policies 9_9 099149 12/03/2002 CITY OF SEBASTIAN CHAPTER 9: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT Barber Street (Wimbrow Dr to Schumann Dr) D Fleming Street (Main St to CR 512) D East Street (Main St to Schumann Dr) D Vocelle Avenue (CR 505 to Fleming St) D Main Street (US I to Wimbrow Dr) D Laconia Street (CR 512 to South City Limit) D Significant Local Street shown on the Major Thoroughfare Plan Barber Street Extension (Schumann Dr to US I) —City D Englar Avenue (Barber St to Schumann Dr) --City D Wimbrow Drive (Main St to East CR 512)--City D Louisiana Avenue (Main St to CR 512) —City D Local All roads not classified as arterials, collectors, or significant ` D local streets sho7 on the Maibr Thoroughfare Plan.

The City shall issue no development order or development permit for new development for which development orders were previously issued unless the concurrency management requirements cited in Objective 9-1.5 and Policy 9-5.1 has been satisfied pursuant to requirements of §9J-5.0055(2) F.A.C. The adequate facilities ordinance shall mandate that future applications for development shall include a written evaluation of the impact of the anticipated development on the levels of services for the water and wastewater systems, solid waste system, drainage, recreation, and the traffic circulation system. Prior to issuing a °development order or permit the City shall ensure that provisions of concurrency management established in Objective 9-1.5 and Policy 9-1.5.1 have been met. The developer's application shall demonstrate that .the proposed development shall include all requisite improvements and that the improvements shall be in place concurrent with the impacts of development as defined in and pursuant to Objective'94.5 and consistent with 9J-5.0055, F.A.C. The final point for determining concurrency must be prior to the issuance of a development order or permit which contains a specific plan for development; including the densities and intensities of use. Policy 9-1.6.3: Evaluation Criteria for Plan Amendments. Proposed Plan amendments and requests for new development or redevelopment shall be evaluated according to the following guidelines: a. Does the proposed action contribute to a condition of public hazard as described in the Public Facilities and/or Coastal Management Elements; b. Does the proposed action exacerbate any existing condition of public facility capacity deficits, as described in the Transportation Circulation, Public Facilities, and/or Recreation and Open Space Elements; c. Does the proposed action generate public facility demands that may be accommodated by capacity increases planned in the Five -Year Schedule ofImprovements; d.
