Policy 9-1.1.1: Intent of Capital Improvement Element. The City is committed to growth management
which incorporates appropriate fiscal management practices and procedures. The City shall consider the use
of all legal 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

CITY OF SEBASTIAN
CHAPTER 9: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
improvements or acquIsItIons over a five- to ten-year period. The fundamental purposes of the capital
programming process are as follows:
a. To consolidate and coordinate aU the various departmental requests by taxing district with the bope of reducing delays and
coordinating individual improvement programs.
b. To establish a system of procedures and priorities by which each proposal can be evaluated in terms of public need, long-
range development plans, and short- and long-term fiscal management impacts.
c. To schedule future capital outlay projects pursuant to identified needs and priorities.
d. To set forth a fmancing program that identifies potential funding sources, including but not limited to ad valorem
taxes/general obligation bonds; user fees/revenue of excise tax bonds; grant programs; equitable contributions or exactments;
as weU as performance standards and other components of growth management which may be used as a fiscal strategy for
obtaining needed capital improvements in developing areas.
e. To coordinate joint projects involving participation by one or more local governments, as weU as Regional, State, or Federal
agencies.
Policy 9-1.1.3: Capital Improvement Program and Budget as a Plan Implementation Device. The
capital improvements program shall be used for achieving orderly urban growth and development. By
providing a planned and reasonably reliable schedule of public projects, the capital improvement program
and budget shall provide a guide for both public and private capital investment decisions affecting
community development patterns. The capital improvement programming and budgeting process is a
primary tool for closely coordinating land use planning and fiscal management required to successfully
carry out the Comprehensive Plan.
Policy 9-1.1.4: Fiscal Implications of Proposed Engineered Master Plans for Public Facilities. The
City has no engineered master plan identifying preliminary costs for improvements to the transportation or
drainage systems. Updated engineering estimates also are needed to determine cost impacts for potential
improvements to the water, wastewater systems--either operated by the General Utilities Company or
currently being planned by Indian River County. Needed engineering infrastructure improvement plans
including cost and estimates are identified in the capital improvement program as needed preliminary
engineering capital outlays.
Policy 9-1.1.5: Availability and Scheduling of Capital Improvements. The City shall include within the
five-year schedule of capital improvements contained within this Element all capital improvements which
are identified in any of the respective elements of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Capital improvements
with an estimated cost of less than $10,000.00 shall be included in the six-year capital improvements
program and annual capital budget. Also, the capital improvement program and budgeting process shall be
used to plan for needed infrastructure improvements to serve projects for which development orders were
issued prior to plan adoption. The City shall also promote code enforcement as a means to assure
availability of such services as deemed appropriate.
Policy 9-1.1.6: Priorities in Allocating Capital Improvements. In allocating priorities for scheduling and
funding capital improvement funds, the City shall assign highest priority to capital improvement projects in
the the-year schedule of improvements which are designed to correct existing deficiencies.
9-1.1.7: Planning and Zoning Board to Draft and Rank Capital Improvement Priorities. The Planning
and Zoning Board shall have the authority and responsibility to evaluate and recommend a rank order of
priority for capital improvements which is proposed for inclusion in the five-year schedule of capital
improvements. The City Council shall review and retain its authority to adopt the recommendations of the
Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives and Policies

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. "Levell": 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 INVESTMENTS 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 desigued 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 applicaht/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.

CITY OF SEBASTIAN
CHAPTER 9: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
Policy 9-1.3.1: New Techniques for Funding Traffic and Stormwater Drainage Improvements
Generated by New Development. As part of the proposed drainage and road improvement master plans,
during FY 1992 tarough IT 1991 FY 2003 through FY 2007 the City shall investigate effective measures or
funding projected future infrastructure needs for drainage and road improvements.
The City's planning effort shall investigate municipal taxing districts and other approaches which are to be
used in assessing new development a pro-rata share of costs necessary to fund drainage improvement needs.
By the end of +9W 2003 the City shall adopt an ordinance which assesses new developments, a pro rata
share for the necessary public facilities needed to maintain adopted level of service standards.
OBJECTIVE 9-1.4: FISCAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT. The City shall manage fiscal resources to
ensure provision of needed capital improvements for previously issued development orders and for future
development and redevelopment.
Policy 9-1.4.1: Availability of Adequate Public Facilities. 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 g9J-5.0055 (2) F.A.C. The adequate facilities ordinance shall mandate that future
applications or development shall include a written evaluation of the impact of the anticipated development
on the levels of service or the water and wastewater systems, solid waste systern, 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 have been met. The

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

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 refme 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 ofthe use(s);
. Estimated trips for the peak hour operated hy 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 signalization, 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 stonnwater 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 stann 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
