Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element Policy 5.7: The county shall use general obligation bonds and other sources to raise the funding required to provide those public facilities that cannot be constructed with user fees, revenue bonds, impact fees, capacity charges, or other dedicated revenue sources. Policy 5.8: Developments, which require public facility infrastructure improvements that will be financed by county debt, shall have their development orders conditioned on the issuance of the county debt or the substitution of a comparable amount of non -debt revenue. Policy 5.9: Pursuant to state law, the Schedule of Capital Improvements may be adjusted by ordinance and not deemed to be an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan when the amendment relates to corrections, updates, or modifications concerning costs, revenue sources, acceptance of facilities pursuant to dedications which are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, or the date of construction of any facility except transportation facilities enumerated in the Schedule of Capital Improvements. For transportation facilities, a delay in construction of a facility which causes the level -of -service of that facility to deteriorate below the adopted minimum level -of -service standard for the roadway will require a comprehensive plan amendment. Policy 5 10: The county shall ensure that all capital improvements identified in the various elements of the Comprehensive Plan are completed according to schedule. The only acceptable delays will be those which are subject to one of the following: ➢ Projects providing capacity equal to, or greater than, the delayed project are accelerated within or added to the Schedule of Capital Improvements; ➢ Modification of development orders issued conditionally or subject to the concurrent availability of public facility capacity provided by the delayed project. Such modification shall restrict the allowable amount and schedule of development to that which can be served by the capacity of public facilities according to the revised schedule; or ➢ Amendment of the plan to reduce the adopted standard for the level -of -service for public facilities until the fiscal year in which the delayed project is scheduled to be completed. Policy 5.11: The county hereby adopts Appendix B as the County's Priority Transportation Capital Improvements Schedule. This schedule provides the project description, estimated date of commencement of actual construction, estimated date of completion, and estimated cost for projects that will increase roadway capacity on priority facilities.
