ORDINANCE 2007-038 Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element SJRWMD will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the timing and location of capital improvements as identified in the CIE. Changes to the Capital Improvements Program With the recent downturn in the housing market and the reduction in building permit activity, both anticipated county funds and developer funds have decreased and are expected to remain lower than previously projected in. the prior year's Capital Improvements Program (Fiscal Year; 2006/07 through 2010/11). As a result of the decrease in proiected revenue and the associated decrease in projected demand for public facilities, the overall Capital Improvements Program has been scaled back Consequently, a number of projects within the 2006/07 through 2010/11 CIP leave either had their costs modified, have been deferred, or have had their time frame extended. None of these changes will impact development project concurrency reservations. Because of the downturn in the housing market and construction activity, it is anticipated that the capacity associated with these projects will not be needed until later dates. Besides the projects referenced above that are being delayed or deferred several concurrency related transportation projects included in the Fiscal Year 2006/07 through 2010/11 CIP are no longer necessary to maintain the Countys adopted transportation level of service These projects have therefore been removed from the CIP The specific projects removed from the transportation section of the CIP are c fol Road. 27'" Avenue, 58th Avenue, and. 74th Avenue, 27th Avenue from 13'h Street SW to 17th Street SW and 58t" A Oslo 26"' Street to 77'° Street, were partially reliant upon developers' financial contributions for their construction. The remaining funds for those projects were to come from county impact fees optional sales tax collections, and gas tax revenue. With the exception of one project, none o'the projects being deleted from last year's CIP shown in `Fable 6.7 have had their added capacity relied upon for vesting development projects for concurrency. Available capacity on links that are associated with the deleted projects listed in Table 6.7 ranges from 112.90 available trips to 767 available trips. deleted from the CIP that has had its added development projects is 27th Avenue, from 13th Street SW to 17t" Street SW. Currently, there is insufficient available capacity along that portion of 27th Avenue to accommodate approved and vested tuture development projects. Por that reason, anew project with limits that complement the deleted 27th Avenue :from 13th Street SW to 17th Street SW project has been added to the CIP As shown in Table 6.8, the new proiect which involves adding, lanes to 27th Avenue from 13th Street SW to 5t1' Street SVS' will add capacity to the concurrency segments on 27th Avenue north and south of Oslo Road, Community Development Department Indian River County 29
