CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT efficient growth in desired areas, discourage growth in undesirable areas, and protect environmentally sensitive lands. Development orders will be based upon the availability of adequate public facilities and services which will provide additional support for the Future Land Use and Traffic Circulation Elements. The objectives of the Future Land Use and Traffic Circulation Elements will be furthered by the extension of facilities and services in a logical and efficient manner. This will be accomplished by implementing and enforcing the adopted Capital Improvements Element and its corresponding S -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements. This ensures that facilities and services will be in place concurrent with future land -use development.

This, in effect, indirectly controls the timing and location of future land -tree development and, in turn, furthers the implementation of the Future Land Use and Traffic Circulation Elements's objectives. Specifically, the Future Land Use Element of the plan delineates existing and future year 2010 urban service areas and -the location of public facilities, referenced in Figure 2.33. The proposed Land Use Map, Figure 2.34 a/b/c, in the Future Land Use Element, directly relates to the location of public facilities and the urban service areas. The Land Use Map graphically portrays the maximum land use densities/intensities for the county by the year 2010. The As shown on the map, allowable residential land use densities in some areas are as high as 10 units to the acre in the urban service areas and as low as 1 unit per 4e 20 acres outside the urban service areas. The commercial/industrial land use areas are located along the US #1 Corridor and nodal areas located along major transportation routes and intersections. The use of a schedule of capital improvements is important in the timing and provision of improvements to existing facilities or services and construction of new facilities. The prioritization of projects, and the scheduling of projects based on projected need and available revenue, will ensure that existing resources are properly allocated. This scheduling effort will also ensure that the appropriate areas will be served by needed facilities, thus maintaining adopted levels of service.
